The Thomann TAS-180 is a surprisingly solid entry-level alto sax. It’s a great option for students or players on a budget who want a decent, playable horn with a warmer tone than some of the brighter student models. The ergonomic design makes it comfortable, and the detachable bell offers a little room for future modifications.
