Anyone into instruments ? Big Query inside.

I played for 7 years. Won't need to spend a grand.

Trevor James 'The Horn' is a good bet for a starting sax.

Renting could be a good option to get into it.
Would recommend getting a teacher for the first 6 months at least, otherwise you will get into terrible habits that you'll not be able to break for years.


EDIT: Was just thinking, your stubborn persona probably won't end well learning an instrument like this out of childhood. You can't say 'I find it easier/more efficient to do X than Y' because that's not how playing the Sax works.
You won't be able to use a muffler for a fair while, as it changes the way you hear your playing, and you won't learn as well.

Pete, what brand is your wife's sax? I've been thinking of getting back into it for a while.

Sonata. We bought it for my daughter when she was at school. She moved schools and gave up on the lessons.

It's this one or very close.

If we speak about instruments - I have been playing saxophone for several years. Think that it's amazing musical unstrument, and maybe someone of you think about buing saxophone. So here is the several options: https://windplays.com/selecting-a-soprano-saxophone/

More to the point did this ever happen or was it all just hot air?

This is reminding me of an 'Ill Wind'

"I once had whim and I had to obey it to buy a french horn
from a second hand shop,
I polished it up and started to play it
In spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop."

How did you crash a saxophone?

[FretGrinder]

[anthony_r6]

[M.C]

What he did with Pete's saxophone should stay between them.

[TheSmiler]

It's regarding the crash in November believed to be damage in the cartilage on the wrist so can't lift anything over 6kg by order of the doctor. Hence no more saxophone or motorbike for a while.
