I confirm the opinion of Woodbrass and Selmer. The sound is beautifully rich in harmonics, powerful, very good projection. Excellent flexibility in intonations, which allows great expressiveness, fabulous. However, the approach is quite delicate or even difficult. The high register requires strong reeds otherwise nothing comes out. The low register also demands a lot of control, the low B and Bb tend to stand out excessively if not controlled. The ergonomics are excellent, close to perfection, except for the left hand pinky key which lacks flexibility compared to the competition. Be careful, the lows tend to roll if you pull the mouthpiece too much, it's very unpleasant. Otherwise, despite the difficult approach, you get attached to this saxophone and forgive its small flaws when you hear the power of its sound and its richness. Note that the case is a model of success, it perfectly protects the instrument as it fits all its shapes. It can be worn as a backpack or shoulder bag, perfect.
