At L & L Music, Victor Litz Music Center, or Music & Arts, you can see saxophones and compare how their size and weight feel. In a home with shared walls or close neighbors, remember that an acoustic saxophone carries sound; agree on practice times and choose a room that works for everyone. Set aside time to assemble the instrument, prepare the reed, and swab it after practice. A good case and a few spare reeds help keep a Sugarland Run practice routine ready to go.
