Used saxophones
Most beginners start on alto and some move to tenor later. The student altos here are the Yamaha YAS-26 and YAS-280 and the Selmer AS500, with the YTS-26 and YTS-280 tenors, then the Yamaha YAS-480 and Selmer AS711 and TS711 a step up and the YAS-62 for serious players. A sax has dozens of pads, so a leaky one is the usual fault. Check that the neck, mouthpiece and ligature come with it.
