I'm looking to buy a saxophone and probably a Selmer signature or Supreme, and sometimes when I look at YouTube reviews I see some people criticizing Selmer for poor quality control. Is it really getting that bad, and if so is there a chance I can get a bad horn when I buy from a retailer like sweetwater?
Hi everyone, I'm looking for a forever horn and I want to get a supreme but I'm having a difficult time between a $9,000+ horn and a horn that's $6,000+, so I wanted to ask everyone if the YAS-875EXII is as good as the supreme and can it be used for jazz (I'm assuming it is as long as you throw a jazz mouthpiece on it).
Anything helpful is appreciated
I'm buying a yanagisawa AWO1, and I'm going to need a classical mouthpiece. I'm probably going to buy two, but how do these differ? From the researching I've done it seems like the S80 C* and Concept are very similar.
I'm going to buy a sax this summer and I want some advice on how these two are different from eachother and what do some people prefer about the other and why.
I am looking to buy an alto and I'm between the awo1 and yas-62 (I did look at the axos and it just seems like it's lower quality than the other two), but I want to try them, and I also want to buy from Sweetwater for the 48 month financing and I'd feel bad going to a music store and asking to try an instrument knowing I won't buy from them. I'm set on the 48 month financing because I'm about to be 17 and I am applying to jobs to buy this (if you guys want to drop advice on filling out applications and interviews I would GREATLY appreciate that).
Overall I want advice between those saxes, job application/interview, and anything that would help me avoid the guilt of trying an instrument knowing I won't buy it.
All helpful comments are appreciated!
