Hi all, I've been a lurker in this forum for a while, trying to decide what horn to buy. I had finally decided to go for a used Yamaha YAS-23 and then invest on some work.

But then my local shop received these Gemeinhardt GSA500-LQ saxophones. They supposedly retail for $1400, though Gemeinhardt is now selling them for $980. My local shop is selling new ones for $550. I found zero information about them online... no youtube videos, no forum posts, nada.

Anyone had any experience with these horns?

This is going to be a chinese made horn. For that same money you could get a 23 that doesn't need any work. There are several Japanese Vito on ebay around 350. Same horn as the 23.
