Hi,

Recently I have taken up an interest to play the Tenor or Alto Sax and/or the Clarinet.

It has been increasingly interesting for me since learning about my Grandfather and his life spent playing in bands and his own band during the 'Big Band' Era. I have loved 'Big Band' music for years and for me to just learn these things; it has softened my heart to do more...especially in memory of my Grandfather.

I am a learner at this point and need some help looking for a Tenor Sax and Clarinet.

I have been looking at Selmer's, Yamaha, Venus and other makes; mainly on Ebay.

What is a good all around instrument that I should choose.

im serious about doing this for me and in memory of my Grandfather.

Hi, Chopped50ford, and welcome.

This online forum is focused on the Bose L1 amplification products. While there may be some folks here who might advise you regarding clarinets and sax's, the primary interest of this online forum is how the L1 can help folks "make music better" by using the L1 family of products.

Hopefully someone can come along to guide you toward a forum which may be better equipped to help you with your wind-instrument purchase.

If, once you have one, you have an interest in amplification of them, then this is a place you may find some assistance in making them "sound like you want, only louder".

Dan ... just an L1 user (and one who has played keys in a couple of 'big band' groups).

Hi Chopped50ford,
I sent you a private message.
