Saint-Saens Nappy Thanks!!
I'm terrible at low notes. Amazing playing them on the bari, but it's difficult for me to go lower than a D on alto. Mostly because the music is usually in some low dynamic level. I'm hoping that a non-student-model-saxophone will help with that a little bit. I have an..."advanced" model I guess. Or professional, I can't remember. It's a Yamaha YAS 62-II.
I'm actually looking to get something of that sort this summer. smile

I'm actually looking to get something of that sort this summer. smile I've had it for a year, and I really like it. The...low B pinky key is a little bit bent near the roller thing, but that was my fault. I really don't know how that happened. sweatdrop It has a couple of dents in it, but it plays well. It's grown on me. heart

only depends on where the dents are. If they're minor and just on the surface of the general bell then nothing big should happen. if it's near a sound hole or on a major part of the keys making then misalign then you got a problem.

Nappy Okay. Apparantly I'm looking at this saxophone. YAS-82Z. Anyone know anything about it? The Z models are awsome horns, great responce and tone quality. They're backed by alot of great jazz artists as well. I know alot of guys who have been playing on Selmer Mark VI's and decided to switch to the Yamaha Custom Z because it held out pretty well. My sax teacher even plays his new one over his old Mark VI.
