5.0 out of 5 stars
easy reference,
By LBWheels457 (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tipbook Saxophone: The Complete Guide (Paperback)
The Tipbook for Saxophone has saved me! As a music eduacation student, this tipbook has been a lifesaver when it comes to needing easy to understand, fast help. Whether it's learning to play, looking to buy, to reeds and mouthpieces, to fingerings, to their history...this book has it all. It's layed out in an easy to read format and even gives you other places to look for more information. I highly recommend this book to any music student or saxophone player!

Sax for Everyone,
By Joseph R Baker "Joseph R Baker" (Southeast, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tipbook Saxophone: The Complete Guide (Paperback)
Super-basic reference on the Saxophone for the beginner through professional. Well laid out; uses everyday language; covers it all. This book should be "Chapter One" of each and every Saxophone Method. A must for the beginning student and a quick reference for the professional, particularly one who is not fluent in "repair" language. Highly recommended.

Tipbook Saxophone,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tipbook Saxophone: The Complete Guide (Paperback)
An excellent source of general information about the four most common types of saxophones. The book covers a broad range of areas about saxophones, such as buying a sax, selecting accessories, practicing, etc. Being a tipbook, it presents the basics you need to know without a lot of text background detail. It answered many of the questions I've come up with but had no one to ask. The text format is short paragraphs of 2-4 sentences with many illustrations on each subject. The material is very easy to understand and apply. As a self taught student, I found the book very useful and was glad I ordered it. I was also quite pleased at the price.
