DO NOT BUY INSTRUMENTS ON EBAY!!! Especially ones where visual flaws can also affect the sound quality. I personally would never buy even an electric guitar off of ebay (an instrument the aesthetic condition of which usually doesn't affect the sound quality). It's just an easy way to get scammed into buying something that you don't really want.

Craigslist however, is a good place to find instruments because you can meet the person selling them and test them out before you commit to buying anything. Be wary though, you may want to have someone who knows a bit about saxaphones look over it as some things aren't noticeable to the untrained eye.


....and as Mr Dave said....please buy your own mouthpiece.
