Re: Milwaukee 720 Black Nickel & Gold Alto Saxophone
I don't think there is a better alto to start a kid out on than a later6M. They're built rock solid, have a great sound, good intonation and a smooth reliable action. A 6M would take him through college. I started out playing a 10M tenor in 6th grade. The same one I play now.
Like sax_maniac said, the best bet is to shop locally and buy from a dealer who can set the horn up properly and offer a guarantee. I've seen some really good buys on ebay, but you really have to be careful and ask questions. Even still, if you buy on ebay, plan on taking the horn to a dealer to have it inspected and adjusted. You can almost be certain that the horn will need some adjustment.
Firk, I haven't had a chance to check back on the neck yet, but I will call my tech tomorrow and see if he's located a neck. He was quite sure that he had one. He has a lot of old parts. Not hatin' on Millwaukee. I was there a couple years ago, and had a great time!
