Hi T.

So... you are ready for a professional saxophone... :)) You are on the right path looking into the Yamaha altos... The one that is currently considered the 'best' would be the 82Z or Custom Z Alto. Below is a review for you to read and decide for yourself if it is definately for you.

Thanks for reading.

The Yamaha YAS23 alto saxophone features a clear durable baked-on epoxy lacquer finish. Nickel plated power-forged keys provide excellent durability while the refined tone hole dimensions and placement provide superior intonation. Is it good enough for a first year of band?

Yamaha's are great horns, especially the YAS23 for beginners. I had one from 6th grade all the way until the end of my sophomore year of high school. It's a very sturdy horn and it lasts. Someone a couple posts ago told you that if you begin on a Yamaha you'll never be able to play anything else....sorry but that's bull**it. All I have ever owned are Yamaha's and just a month ago I purchased a Selmer Serie III black laquer soprano. The transition wasn't difficult at all, I just had to work on voicing for a couple weeks since corks on Selmers are shorter, and therefore require a different oral cavity to play them. I say go for the YAS23 for a great student model horn. Of course there are other makes out there....Selmer and Yamaha being at the top right now. I would suggest going down to your local music store and trying out a 23 just to make sure you like the tone and quality. It's good to give yourself options, so try out a couple different brands they suggest. Good luck!

im looking to buy my first tenor saxophone. im just beginning. also how good is the case that comes with it, i need one that will fit it but that is strong enough to be able to take a good battering when it gets taken to school. what else will i need, does it come with ligature, reed, cap , strap etc.?

I am a professional woodwind player, certified teacher, and competition judge in NY since 1971. You CANNOT go wrong with Yamaha. Have your own teacher advise you about the mouthpiece, ligature, reeds - etc. - that is personal to each player. As for the strap - I seriously advise a sax HARNESS - some wise guys call it a sax bra (duh . . ) - it puts the weight of the horn on your BACK, like bookbag straps, instead of on your neck. There are also padded straps, gel straps, etc. - but this harness is far and away the most ergonomic, especially for a younger or smaller person - this is a BIG horn! A guy that teachers with me used to have the BASS sax summer gig at Disney - OUCH!!!

Good luck with learning the sax - I hope you get a GREAT private teacher - its makes ALL the difference!

I need to get some Bari sax music so I can practice.
I'd like jazz or well known pieces.
Thanks.

i just switched to the bari sax after 7 years of playing the alto, and i cant get the low notes below the middle C. If i do manage it, it wavers in tone until it jumps up an octave, i cant get it it stay low without jumping. If anyone has any tips on playing a slow-winded instrument like the bari after switching from the faster alto, or a video link, i'd appreciate the help, because i really have no idea how to play the bari right.

If you're having difficulty getting low notes, try taking in a LOT more of the mouthpiece and blow with a really relaxed embouchure. This will allow the reed to vibrate without your alto embouchure having to much affect on it. I'm pretty sure you'll get it to work if you do this. Once you get the sound and are used to the sound of the low notes, back off a little to get some quality in the sound and reduce some of the honkiness.

I need to know for a solo I'm doing. Does it have to do with the emochure, the tounge? Or is it something totally different?

There are multiple ways to perform vibrato. One is, as someone said to move your jaw slightly. Also, you can use your tongue, or you can also use your throat. You just have to experiment to see which method works best for you. Baritone Sax will be a little tougher because it's such a big horn, and takes a lot of air to fill it up.

There is nothing wrong with not using vibrato. It's better not to use it that to try to do it when you really don't know how. Use your ears and don't use the vibrato unless the music calls for it.
