Saxophone/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer any questions you might have about playing the saxophone. I cannot answer questions related to the value of saxophones. I will just tell you to go to a music store and get it appraised. Determining the value of a Saxophone depends on the sound, condition, and many other factors, and I cannot just venture a guess about how much it is worth.
Experience in the area
Ive been a professional saxophone player for many years. I have been playing around 25 years. I play Alto primarily, but also play Tenor, Baritone, and Soprano on a regular basis.
Education/Credentials
I have been teaching privately since I was in High School.
