Prelude by Conn-Selmer €469

The first of the Saxophones available is the Taiwanese entry-level by the Prelude by Conn-Selmer brand. In an effort to compete in the inexpensive end of the saxophone market, all of the major sax makers are beginning to produce what are best decribed as trial instruments. These instruments are designed with concerned parents in mind. If the student or parent is unsure whether the potential or interest is long-term, these instruments are reasonably priced with the advice that if the interest is long-term, the instrument should be upgraded after a year of study. The cost of this package includes a case and reeds.

Buffet Crampon €699

After what can only be described as a rollercoaster ride over the last 2 years, Buffet are finally back on their feet after a series of very unfortunate events involving circumstances well beyond their control.

However, after they managed to rescue themselves from near extinction, they are back producing top quality instruments. They are highly recommended by many and all instruments come complete with case, mouthpiece, reeds and of course a complimentary service after 3 months.

€699
