I know this will have been asked before, and I've searched through lots of threads, but wondered if anyone could give me some advice.
I play alto, but have played the tenor in the past and am thinking of getting another.
I've looked on the net at quite a few, including the Bauhaus, Hanson, Thomann.
There's a Hanson ST8 used on the hanson website for £700 which is at the top of my budget, and I've seen that some of the Bauhaus saxes are around that much, but there are quite a few models of the bauhaus, so I'm not sure how they compare like for like.
I think I'd prefer a modern sax as I'm used to modern keywork, although to be honest I don't know how important this is.
I'm inclined to go for new rather than second-hand and Iknow that the Hanson is used, but I've heard good things about the company and as it's being sold through their shop, I reckon it will be what they say it is and ready to play.
Hoping all you tenor players can help me come to a decision.
