I want to buy a saxophone for just having fun with. I won’t be taking lessons or anything and I won’t be in any kind of band, i just want to play for fun. I know nothing at all about saxophones other than what I’ve heard on jazz albums. I play the piano so I have musical experience, but I am a novice to any other kind of instrument.
My questions could be summed up like this:
1) What kind should I get (tenor, alto, etc…) and in what key? What is the best for a beginner? 2) Is it sanitary to buy a used sax? I imagine the mouthpieces or whatever would need to be replaced. Would it just be better to buy a new one? 3) How much would a low quality sax cost? 4) Is it relatively easy to improvise on the saxophone? 5) Are there a good amount of saxophone books and sheet music for beginners?
Please keep in mind I have no experience with saxophones and if possible would like a smaller one.

Just bought a keyboard, can already play a few songs but have never been ever to read sheet music and want to learn can someone please tell me how I know what not to key to play to the keyboard. I know the notes on the keyboard already just cant read them on the sheet music, like how do how I know what a c,d,e,f,g,a,b, looks like which one the one top? why are some upside down? Thanks
I basically googled the song and I get the chord progression up until the bit where it goes "as I try to get away from this crazy world". Looking especially for someone with the sheet music rather than just guessing or reiterating whats on the first page of google. Thanks alot!
