My daughter is 10, she is looking at learning the alto saxophone. The local music stores have Yamaha alto-saxes (which I assume would be good student quality) for around $1300 (Australian dollars). They have other brands on special in-store for around $1000.
On ebay, I see new saxophones for around $250. That's a huge price drop. My instinct tells me to steer clear of that price range. But I know nothing of saxophones.
Any advice from Saxophone players about a first instrument for a 10 year old?
Many thanks.
