[QUOTE="skeller047, post: 522920, member: 9069"] If you are a small child, then alto is best. It’s just a size issue. Otherwise it doesn’t matter, so choose which you like best. Most people would say Yamaha is a great beginner saxophone, YTS 2xx - anything starting with “2” is their least expensive “student“ line. Stay away from Amazon or Ebay saxophones, especially those that are under $500. Depending on your budget go used or new. Or you could rent. Other good student/beginner brands are Jupiter, Jean Paul (maybe US only??) and Chateau. Another possibility is the “house brand” from Thomann or Sax.co. But these, though cheaper, are prone to issues in build quality. I’m sure other folks will have other suggestions. [/QUOTE]
