Which saxophone should I buy? more details?
I have been playing the alto for 5 years, I’m in a high school band, and I want to step up to an intermediate or professional horn. I have about a 2000 budget, and I have looked at
Yamaha YAS475
Yamaha YAS62II
custom z’s are a little too much, but if I can get the money are they really good saxophones?
Selmer LaVoix
Jupiter 769GN
Those are the only ones I know of, any more suggestions? I don’t think I need a vintage horn if I’m in high school. Thanks!

I have a vintage trumpet, a Gretsch Pathfinder, which appears to be in frosted & shiny nickel coated brass?
The stamping on the bell states its name & also Chicago / Brooklyn. It has a serial number of 4 digits starting with 3. Besides similar instruments on Ebay, I cannot find out any information about the horn or the early Gretsch company (before they moved into the guitar business). Anyone out there have any idea where I can find some information???? Thanks.
