Yeah, the Quadras weren't the best looking, nor were they the worst. I had owned three 950s at one time, two with PPC upgrades and one had a full GIG hard drive from like 1993. I sold two that were working with a for $200 each several years ago. Late 2022 I sold one that was broken for over...

I've done some art with it a few weeks ago. https://creator.nightcafe.studio/creation/2wV5F6a1F5RDpjUqPwJS I plugged in something like "Young PeeWee Herman as the Statue of Liberty". I don't remember what filter I used, but I post it now in honor of him.

Whatever it is, I'm sure my cat doesn't want one.

Some woman sold me a Yamaha Allegro clarinet for $50 and the husband threw in a Yamaha electric guitar for free.

You have an F Messo Alto and a Contrabass saxophone?

Thanks! It's kind of a funny animal. Dark and growly sounding....

I don't see a country of origin on it. Its engraving is similar to an Orsi stencil I have, but the similarities rapidly depart from there. Matching SN on neck and G#. The brand "Olympian" is scratched on the bell where you would expect the logo, but it's so light and sloppy it looks like it...

I hate to be "that guy", but if you have to ask what you should do in this case, I'd recommend you not repad a professional saxophone on your own.

Damn impressive, Pete!

My understanding is that it's typical for far too many kids want to sign up for percussion than makes sense for the group. I remember being told as a fifth grader almost four decades ago that 4 years of piano lessons would be a requisite. By the time one of my nephews joined, they waived that...

Come to Minnesota. -11F with high winds.

I tried wrapping my head around this problem for a bit, and not coming up with any suggestions (other than the SOTSDO solution), I just chose to refrain from replying. Ultimately, I think Pete is correct.

I've always maintained that it's not necessarily what you buy, it is who you buy it from that is the most important. When you figure that out, the make and model get figured out too. Good, local repair people are excellent sources of good horns, and service is an inevitability with woodwind...

I'm just hoping peejer didn't end up dropping $1500 on something like an Allora. As I remember, in 2014, that was Yanagisawa 800 money....

For what it's worth, the more Protec cases I get, the more I am put off by them.

No, but I have a decent sized box full of old ADB Apple Keyboards........ 3d Printing is something I know I'm bound to get into at some point, but haven't done so....

http://bassic-sax.info/version5/about/gear/horn-set-ups/bass-set-up @Helen mentioned this was a 1922 forged instrument. Happy centennial!!!

Those are actually fairly valuable and good enough players that some people settle on these as their "main horn". Its definitely worth getting a local technician to give a quote for refurbishment.

I won a goodwill auction on an Orsi stencil alto saxophone by a mere 43 cents or so using the same sort of tactic you do, Pete. I think the entire thing cost less than $60.

I wish I had passed on my long time nightmare. What a heap!!
