Yes, dude, you should totally go for it! I play alto sax and i love it! But first things first!. You have to choose which sax you want to play, because there are about fout types!. Alto and tenor are the main types!. Alto is smaller and makes a higher noise, while tenor is alot bigger and makes a really low noise!. The best place to buy one in Yamaha, or Cosmo music!. At Cosmo if you rent it for a year, and then decide to buy it, you get 10% off!. You can buy books and CD's at Cosmo too!. You can get DVDs at your public library and at Sears!. To play a sax you have to work really hard, because it is extremely hard to play!.

While I love the flute, the sax is a great instrument!. Selmer is a very good brand, especially for beginners!. Try to buy a basic method book like Standard of Excellence and also think about some lessons to help you get used to the instrument!. Remember to buy a cleaning kit and read the instructions on how to properly use it, and when buying reeds start with the lowest number first!. All of this can be found at you local music store!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you want to learn how to play than I say go for it!. A good place to buy a saxophone depends on your location!. I'd look online to find a store relatively close to you!. As for the books or DVD's I'm sure your local bookstore, such as a borders or a toadstool, would have some!. If not than try amazon!.com!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

You should take up sax, it's really easy to learn if you play something else already!.
