Good comparative demonstration, Most of the time I blow a Theo Wanna 7* slant sig 2 with a fiber onyx medium reed

Sounds good to me

Pete, The Slant Sig 2 7* is my favorite m/p. About a year ago I was looking for a Stan Getz type m/p and Theo Wanna was explaining mouth pieces of the 1940s saying that tip openings were no larger than 6 or 7. Nigel McGill, sax man in England, was demonstrating the Slant Sig 2 so I bought a Slant Sig 2 7* and an 8. I like the 8 and the 7* So I…[Read more]

I’v been blowing the carbon fiber Onyx medium reed. They seem to work for me. I don’t use one mouthpiece. Theo Wanne slant sig 2 7* or 8 or Guardala fat boy carbon fiber 7*. Rovner ligatures are what I use most of the time

Hi Michael
The area in Taos where we are is called “Ranchos de Taos”. We have to get a P.O. Box tomorrow, Monday because no mail is delivered to the house

SX Poet, Sometimes I do a Kenny G smoking a pipe. I noticed that the late Homer “Boots” Randolph holds his mouthpiece a little off to the side, right of center

James Buckley; Last Date never showed up on my repertoire page either. Johnny had to send it to me.

I like “Last Date” and I like to take it up two half steps to the Key of A major just by looking at the notes in G major and thinking two half steps up to A major. I suppose I prefer to play low D instead of low C.

Ya, Floyd Crammer was the piano man during the Elvis Years, Thanks for sending Last Date to me. Today, Feb. 3 “Last Date” is still not on my Repertoire page. “Imagine” is the last song on my repertoire page. But i now have the sheet music and backing tracks. Thanks Johnny

I had to go down half size on my reed strength, from a carbon onyx medium to a medium soft on my carbon fat boy 7* mouthpiece. Good match, 7* and medium soft onyx reed. I’ll be bouncing back and forth from a medium soft to medium. When we arrive in Taos New Mexico we’ll have to hunt for internet service, broadband, smoke signals, or something.

Thanks Johnny. Guess I’ll try glissing on down every now and then
