The saxophone is an enchanting instrument and many people who first hear it’s mellifluous tones are captivated by the sound of a well played saxophone and immediately want to learn to play it.
But the saxophone is not an easy instrument to learn. In fact it is one of the hardest instruments to master and especially for the young, often more than a little commitment is needed to conquer this Master of Instruments.
Often children will first hear the saxophone on the Simpsons as Lisa tries to command this elusive of instruments. And so many kids start wanting to play just from watching this program. And so starts the quest- where to buy one how much will it cost? This article focuses on these issues and will provide answers to both.
But as all parents know, a child attention can stray so quickly, and this week’s passion could be replaced in a heartbeat, so why go spending several hundred dollars on a saxophone if it is going to spend a huge amount of time neglected in some closet?
So with this and so many other situations with children, the answer may lie in getting a second hand or at least discount instrument to start off with and you can find these for as little as $50. Then after a few lessons you can decide the next step.
As far as finding a used or discount saxophone, the choices are plentiful. First there is the option to check on local pawn shops as you will be able to see, touch and try out the instrument.
To find the biggest selections, you can do a search either on Google or eBay (which is, after all, the world’s global pawn shop) but then you are doing things remotely and have to have a little more faith in what you are buying.
At least with either of these methods, you are saving yourself a huge investment in what could be a short lived endeavor. And then you can take your time in deciding if you have a virtuoso, worthy of large investment into the finer realms of saxophones.
But if it turns out to become more, and the joy of playing the sax becomes a lifelong habit, then there are few things to rival the sound of a well played tenor saxophone, whether it be played on its own or in an ensemble accompanied by other alto saxophones or instruments.
