Hi - I know absolutely nothing about playing music, along with my husband. But, our children apparently have that ability. Our son is in 9th grade and has outgrown his student alto saxophone. We'd like to pass it down to his sister, she is starting music this summer, and get him a new one. Probably an intermediate, but possibly a professional. He does say he wants to study music in college, although that that could certainly change, so we'd want this to be a long lasting one. I am prepared for the cost, but am hoping to stay under $1500.
I have no idea what brands/makes/models are good ones, does anyone? Our local music shop only carries Jupiter brand and they are $2000+ at the store. I can find lots for less on the internet, but worry I am not buying a quality one. I am hoping that someone one the budget board might have some helpful info, and any suggestions to keep the cost to what we had budgeted. Thankyou!

It's like, as soon as some question pops into my head, there is magically already a thread about the exact same thing. Right down to the specific instrument, in this case!
