    You should really start by finding a teacher and then discussing WHICH sax (soprano/alto/tenor) and then makes and models...

    +1.

    OP : I love the sound of the saxophone, especially the tenor. I dont know much about them, but I'd assume, like most instruments, there is an entry level. I know "Lidls" were recently selling them. Dont know if they were any good.

    Re lessons : You could start by having a look here :

    Be sure and let us know how you get on.

    Good luck with it. :)

    I am going to have a go at the Sax myself and I will head to this guy :
    http://www.paulryanmusic.com/
    He has a list of tutors on that site as well.
    You can rent one out from him or purchase a decent starter model.
    I really would love if when you do start you post, or anybody reading would post, how hard is it to learn.
    I have played lot's of non wind instruments and the sax is the last instrument on my long list of instruments I wanted to learn how to play.
    So make sure to post back and best of luck :-)
