Phil,
I started on a Bundy alto saxophone. It is an instrument I would not
wish on an enemy, as regards tone and intonation (and all that unimportant
stuff.)
Apparently the Bundy philosophy is something like this:
REALLY MAKE THOSE NEWCOMERS WORK HARD TO MAKE SOUNDS FIT TO PLAY IN FRONT OF
GOD AND EVERYBODY. THOSE WHO ARE STILL PLAYING LATER ARE THE ONES WHO SHOULD
HAVE STARTED; THE CULLS WERE JUST WASTING THEIR TIME.
Of course, I have a vintage Selmer alto saxophone which you could not
remove from me except surgically. Good luck on finding a cooperative
instrument!
