Beginners... this is your startpoint

Even in the unlike case that you've never even hold a sax in your hands and wants to learn to play, this book will guide you from scratch. It deals with every aspect of the instrument, from its history to a synopsis of each of todays renowned brands. You will learn the nuts and bolts in choosing a new or used instrument, how to care and mantain it and which accessories to pick. Advice: it does not cover musical issues, just the very basic fingering, so you'll need some other book also if you want to learn tunes.
Perfect book for beginners

If you're starting out on saxophone, this book is an absolute gem. A pocket guide crammed full of very interesting and highly relevant stuff - you'd take weeks on the internet to find all this information out. And you'll find that as you develop as a musician, and want to get more out of your instrument, you'll refer to it again and again.
Fantastic!

A fantastic reference that answers most of a newbie's questions in 116 short, easily read pages! I just bought an old Martin Indiana and was lucky I had an honest dealer--she's a beaut of a horn--but had I known about and read this book before buying, I would have been a much savvier buyer. This book certainly pays for itself in helping you avoid the pitfalls that lack of experience harbors.For those of you who have a horn already, this is a wonderful reference with advice on reeds/mouthpieces/care of the instrument/history of the sax and there's even a chapter on sax resources such as magazine/internet sources. This is a remarkably quick and easy read yet has a good amount of detail. A great value.
