i play the alto sax... but i might switch to the bari or tenor sax... im not sure if i should...will i have to learn whole different notes or are they the same notes as the alto sax just different fingerings? help me im confuzzled!
Being a Tenor player myself I'd recommend becoming a Tenor. There aren't as many out there as there should be D: but of course the same is true for Bari saxes. To make things a lot simpler, all saxophones (well at least Altos, Tenors, and Baris) have the same fingerings. They just play on different octaves.

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 looked at your previous post. I play a variety of Tenors. Yamahas are pretty good but my personal favorite are the Jupiters. Their sound quality is amazing.
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.
wow I didn't know that. I don't know a lot of the history of Jupiters. My Jupiter is fairly new and it's a professional so that probably explains the quality compared to the ones you were describing.

I had friends that were in band and the football team
Do you hate football practice as much as you hate practicing the sax?

I wouldn't be surprised if a rat or some type of animal was living inside the alto while it was lost inside her room.Anyways, I play Tenor Sax and this would be my 2 and 1/2 year playing and being the 1st chair moving on to high school to attend marching band and the other bands.
