Can anyone Identify this saxophone?

Hi,

The engraving is a B, for Bentley.

I'm gonna say randomly-stenciled Chinese sop, based on other ones I've seen around. There may be zero way to determine who actually made this one.

Yes Bentley.

Certainly Chinese and Certainly Cheap because a better brand would take at the very least the pride to stamp or engrave (or laser which is the case) their full name if they had one.

With so many good players (even among the Chinese production) I would not risk (unless it was cheap as inexpensive fried potatoes) more than €100 in buying one knowing that I most probably would sell it.

I did buy once a cheap Chinese curved soprano to feel if I liked to play a curved soprano. When I tried it it also didn’t play badly but it wasn’t worth even having it adjusted. So I sold it and bought myself a NEW Chinese made Bauhaus Walstein which I still highly recommend over a no name Chinese curvy.

I thought it was an alto clef -- which would be a particularly odd choice for a soprano.
