If you want to the full range of Trevor James go to http://www.saxandco.co.uk they will ship saxes anywhere in the world and give some great service

I think Kenny G is a great saxophonist but have to agree with Johhby that some of his stuff is aimed squarely at the female market and elderly people like my brother ha ha and it’s very syrupy sweet I think he’s much more listenable on Alto and Tenor but sometimes the general public find hard and funky sax a bit too rich for their tastes and Kenny G to me plays Muzak for the older generation not funky enough for me personally

Johnny I’m amazed by the amount of choice of MPs for saxes
Not sure where to look next Sir for My Yamaha Alto which has a 4 C
Mp which in getting used to probably going to try a Jody Jazz and perhaps
a metal mp as well

Watch this space will let you know how I get on

I believe Warren Hill uses a Jody Jazz and He sounds fantastic but maybe
that’s because He’s been playing for many years which must a have a bearing on how
He sounds and plays.

Until I started playing Alto Sax in July of this year I had no idea there are so many
mouthpiece options I’ve been playing Clarinet for 50 years and always used the
mouthpiece that came with each Clarinet and I think I have a beautiful
tone that is just the result of years of practice,practice and More practice

Lovely collection there Sir I have a Buescher Clarinet My Wife found in a local Antiques Barn and Its got a lovely tone different from My Buffet
And very distinct sound so I expect Your saxes have wonderful tones too Im very envious by the way
