Hi all,
is there a good forum about sax that you would reccomend?
It's for a friend who's looking at starting his journey in the sax's world and is trying to get a feeling around gear and other stuff.
By the way, if you think we should suggest him a brand / model (he's still undecided between alto and tenor sax), just let me know and I'll pass the advice on.
Thank you !
Paolo

It'll be a be a nice challenge: my friend learning sax, me learning DB (hopefully..)

It's the one almost everyone starts on and it's pretty easy to move to any other sax from it. I started on a Yamaha YAS-23, and while not the nicest saxes in the world, you can get them fairly cheap (for a sax) used and they do the job.

Alto saxes sound too smooth for my taste.
