Alright, sorry for a post but I need an answer. I've been looking at Yamaha alto saxophones for classical playing (as some of you know already) and I'm planning to test out, when I go to the store, all of their 62II's, 875's, and 875EX's.
But,
One saxophone that keeps turning up is the Yanagisawa A992. I feel like I should give it a shot. Especially because it isn't much more expansive than the 875EX, which is as high as I'll go.
The catch? I don't know anything about this brand, horn, or anything. I just read a pretty interested "Title Fight" (compliments of Saxoholic) and now kinda want to give it a fair shot.
First of all,
Is it good for classical? Do legit players play it?? I really know nothing about it, and when I do go to test all of the horns out it will probably be a "last resort" due to my ignorance with respect to the horn, and the fact that it is the most expensive.
Am I'm safe looking at this horn? Or should I stay away due to my lack of experience with the brand and such.
Thank you!!
