I want to buy a Professional Alto Sax. but I don't which ones are better. I am more of a jazz, and latin jazz musician. Any recommendations?
Answers:
When buying any musical instrument it is best to try it out. Get yourself a good mouthpiece and go from store to store trying different models. What you are looking for is the one that feels good to the touch. Feel the action of the keys, how comfortably it fingers. Feel how the tone resonates within your being. The one that FEELS BEST is the one you will enjoy most. The first time I saw Yusef Lateef he played 1/2 a dozen different insruments finishing with a blues on the oboe. If you've never heard Yusef play blues on an oboe you've missed a beautiful page in the blues story. Think about this. Ornette Colman played a PLASTIC sax. Just find something that feels good and it will be right.
