Difficulty Rating: 1
I’m not sure I agree this is a level 1 difficulty. I found it more difficult than several of the 2/5 that I have completed.
The Alto Saxophone is built in several steps to create large chunks that are all connected in the end to finish the build.
The first section that is built is the body of the Alto Saxophone. A bunch of round bricks created the body. It was a bit tricky because the body rotates, but there isn’t a note in the instructions that says it gets rotated.
The next step is to build the neck and mouthpieces of the instrument. These steps were very straightforward and simple to build.
The next step is to build the bell in 2 sections. The first section is to build very straightforward. In the second section, I had difficulty figuring out what step one was. It was marked, but I still had difficulty figuring it out.
The next step is to build the stand for the Alto Saxophone. This was very straightforward.
Finally, I connected all the pieces to create a finished Alto Saxophone. I liked how the instrument is on an angle so it looks like it can be played.
Things I liked:
- I like how the finished build is at an angle
Things I didn’t like:
- I didn’t like how unclear step 12 was when I was building the instrument.
