I recently bought a YAS-52 sax from the Woodwind (a mail-order company
introduced to me by someone on this list... I can't remember exactly who,
but my heartfelt thanks go out to them). When I was shopping for
saxophones at local music stores, a repairman mentioned that often
instruments bought mail-order (or even locally) need adjustment even if
they are new. Has anyone had any experience with this? I haven't
noticed anything specifically wrong with it, but sometimes it seems like
it could blow a little more freely. I guess my specific question is, is
a new-sax checkup usually a good investment even if nothing seems to be
wrong?

Thanks for any input,

David Brewer
