appears to have a bug in the display system, when you append an old forum post?
Seems to overlap onto later postings, and make them unreadable.

i guess if people were honest, they would say i sound like a herd of elephants sitting on an ants nest juggling dustbins with their trunks.

Three transposed tunes

Hi Jeff,
i only have one mouthpiece guardala king, other than the yamaha mouthpiece covered in mould that is still festering in the yamaha sax case. lol

Hi Jeff,
i haven’t ordered the mouthpiece as they are out of stock. Gives me time to change my mind.

definitely, his backing tracks sound like the real thing.

Excellent idea Leo, the school my youngest daughter went to, donated her an electric guitar when she was playing clarinet in the school band. She had two school band trips abroad, in Belgium and Italy and fully enjoyed playing.

Then i bought her clarinet off her, just in case she wants to pick it up again later on in life, so i’m now practicing…[Read more]

think of all those poor upcoming young sax players looking for a good sax to buy.

i’ve seen quite a few used Selmar’s come up for sale over the years, and i refuse to buy them, otherwise i could be depriving an upcoming player of getting their hands on a great sax.

I’ve kept my list in a ‘checklist’ spreadsheet, where i have tick boxes in the left hand side rows, to keep track of songs i bought over the years.

check out the photo, you can see the two Vamp Stock reeds on the left and right hand side inside the ligature, they are both touching the base sides of the vibrating reed.

on top of the vibrating reed, is another hard Vamp Stock synthetic reed.

As you can see from the photograph, the ligature is way too fat for the mouthpiece barrel
