Hi guys. My wife's birthday is coming up next month and I thought I'd surprise her by getting her a tenor sax. She used to be quite musical in her teens and she's always talked to me about playing a tenor as one of those things she REALLY has to do in life! I want to surprise her but the more I've read up about saxophones, the more worried and confused I'm becoming. I know to stay away from chinese/very cheap saxs. In an ideal world I'd love to buy her a new Trevor James or Yamaha but my budget won't stretch that far. I have about £400 to spend, which should get me a decent 2nd hand tenor from what I can gather. However, I've also read that a novice (like me!) shouldn't buy 2nd hand off Ebay. What would you guys suggest?
*Are there any new tenors for <£400 or are they all poor?
*What brands should I be looking at new/second hand?
*What should I look for if I do buy 2nd hand?
I know there will be some horrible saxs out there but I know there'll be some genuine sellers too. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
