Re: Need Help
Hi Tony,
Well...lotta stuff to cover.
Should you start on Alto or Tenor? I'd say its up to you. Alto might be a little easier as it requires a little less wind, and you already have one.
Bundy's are pretty good horns, but you're not likely to get your money out of the repairs if you decide to upgrade one day.
ie: $400-$500 in the Bundy, you might get $250 out (total guess....so many variables)
comapred to
$400 into a "new" student level that you care for meticulously and could maybe sell for $300 down the line. (and the case doesn't stink, and it "plays" like a new, properly setup, horn....much less hassle)
Tough call...depends on brand, condition, luck of the marketplace.
In any case you DEFINETLY want to start lessons on a horn that plays easily and is in good repair.
Tooth marks on the mouthpiece is nothing more than annoying. If it bugs you, buy a new one. Selmer C* is one choice.
Good luck.
