      Welcome and congrats on your journey of starting the saxophone. There’s lots of work ahead but if you are like us here, its worth the work put in. Johnny has many free videos to get you started. If you haven’t already, check out his book for getting started. It should have everything you need to get you off to a strong fundamental start!! Enjoy!!

        Thanks jake, i did play keyboard briefly about 30 years ago so i do have a little bit of an edge, I guess.
        I just hope that my age….50….. is not a hinderance.
        I just love the sound , and especially the style that Johnny has developed. Hope i can sound half that good someday.

        ok, back to practicing 🙂

          Hey there, ya that horn will be fine for you. See how it goes and what you should pay more attention to over the next little bit is your mouthpiece and reeds. These 2 things can be changed and upgraded if necessary for very little money….now that you have a sax to get started. If your saxophone is in good working condition you can go far with it by working on your technique and finding the right reeds and mouthpiece.

            I will for sure pick up another mouthpiece. Thanks for the tips Johnny.
