Hi Bex

Welcome to the Breakfast Room. Selmer Prelude is probably the entry level Selmer horn. I've heard they are good.

I'm sure you are going to get some good advice from all the folk here, just ask...

Cheers, Bob

Welcome Bex,

Nice to see another young female saxophonist here in the brekkie room (not that I don't enjoy and benefit from the wealth of experience and advice from all the chaps here.)

Post a pic of your sax - I just assumed any Selmer was good news - happy blowing!

Hi Bex, Welcome to the forums! You'll find that Pete has provided a wealth of terrific information that will help and guide you in your learning process right here on his main site.
The Conn-Selmer USA "Prelude" is an Asian made student horn (some say the origin is Taiwan, others say PRC). It will most definitely get you through the early years of study admirably. That was a nice birthday gift indeed!

Might I suggest that you avoid a myriad of pitfalls by spending a few pounds having your horn looked over by a competent Technician to insure that it is sealing and all is working properly. Many current production horns (Student and Pro alike) are being delivered from the factory totally unsuitable in the way of adjustment and setup. This can wreck havoc on your tender learning progress and development if gone uncorrected. Cheers.
