LA Sax Vs YamahaI’m in the market of purchasing my very first sax. I have 6 years of experience playing the bari (YBS-52) and 2 years playing the alto prior to stepping up to the big dog. It’s been quite some time since I’ve picked up a sax. I love the bari, but unfortunately cannot afford to spend 5k plus on an instrument. I am looking at purchasing a tenor. The LA Sax has caught my eye for its reasonable price in intermediate and professional models. However, I cannot find any local dealers that sell them or have really heard anything about LA Sax. This seems like a red flag to me. I have $1,200 saved and would like to buy new. I want something that sounds great while not breaking the bank. I don’t want a student model, something cheap, or to waste my money. I do not have the luxury of playing the LA Sax before purchasing it. My question is, has anyone played an LA sax and are they a decent instrument? I am looking at their series 1 tenors. All I know is Yamaha and they’re a great instrument. They’re also expensive and it would take me much longer to step into a YTS-62 or 82 series which would be more than double in price. All information is helpful.
Thanks |
