Hi,
I'm totally new to the saxophone and this is my first post but I have just acquired an old alto saxophone.
A Pierret " corps embouti" (according to several web searches I believe it's circa 1920)
It needs a professional set up/re pad etc. But that aside. Would I be better of learning on a modern instrument. Or do you think I would be ok learning on the old saxophone? Assuming it is restored ok, would there be any issues with keys in different positions or playing issues I might meet on an old sax or anything like that?
Thanks and any advise would be great.
