That completely depends! talking about an Alto Saxophone (as this is the most common, especially amongst beginners) the prices can Cary from £200 right up into the thousands. It is possible to but saxes for less than this by buying second hand which can be great value, but as a beginner who may not know what they are looking for if you decide on this option then I would recommend getting whatever you intend to buy checked out by a professional in order to ensure you are not left with huge repair costs. Another downside is that once you play you will realise just how much spit gets into the Saxophone and you may be thoroughly put off! All I can say is you get what you pay for- the more expensive the sax the higher quality it will be so it will be easier to play and sound better in the long run.

Where could a reasonably priced tenor sax be purchased from?

Some stores selling relatively cheap saxophones include Overstock, Rakuten, and Bonanza. Even less expensive saxophones cost between 300 and 500 dollars, so anyone interested in purchasing one should make sure they definitely want to play this instrument.

Can oboes and saxophones read off of the same music?

Not often. Saxophones are transposing instruments (the note they see and finger is not the note that comes out) and oboes are not. C "melody" saxophones are relatively rare, but they would be able to read C music along with an oboe.
