I would also recommend the Yamaha line. The Bundy won't go far.
I have two fantastic Yamaha pro level saxes and have had many students start
on the beginner line. These are all far superior to the Bundy. The 52 is
almost a pro horn and the 62 is for certain. Even the 26 and 36 are far
superior to the Bundy.
