I have the same questions as Chris about buying a saxophone, so if anyone
has any info what models play well, but also have lower prices, I would also
appreciate it. I don't want to buy a student-line alto, but a high-priced
professional horn isn't real necessary either. Somewhere in the middle

Thanks,
