Boosey and Hawkes 400 Tenor Sax

Just got on eBay, right bargain at 158quid, might need to be repadded but otherwise fine. I know 400 isn't one of their higher models but i was wondering if anyone had/has one.

Anyone know how easy they are to learn on/play

also should i start with a 2.5 reed then work out whether i want a softer or harder set?

i managed to get decent sound out of a friend's bari the other day and i know how the notes work so i'm really chuffed to finally get my own sax =]

hahah boosey. drunken sax.
sorry its late, im bored.

I'd start with 1.5's or 2's, because 2.5's will be too hard (it's different to using a 2.5 on a bari)

Learn One Step Beyond first, it's dead easy to work out, and in like a day you'll be able to play the solo, and feel like the king of sax.

This is my guarantee!

yeah that was my plan hehe and i'll get a set of 1.5s probably


it's coming on tuesday, exciteddddd

I'm thinking of called it Heather, after Heather Hannoura the artist who designed a lot of the Alkaline Trio logos and stuff

anyone name their instruments except my foolish friend with barry the bari sax who tried to name my tbone trever?

I don't know anyone who names instruments but I do know that you should name your trombone Trevor.
