What do you know about this sax? mark X is a good one?

A link or photo would help. Beware that it may be a new horn that is made in China. Some are OK but most are really bad.

I don't know anything about that brand my friend. Everyone on here says to stay away from Chinese imports.

I mentioned on another thread that these horns are not chinese, but vietnamese. And they are not junk. I own a Selmer Mark VI tenor, and I recently bought a Swing Street Mark X alto, which is a re-engineered Mark VI design. The most impressive thing about the horn is how solid everything is. It's built to withstand a lot of intense playing, with low maintenance. Super action, good pads, springs, keys, and arms. It just seems very well made. I own a number of horns, and I put this among the better ones I have purchased.

Hello, Thanks for your question. The Swing Street Music Mark Series of saxes is our own stencil line and they are top quality, nothing like a chinese instrument. They are the same horns sold by other national brands. We have been playing, buying and selling saxes for 20+ years and we can assure you that this is one of the best quality/playing stencils you will find. We are also a full-line Conn-Selmer dealer. The Swing Street Music Mark Series horns are made by a Taiwanese manufacturer in their Vietnam factory, which lowers cost without sacrificing quality.

What is the difference between the 2 series (besides engraving) ??

 

[TheInstrumentStore]

The Mark V series is Post to body construction and the Mark X is full ribbed construction. We offer no engraving, bell engraving and full engraving but in order to keep the combinations from getting out of hand, we limit full engraving to the Mark X. Thanks, Steve
