No chance Tim. That is not me but the guy I was going to buy a sax. I hope to sound like that one day. Actually I have turned to a rental tenor sax for the next few months as I can’t find the one I am after right now and unfortunately Paypal hangs on to your money for a month so although I have sold my alto two weeks ago the cash isn’t mine til after xmas! So I am renting a student model Jupiter for $40 a month for now and been playing it for two days. Wow, what a different feel and sound. Noticed immediately I could easily play right up to high F# and down to Bb as well with ease that was somewhat more challenging on the alto. The sound from the Jupiter screams “student” though I did improve it slightly sith a different lig but at least I can spend some time now working on MP /reed combo for when I buy my dream sax in a few months.

Johnny, it was exactly this week last year I recommitted to playing sax for sure and you and your site are largely responsible for getting me to where I am one year later, playing multiple scales and many songs fluently so for that I am eternally grateful and I am keen to see where I am at this time next year. So Merry Xmas to you for all you do.

Thanks Johnny. I will add to the blog as soon as I get my chops around this bigger horn! I didn’t realise it was so much larger than the alto. Even with the student model I really love the upper register so much more than the alto. I have just been playing the alto key on the tenor for now to get the feel and most don’t sound too bad at all. Cant play along with the track of course but still enjoyable. Playing the g blues really sounds cool on the tenor. in fact everything does! Cant half tell I am a convert well and truly. Thanks to you I applied the same daily routine to a weights training fitness program in the past few weeks and its really paying off. Climbing those little mountains and succeeding and noticing steady results is the same as the progress I made on the sax with your guidance so cheers to you for implanting that in my psyche.
