I'd be careful. There is some really junky Chinese stuff out there. Ive
seen some with keys made of cast aluminum! The keys bend with the
slightest pressure. It is impossible to keep them regulated. The ones I
have seen go under Chinese-sounding names, or sometimes "Heimer." Good luck!

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
