Hi sifus. I know this is a dumb question, but, I started the sax instrument quite late, at form 5. At that time, my dad bought me the china sax for rm1.5k. And, I've been practising off and on, and at one time didnt hold my sax for a year. Anyways, my question is, should I stick to that sax, or should I get a selmer as500 or yamaha y500?

better to continue to hone your techique first. a Better Sax does not mean you will be a better Player. It starts with the basics first.

ahh ok. btw, could you recommend some great exercising tips to strengthen my embouchure and improve tone quality?

This is my sax routine daily. Spend around 2-3 hours daily (though I feel is still so little).

1. Warm up with long tones, normally the first octave(s) of F, E and D.
2. After warm up, do about 5-6 major scales by slurring.
3. Then, each scales I do like long notes on each notes, till the 3rd octave, up and down.
4. After that, I'd do tonguing.
5. Then, arpeggios.
6. And end again with long notes.

Any other method of practice that would actually improve my tone?
