Does anyone know about some of the supposedly low-end brands of horns
sold in some of the bigger music stores? I suppose $399 is some kind
of bargain for a new soprano sax, but sometimes something is TOO
cheap, especially when it calls itself "Jean Baptiste." I just talked
to someone on the phone, a dealer who calls himself Joe Sax, and he
said whether it's Baptiste or Winston it's basically the same horn,
made in Taiwan from inferior materials and not worth it even as a
student or doubling instrument. For the same price he has used
Yamahas and Bundys.
