buying a saxophone?
Buying a saxophone..........?
Looking to spend about $3-4k AUD on a model that will last me forever, a 2nd hand Selmer, or a vintage, with a really big brassy bluesy dirty sound, something really round and raw and emotional and beautiful sounding. People are recommending I just buy a new Yamaha 62 professional model, but that's not necessarily what I want. I want something very personal, that will be with me for the rest of my life. Any advice as to what mouthpieces to use to obtain this sound and what direction I should take when choosing a saxophone model? I use Rico reeds, and prefer to only use the bottom screw on the ligature as well. Advice appreciated greatly 
) Many thanks, Fiona
I f u were going to get a yamaha i would suggest the custom Z. Its the only mass-produced custom saxophone. HAHA. But uh... i owned a Z and i wasnt happy with it. Parts started falling off after no more than 10 plays. I also found a better model for me. Its called a P. Mauriat. I think it is just what u r looking for. The sound is rounder than that of a Z. Its easy to play on also. i would suggest a Otto Link for a nice mouthpiece for the dirty bluesy sound.
Hope i was of some help
