Been playing for about a year and a half on a YAS-23 student sax but need to return in now and would like to purchase a saxophone. Have been looking in local classifieds and come across the following:
$600 -Severin Alto Sax purchased about 13 years ago for $1,295.
It's in good condition (no dings or dents) and pads and cork seem to be working nicely - no sticking or cracking. Hasn't been played in about 10 years - has only seen 2-3 years use.
$1000-
Selmer AS300 Alto Saxophone for sale.
Excellent condition!! Sounds amazing!!
Just had it refurbished, cleaned, cork and all key pads have been replaced.
$400- Brazilian eagle brand alto saxophone in great condition. I bought it two years ago when I went to brazil. Played it for about six months. Well taken care, feels like new! Beautiful sound!
$600- Selling a Mint Condition Amati Kraslice alto saxophone aas 32. Been played only twice!!! Keys and pad are Mint!! Asking $600, will include hardshell case, neck strap, mouth piece, brand new cleaning cloth and cork grease.
Based on simply prices and brief descriptions regarding make and model, do any of these stand out as appropriate for a beginner/intermediate player looking to upgrade?
If not, any suggestions on where to buy?
thanks
