Which alto sax is better?
Hey,
I am currently a freshman in high school right now and i have been playing the saxophone for almost five years. Since i started out on a beginner horn I thought it was about time to get a step up instrument. I recently tried out two intermediate - proffesional horns. Can you please give your opinion on the two horns and which one i should buy? Thanks for all your help!
The two choices are the Selmer Liberty or the Yamaha Allegro.
if you plan to study music in college, don't waste money on an intermediate horn, go for a proffesional model.
my favorite is the yamaha-62. the yamaha custom is good too, but i find the key work to be a bit chunky. yamahas are notoriously consistant and sturdy. these horns can take a hit and any repair man would be willing to work on it. (as opposed to a cheap chinese horn, some are so shoddy that repairmen won't touch them)
selmers are good too. if you want a pro model, the series III is a good standard. when it comes to selmer, one horn can sound much different from another. it is possible to get a bad selmer. when they're good, they're REALLY GOOD! when they're bad, its usually not to difficult to have it adjusted.
yanigisawa is a brand that is less popular, but just as good as yamaha and selmer.
keilworth saxes are good too, the have a very dark tone in general. so if you like a really dark warm sound (which is good if you play jazz) then this should be fine.
jean baptist is ok. they can sound a bit dull if you get the one's with heavy laquer (when they paint the sax different colors like black or hot pink or something rediculous like that)
hope this helps.
my best advice to you is to try before you buy.
