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 you are fairly weak?
Or Do you have any tips for a beginner?

I’ve been playing clarinet for years, and now I’m playing in my university concert band and wind ensemble… technically I’m pretty good, but I have some tone problems. I have a brand new (well, it’s a couple years old now, but it was new when I got it) wooden Selmer clarinet, but when I bought it, they gave me back my old, beginners mouthpiece. I was thinking that buying a new one would be good (especially now that I’m doing wind ensemble!) and might help improve my tone… what would you suggest? Any help at all is appreciated, I really have no idea where to start.

Thanks!

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 after the low D i cant go any lower they sound too high. Any suggestions on what to do?

I want to take up saxophone but my budget doesn’t quite allow me to get a good one to start with. There are some really good deals on craigslist but I’m a little hesitant buying an instrument that you put your mouth on from a stranger… I’m thinking that I would just have to change the mouthpiece though, correct me if I’m wrong. Anyway, please tell me what you guys think. Thanks
