Very Helpful!
I found this book to be very helpful in learning how to harness my musical technique, & appreciation for the saxophone. This book was also very detailed in saxophone maintenance, & product care. 2 thumbs up indeed!

Tipbook
Gives a lot of knowledge to all areas of the instrument including different opinion's on various topics. if you want to get to know about saxophones start here!

Good but could be better
I expected more tips for sax playing. Instead, there is a lot of information regarding the instrument care and how it is made of. Anyway, it is good and useful. Therefore, I definitely recommend it.
