I never thought this day would come. Finally, ONE of my children (the last of four) wants to play the sax.

The school offers rentals from 2 different companies - identical cost, but different instruments. One company offers a Yamaha model YAS-200AD for $35/mo and the other offers a Jupiter for $35/mo. The band director recommends them both equally. :confused:

The company that offers the Jupiter is a local store, and we purchase all our guitars, amps, etc. from them. http://www.advancemusicvt.com/ and have always enjoyed great service.

The other company, http://ellismusic.com/company_info.php offers the Yamaha, and is a more traditional school band instrument company.

I know I could let my son (Donovan, age 9) use one of Mom's - but I think it is important that he feels like it belongs to him.

Help!???
 
Agreed. Both saxes are fine student instruments, so I'd go for trusted local service every time over the trivial differences in terms of quality between the saxes.
 

Similar threads... or are they? Maybe not but they could be worth reading anyway 😀
