saxes
i'm most likely getting my very own tenor saxaphone for this next school year! yes very exciting, but, i was wondering about all the good types of saxes, i know selmer, bundy, and veto are really awsome brands. what are other good types? and which ones besides jupiter and yamaha shouln't i look into buying?

Well, any good sax will dent easily. Professional models are not made as hard as the student models are because it is expected that you aren't going to use them for marching or anything and will take extreme care of them...
Wait, are you getting this for marching, jazz, or concert?

Obviously, the 'J' is for Jesbo.
And the 'B', well...that's for Burnination

I say go try them out and see for yourself. If you have a saxophone teacher, take them with you (don't forget your parents, they'll be paying for it). Even the best saxophones aren't for everyone. One thing to consider, do you intend to play for a very long time, or for a short time? In other words, do you want something that'll just do the job, or do you want something you're going to use perhaps as a professional?
