I get offered these sorts of horns to buy almost every day, and I have to be the one to break the difficult news that the sax they rented for three years for $48 a month from the local music store is basically a worthless on the used market. Among student saxophones, it’s common to hear of folks paying $1200-1600 for a beginner sax that is then practically worthless when they go to re-sell it. The other consideration in buying a student sax is resale value. ![]() So if you want yourself or your child to stick with saxophone, it’s worth buying one that will actually play well and hold up well over time. It almost makes me think that some of the folks who started on junky horns probably gave up music because their horns were so disappointing to play. ![]() It is what almost everybody my age started out on, if they stuck with saxophone. The Yamaha YAS-23 is the best student alto saxophone ever made ever. ![]() Are you shopping for a saxophone for a student for school band? This is the one you should get.
