First of all, this is my first post, and I'm very grateful for this forum for sax help.
So I've been playing sax for about 5 years now, and I'm getting very serious about playing, and digging deep into music and performance. About 2.5 years ago I purchased my first sax; the YAS-475. I have enjoyed it very much with my Berg Larson 95/0, and Java red 2.5 reeds, as I mainly enjoy modern jazz.
Recently, I've found a YAS-875 (original) in beautiful condition for a great price! I'm wondering if I should go and give it a play.
Now I've read that the 875 is more of a classical horn, And I'd want a horn that's good for modern music.
Can anyone help me with this? Is this a horn I should seriously look into? Will it be a dramatic upgrade from the 475, or could my current horn be suitable for life?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
