Good to see all back to full swing. I’ve had a good week getting into these backing tapes. It seemed a little unfair to let you know all the downside of my tale and vanish. I still don’t do social media, but this site is like my morning newspaper. Had great mails off of Keith & Peter….thanks guys !!
So….I’m looking for the elusive holy grail of tenorsax mpcs. The Berg 130 \ 0 as played by Lenny Pickett, and Pete Christlieb (? ) amongst others.
Its a mean looking thing, but I’m maxed out on reeds. Up to hard ” bari ” on my 95 duckbill.
On the list…
Fifties Berg duckbill 95 \1 offset.
Lawton 6B. Early Geoff Lawton at his best. This came from Trevor Emeny from the Syd Lawrence band, and has met some great players, Zoot included.
Rare Wolfe Tayne. Silver plate, this is the original blue box Tayne. Only a few were made, with a link style screw lig. After that they were mass produced, with more of a Berg style. Pretty common, not great. I sold a spare lig off of one of these a while back for close to $100. Crazy !!
I’m essentially looking for wider tips. Dukoffs, Links, Quantum ( Runyon ). The Lawton is on E bay right now Dan. If it goes, I’ll take yours. Could you tell me the tip opening please, plus some shots ??? Thanks.
Have a great day..jak
