HI Everyone
My name is Charley, i,m 26 and hoping to teach myself sax. I come from a musical background - in primary school was in the choir and played recorder. At high school learned cornet and double bass, was in the brass band and orchestra.
I just love the sound of the sax - so versitile and expressive. I have also wanted to learn to play just never got round too it till now. I am starting with alto as i am quite small and due to a back condition can't carry much weight.
I am looking for a good starter horn - i want something decent that i wouldn't have to upgrade a few months down the line but can certainly not justify buying a professional one. I have been looking at the Yamaha 275 and 475. Both look nice horns and are within my price range. What would be the benefit of paying the extra money for the 475 over the 275.
Thanks
Looking foward to talking to all you sax player out there
