The brand name is Stirling.Not sure if it was made in China or Taiwan but it is quite well made.The case lends more toward Taiwan.I have just given it a full service and sanitised everything.No issues .It has the additional high F# key .Past servicing by KBB which included 12 new pads.It comes with a one year warranty for peace of mind.It has some cosmetic ageing but overall very respectable and tidy.This would suit a learner or someone not wanting to outlay too muchwho just wants to try the sax and see if they want to go further.Plays very well .Happy to ship NZ wide.Thanks for looking.
