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..
