Very nice

@MegaGuitarmaster101 Also, I would DEFINITELY SUGGEST taking the mouthpiece that comes with horn, and throwing it back into the case when you get it. They are cheap mouthpieces, and it will make a huge difference in tone just by changing that out to a hard rubber, or different plastic one. Some fairly reasonable mouthpieces can be found online, and its all a matter of price and style that you want to play. I suggest starting out with a Runyon Mouthpiece as the are reasonable/offer good options

@MegaGuitarmaster101 Well, it depends on how much you really want to spend. Some rental saxophones are fairly descent for the intermediate player which. I suggest to stay on that for a while, and save up for a nice professional horn once your tone is under wraps. I play an LA Sax horn which are going for a fairly good price used right now. But if you have the money to spend, go with either Selmer (Paris), or Yanigasawa horns. Yamaha are good, too, but I wouldn't buy one over the previous two.
That was beautiful !
I love the alto sax , i'm playing Summertime now but I only play the beginning , where did you get the whole song from?

@SDayss95 Thanks! I had to play bits and pieces of what you heard as an audition in High School for the Jazz Allstate Band. Of course I never play anythign straight, so I was really embellishing it in parts, and then of course soloing with nothing the 3rd time through :) Again Thanks and Happy Playing :)

Amazing, amazing. I was a student of saxophone and I was forced to stop; it really remains in my heart and you are a really great player: your sax has an original tone which I do like a lot and I don't think it's easy at all.
Salutes.

@MegaGuitarmaster101 In Conclusion (LMAO), Saxophones are probably the only thing on the planet that usually the higher price does mean its a better horn. Mouthpieces are hard to get right, but once you get one you like, it will make playing alot easier. PM me if you need any more help- Good Luck and Happy Playing! :)
