my advice if you want to actually get to use your alto -join a comunity band and just show up with it like i did. i didnt ask -i just showed up and said i was going to play it and give me what music you have. it turned out great and my first year went fantastic and i had a ball! parts were far better than expected and some a challange. i started with a bundy -then quickly bought a noblet really cheap on ebay and then splurged and bought a really mint selmer ser9 just overhauled for 2000$. what a great horn but not quite the buffet prestiege -which is peerless in my book. playing on a peg makes a HUGE difference and is worth what it cost to get installed. using legere reeds you will get the volume you need to be heard. make sure your set up allows a little + or _ at a440. this isnt a given on some instruments/mpc combo. best mpcs bets are the hite, vandoreen b44 and my fav selmer c*
