Is the intermediate one harder to play? Can someone who has never played a sax before start on an intermediate?(me)

Because I found out that the price of the two are almost the same.

Thanks in adavance Wink

There shouldn't be a difference in playability, and the "intermediate" horn should be better constructed and of more quality than the "student" horn. Good luck Cool

Plain "student" is plenty to become quite good on, sound good on, etc., and eventually you'll know whether you want to invest in a pro horn. To buy a horn inbetween student and pro would be a waste of cash.

You're saying they're about the same cash, so it's no biggie. If you don't already have a horn, play as many horns as you can and pick one out that you like the sound of.
