Does anyone out there in netland know how to find and select a good used
tenor saxophone?  I'm thinking of taking up the instrument but I don't know
the first thing about it.

Suggestions both of where to look (music stores, pawn shops, classified ads,
bulletin boards, music schools?) and how to evaluate a sax when I find one
(condition, price, and preferred brands and models) would be appreciated.

In addition, if anyone has any bright ideas about how to find a good teacher
and get a good start on the horn, please share them.  I'm an adult of modest
musical ability but with a love for the instrument.  My secret wish is to
learn to play jazz, but I'd be very happy if I could just blow a little
blues.

Please reply by mail and if there's interest I'll summarize to the net.
