from piano to sax

Hi, I was thinking (very loosely) that I might start playing soprano saxophone. I currently play the piano, and I have kind of developed some tendonitis, but I have since changed my technique and it's getting better.

Anyway, do you use the same finger muscles when playing the saxophone as you do the piano, or would I be able to play the saxophone without feeling the usual pain I do (considering what I have would be a regular piano tendonitis)?

And is it possible to get a decent tone out of a cheap soprano? (I know most say one should start to play alto first, but say I could produce a great tone on soprano, would it be able to be a nice tone on a cheap one aswell?)

Yeah, but let's say I would start off using the exact right technique, would I feel my present tendonitis, or do you use totally different muscles when playing sax as opposed to when you play piano?
honestly, i think you're asking the wrong people. if you don't have a therapist then track one down.
