Dear Marek,
The following is fro wikipedia: 
"Red Ingle was taught basic violin from age five by Fritz Kreisler, a family friend. 
However at 13, he took up the saxophone, and that instrument later became his main instrument. 
Ingle received a music scholarship and studied at the Toledo American College of Music, playing classical music on a concert level. 
Ingle was also influenced by the country fiddlers he had heard; he was able to play their songs in their style as well as the classics in a traditional pose. 
At 15 he was playing professionally with Al Amato, and by his late teens, was touring steadily with the Jean Goldkette Orchestra, along with future jazz legends Bix Beiderbecke and Frankie Trumbauer."
Very kind regards,
Bill.
