G’day mate – I am also from Sydney, Australia. My first sax was a Yamaha YAS-23 just like yours. Awesome sax to start with but sooner or later .. you may find yourself moving to the dark side … that is .. to a tenor. Welcome to this awesome site. You will find lots of help here, and Johnny is very helpful. You should join the Premium access. It costs peanuts compared to a private tutor and there are full on basic to advanced courses. Highly recommended and I am not paid to say that! Good luck! Dave
