Buying Guide Vintage Saxophones For New Users

By Essie Osborn


In todays music world, you will find different type of saxs, and they are made to add the quality of music. You can get the old ones which are used in musical pieces or single instruments. The Vintage Saxophones are mostly used in huge bands or jazz musical, and they come in wind ensembles or early woodwind singing group.

Before purchasing the sax in your home, you should consider the type of voice that you want it to produce. This is because you can get an alto or tenor one depending with your need. You can also get other different voices that they produce like the soprano and baritone which are very useful to any music.

Ideally, you have to know the gender of the person playing. In most cases, ladies choose to play alto. On the other hand, boys prefer to play tenor. One thing you have to note is the size with which they are designed. The one used by ladies require less air than those producing tenor and played by boys. The soprano producing equipment is smaller than others and easy to use.

The reed size is a vital factor to consider. As a starter, it is recommended you start with lower sizing. Bigger sizes are for people who are experienced and use the equipment often. As you continue learning to use the equipment, you can advance the reed sizes. But before you increase the size be sure to have mastered the previous ones.

When shopping, the other thing you need to look at is the component horn. The best horns are considered pricey and older. For the starters, go for the most affordable one to minimize the risks of buying another one soon after you have become an expert to play them. During the first few days, starters will not have great tones and the need to buy an expensive one is not a good idea.

You should also know if you want to purchase a new one or something that have been used before by others. In case you decide to stick with the old one, it is not the best idea since you will need extra time to get them repaired and fixed. The wisest thing to do is to get a modern sax which will be attractive and ready to be used as soon as you want to, and you will be sure that they are safe since no one has used them before.

The materials which they are made from are a major thing to consider because some will not work after some times. You should go for the ones made of brass since they are known to last for long, and they will give you value for the music you want to hear. They are also of high quality.

Buying an instrument is not the last thing you need to do. You should ensure that they are always cleaned and in good condition. This is the only way that you will be sure that they will last for long giving you the service you deserve.
