I want to learn the Bari Sax, but for a beginner, who has had NO musical instrument experience (some experience with notes), how hard would it be to learn to play without learning another sax first? I know it’s 4 ft. long, and 17 lbs. How hard would it be to march with that if [...]

I have played the alto saxophone since I was in 5th grade but quit whenever I went into the 9th grade. I have recently, almost 6 years later, been trying to re-teach myself how to play it. I am fine with the regular and the high notes but when it comes to the low notes [...]
