It seems in the sax community that experienced players suggest that noobs buy the best sax that they can reasonably afford - even pro horns. But then when it comes to mouthpieces, new players are steered away from buying really high end mouthpieces.
Is this fair? Why not buy the best sax and the highest quality mouthpiece that you can when you're starting out? In some ways having an excellent high end mouthpiece on a cheaper horn would be better than a cheap mouthpiece on a high end horn, wouldn't it?
