Learning/playing sax on a budget (lemm.ee)

Hey guys, I'm thinking of trying out sax but I can't really afford to pay for lessons or buy an expensive new instrument. Can you recommend any video tutorials for beginners? And what might be a good option for a secondhand sax? Thanks :)

For a great secondhand sax, I recommend you go to a local saxophone repair/sales shop, preferably a small family-owned one. Not only will they be able to sell you a good second-hand sax: they'll set it up for you, and make sure it plays well. I don't know where you live, but this is the kind of store I'm talking about (they have brand new saxophones that are less than $1,000): https://www.brassandwinds.com/
