Hallo, Everyone.
Although I have already posted in the Bauhaus-Walstein thread, I have not yet here.
I am South African, though currently based in Northern Ireland. I played the clarinet at school, and now (in my 40s) want to learn the sax (as a relief from stressful work).
I cannot yet decide on a tenor or soprano. I love the sound of the soprano (at least as it is exemplified in Pete's sound-clips!), but am wary because of the opinion heard that it is difficult. I would prefer the tenor over the alto I think merely because it is a bit less commonly played and I also enjoyed having a go recently on a relative's YTS-62.
I believe that the best way to buy sight unseen is to follow the advice in this forum concerning the value-for-money quality of BWs.
I may have to travel 40 minutes to Belfast to find a group to play with (later), which is a bit dificult, but what's the point if one can't be in some sort of band?
Any advice at this stage would not be unwelcome! Thanks.
