When you are buying your first ever saxophone, you can think about many people and several online resources to get some valuable advice and suggestions. You can resort to a saxophone teacher or visit a store and ask the seller there. A teacher is perhaps the best source of advice. On the other hand, an experienced manufacturer or seller is also worthy of giving effective suggestions. But, there are certain downsides as well. Some teachers receive commission from a particular manufacturer, so they can advise or rather encourage students to buy from that seller. Sellers also can coax you to purchase the most expensive saxophone. If you are getting confused with all these, we have a solution as well.

Here is a short and useful guide for you to pay for the right saxophone.

At first, you need to decide on the right size of the saxophone for you. It can be alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, bass, soprano or baritone. For small children, an alto saxophone is the best to start with for its convenient size. As for the teen adults, tenor saxophone is the most appropriate to begin learning to play sax. It is essential to purchase a tenor saxophone gig bag for storage and protection of the instrument.

Next, it is about whether you want a brand new saxophone or a pre-owned one. A new one comes with the guarantee of manufacturer and can relieve you of any costs for frequent repairs and maintenance. A second-hand one is cheaper, but you may have to spend a lot for repairs and maintenance.
When you buy the instrument, make sure to buy the accessories as well. One of the most important accessory is the sax case or gig bag. Buy a sturdy alto or tenor saxophone gig bag.
