Entry level questionGood day - I am new to the saxophone and would like to ask a few questions. I am 49 and hope to start saxophone lessons. This is something I have wanted to do since I was a kid and I now have time to practice. I do have a little music background so I am excited to get started. I plan on renting first before buying and I am going to find an instructor. I hope to start on a tenor sax - I love the sound of a tenor. I do have a history of mild lung disease so my question is about the amount of air needed with a tenor. I realize its a larger instrument when compared to an alto but I also think with a larger instrument there is more air needed but less pressure needed. My lung disease is relatively in check. I am also a cyclists and I can manage 30-40 miles on a bicycle. Is a tenor reasonable as an entry-level sax for an adult and for someone with mild lung disease? |
