After a lengthy discussion with friends, experts and this thread, I've decided to remove the remaining 30% of her lacquer using a mild chemical stripper. She should look pretty good once hand polished. No buffing wheel is going to touch my baby.

I am right in the middle of a rebuild project for a 1941 Buescher Big B Aristocrat tenor. I lucked into this horn on eBay a few months back and even in very poor condition, she still sounded wonderful. After getting Paul Heimann to agree to do the body work on her, I'm now finishing up the...

Me. That's why I'm here. I saw SOTW was still down and I needed my daily fix of saxophone related banter. So here I am. ;)

Ok, So it's not the wrong question. It's just the wrong forum for that question. Fair enough. And as always, all my respect. ;)

To me it looks like some kind of wooden recorder. Look at the first one in the pic below. See how the mouthpiece is made:

Sometimes you can find a good Selmer S80 or S90 on eBay for under $50. To me, these are a great improvement over the standard Selmer C*. Also, you may want to consider moving up at least one tip size to maybe a D or D*. My playing really improved when I happened to "find" an S80 tenor...

Yep, Some time ago, I got one of these wide-screen babies for use on the computer I built to run the church's projection system. It's a joy to use. Now if I could just justify buying one for myself. :rolleyes: Here's a link to the 24-inch job...

Oh I see. It's the alternate reality version of Hak that has the beard here. I wonder if Bandmommy is the one wearing the open mid-drift mini-skirt with the black go-go boots? 8-)

Yep, I'm here from the other forum too. Everything looks strangely familiar, but different. I wonder if Spock has a beard on this forum? ;-)
