hey i want to buy a ato sax im currently hireing one from school i got a yamaha but i was wondering what brand i should get. my price range is $0-$1000??

what model yamaha are you using?
If it's a 23 you're not gonna find anything better for under $1000.

you can get cheap saxes that might look & sound great at first, but they will break easily.


Its better, ALOT better to go with a jupiter or a popular brand as they arent overly expensive and they are great!!!

I started out on the Yamaha YAS-23. It's great for beginners (in my opinion). What level (beginner, intermediate, pro, etc...) do you think you are?? This will help when narrowing down choices...

berginer - intermediate probley

could you please post what model yamaha you are currently using?

i dnt nbo soz

whatever you do, don't get a Bundy II. They are naturally out of tune.

I have a yamaha 23 and i'm renting it i would suggest doing the same if you plan on getting a new sax in a year or 2. Also it is a good sax, good tone and good keys. be careful with the g# key though mine broke and it wouldn't lift up but it wasn't that bad of a repair.

If you can find a second hand Yani go ahead and get it, or some websites have second hand selmer 52's if you are commited to the sax.
