What should I look at?

I am 12 years old and want to purchase a saxaphone. I have been playing in school for about two years now. Music and Arts Center is advertising a Liberty Alto Sax by Selmer on sale for $2,000. Is this a brand to consider? Is this a good price? They also advertise a Yamaha Alto Sax Allegro for $1,800.

    What are you playing now? The keywork can be slightly different on different brands (and even different models within a brand), and it is easier to stick with what you know. Selmer and Yamaha are both good brands, so I would suggest trying them both out and seeing which you prefer.
