Inucoli Those black ones are gorgeous! My friend has a black bari and it's probably the coolest thing I've ever seen
I know! I would love to have one...but we only finished paying off my current sax a year or two ago...and my parents would want to know why I want another.

I play alto and tenor....er...well...i did..i transfered schools like 2 weeks ago and had to give up tenor because i was borrowing it but i play alto now.. I think tenors more fun tho because its more work instead but i love my alto...i like play kinda fast on it or my fastest because i feel all good about my self when im done...i was gonna take drums but like 4 people play drums in my naighborhood so i could just learn from them anytime
Im a total band nerd i play whenever i can and i have been since i was 7! o yeah.....[[Im 13 by the way]]

I play Alto, Tenor and Bari. I've tried to play Soprano but it was soooo hard to blow that I just went back to my bari. biggrin I have an alto now but I actually like the bari the best. When I was in high school I was in Matching, Jazz and Concert band. I played bari in all three, tenor in all three and alto in concert and jazz. I was section leader for the Low Wind section in marching band for the last two years. Low wind included woodwinds and low brass.
These are the saxophones that I would LOVE to own:
Alto's

I'm a proud Tenor player. I was very surprised to see how many other female Tenors there were here in the Band Nerd Guild. That makes me so happy! Where I live I'm pretty much the only girl Tenor player cry it gets a little lonely.
I switched over from Alto back in middle school when our BD decided we needed one. The rest of the section volunteered me and I've loved it ever since! I used to own two tenors (school rental and my father's old one) and an alto(which really was mine), but we sold the alto when I stopped playing it. Now I get to see it everyday, 'cause the new owner plays it at school. 4laugh
So now I have THREE tenors! xD You just can't have enough. I have the one I rented at school, I love it even though it's a piece of junk, my dad's old tenor (it's over 50 years old O.O), and my personal nice shiny one for concerts eek (when I say shiny I really mean it) I named it Sterling biggrin Yes I named my tenor, so what? My dad's Tenor is Theodore.

Terra of the Lilies Inucoli Those black ones are gorgeous! My friend has a black bari and it's probably the coolest thing I've ever seen
I know! I would love to have one...but we only finished paying off my current sax a year or two ago...and my parents would want to know why I want another.

Hmmm i hope your talking about the higher end Jupiters. The old used ones are made from flimsy material and break easily i never cared for them much. The newer models arent so bad since they moved the Jupiter plant and started to use better materials.
