I just bought a saxophone!

I am super excited, was only 120$ used and came with a case and a ton of accessories.
It even is a made in France 1963 alto in fairly good condition!
The guy who I just bought it from was super chill, he even offered to give me lessons and more instructional books for free. I guess he needed the $ for a dental surgery which is why he stopped playing sax.
He plans to move back to Hawaii after the surgery and pick up playing uke.
Just wanted to share my excitement.

I need to start checking thrift stores and pawnshops, that is a nice flip though 
I looked up the model I bought and saw one in better condition going for like 5-700$ but I may need to fix this one up before it's worth that much.
Saxophone is such an awesome instrument I doubt I will sell it unless I can't learn it for shit

I have never played a reed instrument before so this will be a long journey if I even decide to keep at it...
 
Isn't she beautiful though?

Nice on the saxophone man. I wanted to play the saxophone in the fourth grade but my teacher said my hands were too small. Fuck that shit. Ended up playing cornet instead.

Thanks! You should find a cheap one if you really want to learn, its never to late! Fuck that teacher indeed.
Never heard of the cornet but it looks cool I have heard trumpet is the hardest wind instrument to learn.
Having never played a reed instrument I can safely say it is a huge adjustment from stringed instrument like guitar/ bass or piano.
Took me awhile just to get down sustaining notes half decently, made myself super lightheaded working on the mouthing too

Cool pic.
Ain't she beautiful? I don't know I know nothing about them. Right now you could call it the most beautiful instrument out there even if it's a street whore and I would have to believe you.

Here is a better pic that shows her beauty a bit more:

It has a cool floral engraving and the color and shine of the metal along with its "vintage/ tarnished/ worn" look give it some character

I think that guy didn't have money and they wouldn't let him off, so he started fucking around on his sax until they got tired of it

Congrats. Saxophones are awesome instruments. If you're just starting out, find a secluded place to practice out of earshot, because beginnning sax students sound not unlike someone strangling cats.

As to the practice spot, I have been using my room as my dog seems alright with my wailing when she's in the living room my neighbors might be annoyed tho

That can only be an incentive to get better.
A nice melody played slowly but correctly sounds better than someone trying to play faster than their ability.

It is some smooth jazz fusion and probably isn't what most of you are into but they are some amazing musicians and its some really soulful relaxing stuff.
that was actually pretty fucking cool. not really my style but they're obviously all very talented musicians and i can appreciate that.
