 strategy for an alto?
Author: Djudy

I want to get into playing the alto because I think it has a lot of 'blend' potential in group playing and also might be interesting for jazz arrangements backing a soprano Bb, but it is such a rare instrument that I've yet to get my hands on one to even try it. I have the possibility to purchase a reasonably priced old Selmer alto now. My other option is to order a new one and wait 6 months and pay the price of a good used car (or that nifty new electric Citroen). The few other used instruments I've seen are too far away to test and too expensive to take the risk. Is buying the old Selmer as a spring-board still a bad idea or might it work to get me going? Thanks for your advice !
