Model of sax? Yamaha doesn't help too much.

Talking about my Tenor, has anyone had any experiences with it? Any thing to avoid or do?

Actually, that advice is truer than you might think.
 Yamaha saxes are notorious for having well-crafted, but fragile necks. I have a friend who owns a Yamaha Custom and is going on his third neck.  He's actually using a Selmer neck right now, and he loves it to .-------------------- -Jest Mi 2 Sense

Well, I can probably play every sax, considering they all have the same gingerings/ embouchure.

But CMel,
If you've never played a sopranino, or tubax, or soprillo, then you can't play it WELL without experience -------------------- JP

QUOTE Are Selmer necks more durable? and do they sound better? Honestly it's really just the way you like your tone, I wouldn't say they sound any better or worse, and to be honest, you really shouldn't worry yourself with finding the perfect neck right now. Focus on the reed/mpc/ligature combinations, becuase those will affect your tone more, and are honestly cheaper than shopping for necks. -------------------- -Jest Mi 2 Sense
