Hi Johnny, just a suggestion for a song I don’t see in your collection. My Wife found this video cover of Sir Duke, which looks like a fun one. Not sure if/how it would work on a Tenor, but anyway, seems to be a good song for sax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRJZr1kck5s

Thanks Johnny, I didn’t know that. Yes, on the palm keys, I can hit the D consistently, and E sometimes ;), but the high F is very hard to hit, seems even harder with the synthetic reed versus cane. May be my imagination, but curious, it is easier to hit the very high notes with a stiffer reed? Right now I am mainly practicing with the Black…[Read more]

Update: I’ve been playing the Black Onyx for a few days now and they are great. Mainly playing the Soft so far, and tried the Medium Soft today, and felt a little different but still played well. Overall I love the way it is easier to hit the low notes without too much trouble. However, I am wondering if it is normal to have it be tougher to…[Read more]

Hi Johnny, curious, as a fairly new Premium Member, how should I think about the timing on my ability to download the 4 songs per month? Is it by the date I started my membership, or just by calendar month? Thanks!

Looking forward to getting my Fiberreeds in the mail tomorrow as well. William, I’m with you Fly Me To The Moon has been a fun one to play!

Thanks everyone for the great input. I have the Fiberreeds on their way, should show up tomorrow (thanks Johnny), so I’ll try those for a bit, but the Legere sounds interesting to try later as well, I may dabble there.

I just started playing a few weeks ago after 30 years. I am renting a Giardinelli GTS-300 Tenor, and so far it has been great to learn on as I am having to learn again how to read music, fingerings, etc. It came with a basic mouthpiece, not sure what brand, possibly same brand, and I got started with a box of 10 Rico 2.0 reeds. Watching the…[Read more]

Hi Johnny, I got 2 links from you the other day. Moon River worked fine, but the link to Surfer Girl didn’t seem to be valid. Could I please have a new link for that one?
Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I played mainly flute when I was a kid, age 7 on. Then did a year of trombone and switched to Alto Sax for a couple years in Marching Band in High School. I literally have not played an instrument in more than 30 years since then. But my Wife has been telling me it would be great to play for her, so I finally picked up one up (rent…[Read more]
