Hi there,
I've been playing alto sax now for a year and a half or thereabouts. I love my alto sax (a yanagisawa A902) but would love to try tenor too. I'm five foot tall, with small hands. Does anybody think this should be a problem?
I've my eye on two tenors at the moment, one a Yamaha YTS 275 and the other a Jupiter JTS 565. Does anyone have any avice to offer on what would be the better option for me. I won't have a chance to try either as they are both in the UK and I'm based in Ireland. There are very few second hand saxes available here.
Also, I'm using the Yanagisawa No. 6 ebonite mouthpiece with V16 (size 2 - 2.5 reeds). What kind of setup would I need if switching to tenor? Any ideas and advice welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Audrey
