"Orpheo Intermediate" alto sax. I mean really held one and played it? I came across a youtube video of a guy advertising one and playing it. It sounded o.k. but then it was played on my computer through a set of headphones. The ad "copy" was impressive as well. I realize it may well be crap, or it could be one of those Chinese horns that are pretty good.
I'm not really looking to buy one but at the prices I've seen it's tempting. I found the very same horn listed at at least 4 places. Price ranging from $249 to $399. Same horn, same "deal." Free shipping, no tax, 2 year warranty.
So, I'm curious. I did read a couple comments that were negative but they were from people who hadn't actually used one.
So - I repeat. Have any of you good folks actually laid hands and lips upon one?
