Man, that’s some nice easy tone you have after four years did you say ? Great…
I’m gonna go out on a limb as I don’t encroach on any of Johnnys teaching… But …
If you are checking your intonation , an octave jump would be the obvious choice. If you use the 7 interval….…[Read more]

All we need now is some Dylan !!
Confession ; Dylan is my hero !!
Sang about saxophones a lot but rarely used them; but for the ” Budokan ” album…..the horns won’t shut up !!
Bob , if you see this…hope its all good dude…tee hee…

If you are really into this guy and Boney James and ….I’m only fooling….
…to an extent 😉

LOL !! I wondered when this guy was gonna come up .
He’s a good bari player for sure; did big things going from NYC Subway to the BBC…Something or other…
As for the pink hair and the dancing about ??
The jury is out on that one a and will probably stay out. First thought , its ” SHOWBIZ FOLKS “…

Second thought. It’s amazing what some good…[Read more]

For future reference …

Interesting read guys !! I wish I had a comment…
I know how my 10M sounds….GREAT !!!
Other than that, I’m stumped..
I think I prefer it that way. Man, I used to read these lengthy essays on ” how do various lacquers effect the sound “…er…DULL !!
These days its all about …
If you got a decent horn , mpc and reed…your good to go…[Read more]

Yup, altissimo is good. I’m gonna have to put in the work on my ” music room “. Nothing g extravagant; plasma screen for dots, big speakers !! All linked up to this pad right now.
I spent a good few $$ on a real nice Sony soundbar. Its only small, but heavy…. Big sound.
The real issue is putting up a ” dead corner “. Some baffles to soak up…[Read more]

Way to go Jeff…thankyou !!

They are good back tracks Bro C !! Go onto his homepage and shoot him a mail. I only watched the first one but a list of names came up.
Maybe friends or College dudes, but man that blues harp was nice …

Oh , Mel it makes a nice change to hear somebody satisfied with their outfit. If it ain’t broke and all….
Metal mpcs can take their toll on your bottom lip, but whatever suits man….
Anyhow….the clips …😊

WOW ; THANKS JEFF !! Just wondering what to listen to. That c!ip in the park ; man I keep expecting his horn to explode !!….he a MONSTER !!😉

I did try a Berg 150 at Johnny Roadhouse music store. Even with the softest reeds I could barely get a sound…
A lot of it has to do with the shape of your oral cavity ( your mouth, jaw structure )….
Can’t take it away from Ernie and the boys though..chops of steel…
Mel, did you watch James Carter ” walk the dog ” in central park…??
If you…[Read more]

Yeah Mel 160…WOW !! I know a guy had a 165 Runyon, that worked out at a 17….
I’m maxed out at my #8. Legend has it ( though where from who knows ) that 108 is the ” sweet ” spot for a link. Don’t have calipers , but yeah an 8 I’m real happy.
Did you ever get your link Mel ?

Thanks Mel ; not heard this guy, will give a listen later…practice, practice, more practice….
Just to touch on it; I’ve been using the Otto Link #8 again. I went back to a 6 or 9095 tip.
I let another guy have a blast on my setup…we went to music school together, he’s using a local studio. ” big air and lots of it “….was his comment.

Sxpoet, good to hear your on the mend man. Right, just got back from another check on my arm; I can’t believe its more than a year since the ” accident “.
Good days and more painful days. It is what it is and hey, I’m playing !!
So 10M time, let’s see what the altissimo is saying today…..have a safe & happy one folks….😉

THE 10M IS GOOD !! Thankfully !!
A trip to Al my tech is always a pleasure, but the last thing I need at the beginning of the week was the thought of a double round trip.
Sometimes I’ll stay whilst he fixes a leak or bits of cork…that stuff.
I didn’t want my 10M to have issues, the neck system is a one off, Conn measurements. I don’t think…[Read more]
