The Allora Paris Series Alto Saxophone This is the sound of the Allora Paris Series alto saxophone. I find it to be a satisfactory instrument, though sometimes, I do feel like there is some resistance. There are times when I…

My precious Allora Paris Series Tenor Sax – broken! The left-hand thumb rest detached from the saxophone. I don’t know why it came undone. Maybe the glue used was sub-standard. It looks like an easy fix, though. I will repair…
