Is the Conrad DSP Alto sax any good for a beginer?

I am considering buying my first Saxophone, and have seen this model for sale. Whilst I appreciate it is not a Yamaha, or equivalent, is it a solid unit for learning on?
I hope someone can help me out,
Thanks Clive

Yes! But be warned...
by: Stevie Jo

I have the exact same saxophone as you're referring to - I've been playing for about 4 years, and it's the only saxophone I have ever had. I would definitely recommend this model, since, although it's not a yamaha, a yanagisawa, a selmer or another top brand as you said, it certainly gets you through the early stages of learning, has a decent action and intonation and copes brilliantly with beginners. In fact, mine got me all the way through from beginner to grade 8 with distinction, although I had to buy an expensive selmer C* mouthpiece for my grade 8 exam in order to cope with the expressive requirements.

So, to summarise, I would recommend getting this saxophone if you are a beginner, but be prepared to spend more money leter if you plan to get to a higher standard.
