My daughter got a Yamaha tenor sax and is very happy with it. This was around 10 years ago so I suppose it's proof that they last, but equally the available range will no doubt have changed a lot in the intervening period. Also it means that any ideas I have on price are wildly out of date.
In general I would be guided by her teacher.
