Subscribe Sax Ledger:    / @saxledger   Some cheap saxophone brands get ignored instantly because of the price tag — but the truth about budget saxes is more complicated than most players think. In this video, we break down 5 cheap saxophone brands everyone ignores and why some affordable horns may come from the same factory networks, production regions, or manufacturing pipelines connected to far more expensive instruments. From Eastar, Mendini, Glory, and other budget-friendly names to side-by-side comparisons with professional saxophones, we look at where the real value might be hiding — and where beginners still need to be careful. Cheap doesn’t always mean terrible, but it also doesn’t always mean hidden gem. The key is knowing what to check: tone, intonation, key action, build quality, pads, setup, and whether the saxophone can actually grow with the player. Before spending thousands on a “serious” horn — or wasting money on a bad beginner sax — this video shows what budget saxophones can really offer.
