Probably anyone picking a saxophone and trying for the first time would be really surprised at how easy it was to make the sound with a little trial and error .
Which reed size one chooses is also important as well as which mouthpiece. We can suggest the correct reed+ mouthpiece for your saxophone according to your budget
As far as quality- beginners often think that having a more expensive Yamaha or Jupiter ( well known brand ) as opposed to a less known cheaper brand is magically going to produce a better sound .
My experience teaching, and most teachers will agree that saxophones like other instruments make the sound you are capable of making - well to a degree of 80% +-.
A good player will make a cheaper saxophone sound wonderful - depending on the complexity of the music - as the music gets more complex more expensive brands will respond to the difficulties easier of course.
But that 80% is really up to you - are you going to practice 5 days week ? Its not as much up to the saxophone as one might think. We advise players to buy the saxophone appropriate to your skill level and suggest talk to us than make any decision based on saxophone brand marketing . Brands marketing has the brands interests at heart - not yours. © Mike Irwin UTLM 1983 UNISA Music Teachers Licentiate
