Cecilio Brand Any Good?    21:56 on Monday, May 07, 2007 Vote for this post Vote against this post 0 votes

I'm looking to get a new saxophone for the next school year, and I came across this one.

http://cgi.ebay.com/90-OFF-Brand-NEW-Cecilio-Blue-Gold-Alto-Saxophone-Sax_W0QQitemZ130108351494QQihZ003QQcategoryZ16232QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

I really like the color and the price, and it looks okay. But I've never used this brand, and haven't heard of it that much. Is it a good quality?

For that price, very unlikely, although you may strike it lucky. VERY high risk. The first time it needs servicing, which may well be straight away, the cost of servicing may be close to the cost of the sax, and in any case, after that servicing is done, the sax is likely to have a value that is less than the cost of the servicing. That means that there is a good chance that as soon as you buy it, you may as well throw it away.

See this cautionary tale:

Much better to buy a second hand sax of a well known, reputable brand name, such as Yamaha.

You may find people who have experience with the "brand" at www.saxontheweb.net

I completely agree with micron. Spend $200 more on a used Yamaha 23, a relaible horn that will last you the rest of your life if necessary. You won't regret it for a second.

I decided I'd probably just go with Yamaha. I know that theirs are good quality.

Be aware that most saxophones for sale, both second hand AND new, need servicing before they will play well.
