What a great web site this is!
I am planning to buy a tenor sax in the very near future, and came across this site while researching instruments. I played oboe many decades ago when at school and played amateur in several orchestras and small groups, as well as a bit of solo work.
I have not played or practised regularly for ten years or more, though, so thought a sax might be a better idea. I met a local English chap the other day and it turned out that he plays alto in a local band. He used to have a tenor and said that he wished he had not sold it as they need a tenor sax in the band. That gave me the idea to take up the sax.
I am looking at buying a Bauhaus-Walstein tenor. They seem to have very good reviews and seem to be well-made and give good sound. I will be visiting a shop in a few weeks to see and hear for myself.
I am probably mad to be starting at my age (66), but I think it will be fun. It may be a dream, but to be able to play some jazz or big-band music would be just great.
Any advice would be welcome.
