Hello,
I have recently picked up my alto from 25 years ago and have been having a blast playing again. I was pretty decent for a little kid, but ultimately I am still a beginner.
I've only ever played my bundy II alto, but keep getting the nagging feeling I want a tenor. I rented one and it was awesome.
So I'm here to ask some opinions on the Selmer 44 nickle plated VS a Phil Barone antique bronze classic.
There's a local selmer 44 here for sale at an asking price of 2k. That seems like a pretty decent deal to me.....? as most of the new ones are closer to 3300. It looks like it's in great shape.
I convinced myself I was going to go play the selmer on Sunday, love it, and buy it.
Then I saw an antique bronze laquer and thought how awesome that finish looks! So that led me to the phil barone
I know most of this probably boils down to personal opinion, but there are so many options and I know nothing. And at my skill level, they will probably both be very similar to me
Thanks for any opinions or advice you may have!
