David, when you say "Asian" do you mean Chinese, or only some specific countries? Some Japanese (Asian) saxophones are better quality than saxophones from many other countries.

Also what do you mean by "quality of their materials"? Can you give some examples? Although this is true sometimes I found that some supposedly decent instrument don't always have better materials than some Chinese saxophone.

It is almost always the build quality that is horrible for the SSOs, but I hear there are several Chinese instruments that are not SSOs eventhough they might seem that way at first. Here is one article from a trustworthy repairer in the UK Steve Howard http://www.shwoodwind.co.uk/Reviews/Ultra_Cheap_horns.htm
These saxophones or equivilent ones with different names are not available here (or at least I haven't seen them if they are) but maybe you have them in USA.
