Hello,
Im totally new here but have been reading the odd post from time to time. So Hi to all
I am about to start learning how to play the soprano sax, i have never played a sax before and i have put it off for an age due to 'other peoples advice' lots of people have said only learn on an alto but few have said start with what you love (which is the soprano) ANYWAY.. my teacher (whom im yet to have a lesson with) advised i hire a sax from 'John Packer' and then if i want to continue playing after a few months etc i could purchase the instrument.
I have been reading a lot of reviews about sax and what is good, what is not and there is such different opinions on make and models im now hitting my head on brick walls.
So i though i would join and ask people on here myself.
Is hiring from John Packer a good idea?
Is then buying it a good idea?
If not is there anyone else i could hire from and who?
Should i even buy i keep hiring for a while until i can buy something really good?
Any help is much appreciated, i want to get off to a good start as when i learnt violin i did it all wrong.
Many thanks
