I might add here that at this stage i was beginning to think that this instrument must be the most cantankerous piece of metal devised by mankind to torment his fellows ever made. Now armed with different accessories for my existing sax i started reading up on all aspects of reeds, mouth pieces ,and ligatures. one thing that i did notice was that a great amount of improvement could be made with my humble prelude -just be changing the mouthpiece and reed combination then i experimented with different mouthpieces and crooks ,the result was that i was confused by the variety of tonal qualities. The first move was to visit the local- sax co- shop and have a look at all available and get guidance.they allowed me to try out a couple of quality saxes -such as the Yamaha yts62 the Yanigasawa 901 and various SELMER Paris models and more. being of a nearing retirement age ,i decided that if i was going to upgrade to the proverbial "pro-horn" - now is the time while still within my financial reach, so my adventure began As a comparative beginner i started out on a CONN SELMER prelude ts710 a very good beginners- plus, sax.
