I still welcome anyone to send me a Chinese- or Taiwanese-made horn to check out. I think the last one I tried was around 10 years ago. Maybe more. I don't get out much.
I would welcome any tech to post a make/model that is both good and good to work on and/or easy to get parts for. That really shoots down a lot of the "house brand" horns. It's also one of the reasons to recommend a Yamaha. I'm also unsure about durability.
I see 675 current listings for "yamaha alto sax" on ebay and 750 completed listings. I didn't even include the Yamaha 23 Vito-labeled horns.
