Hi,
Wish to know more about Saxaphone
Can anyone share here?
Where to buy a cheap saxaphone in KL/PJ?
What type or Sax suit for beginner?
What is the standard price for each type of sax?

i saw some in beatspot midvalley...
go check out for it..

beatspot selling yamaha beginner models at the range of 4k and above.. Most likely indonesian made if the model is 275 or 2XX, quality is good, but abit steep for a beginner model..

Doremi sells the cheapest alto at 1.3k, taiwan made, but i dont know much about its quality.. but at this price, i wouldnt expect too much, probably comes with leaks and requires a set-up to be fully playable, or worst still, it cant be fixed properly.. Unless u know someone who can test it for u.. i would go against buying this..

My fren sells another taiwan brand call Century, 3.5k, quality is on par with yamaha if not better, on the beginner model range that is...

Second-hands, can pm me..

Beginner would normally start with an alto, though there is no rules saying u cant start with a tenor or soprano..

A comfortable price range for a new one would go about 3k.. secondhand obviously much cheaper, but u ll need to know wat to watch out for, like leaks, serious dents, faulty keywork etc..

Oh, thanks for your infor...
May i know where is Doremi?
And what is the major different between
Alto, soprano and tenor ?
Thanks

For beginner, not worth buying new Sax. So damn mahal nowadays!

Doremi is located at jalan ipoh, check the sticky to find out the exact location.. ;-)

Alto, soprano and tenor refers to the range of notes that a saxophone is able to produce, just like vocal, there is alto, soprano and tenors..

Alto is easier to blow because its shorter and requires less breath, the embouchure isnt too tight, while tenor has a looser embouchure, but requires more breath due to its length and size, soprano is smaller, looks like a brass clarinet, although does not requires much breath, it requires more pressure on your lips and diaphragm.

Hope tht helps..

almost the end of jalan ipoh wanted to go chow kiat thr..
big shop..
