    It’s been about a month since I started learning the sax on an alto I borrowed from a friend and I’ve been really enjoying it.

    After a rough first few days making some horrible sounds I can now play a bunch of two octave scales and a couple of jazz standard heads fairly consistently, though I’m sure my tone could use a lot of work.

    I’m giving the alto back soon and found a good deal on this student tenor sax that just arrived this morning. Excited to try it out!

        @JamesAshburnerCBR I’ve played piano at the Tuesday Smiths jam before and had a lot of fun but I suspect it’s going to be many more months before I’m up to taking this to a jam. Would like to eventually though.

          @mdreid We have a fine, diverse bunch of sax players here now. You’ll be warmly welcomed in your new incarnation, I’m sure.

            Had a quick play of it over lunch and it sounds so good! It is also way easier to play than the alto I borrowed (which I suspect wasn’t the world’s best maintained sax).
