Good points, but most if not all are not applicable here in England. I know for a fact that the college I attended doesn't even have a music department. Craigslist, isn't that just for in the US? Same with Goodwill.com?

What about this Xaphoon? The Cantabile X20

I would love to do that, but I don't have a regular income, and I'm 50. By the time I had enough money to buy a new sax (and it would have to be new let's face it) I might be in my 60s! Another option was a Xaphoon, like the Cantabile X20.

From what I've seen on youtube these (and the Jsax) look and sound really good. I can get one for less than £30 and even tho it won't have the range of a clarinet it has that reed, giving that sound and dynamics that I really like, also it will give me the opportunity of playing an instrument...

Looking good. I see from your blog that you dabble in bonsai too. Me too, tho I've lost more than I've kept

Some interesting points in this thread for a wannabe clarineter like me! Plastic preferable to wood, for similar reasons to those attached to recorders!

Some fantastic stuff there!

What purpose do these guards perform? Are they put on to protect the sax when it's put in its case?

Clarinet heaven!

I recently got a book on the history of the clarinet (the Clarinet Companion). Looks an interesting book.

Yea I hear ya. We'll just have to see. I'm also teaching myself piano. If I could afford a teacher and find the time I would. But I'm unemployed, it's just not possible at the moment. And any money we get goes to the kids.

I couldn't afford a teacher, I have taught myself pretty much everything so far.

Well I didn't say I was gonna get it, I was just tempted while waiting for my dentist appointment. I know I have to save up and buy a new one. Still nice to window shop occasionally.

While waiting for my dentist appointment I spotted a Buffet Crampon B12 in cash converters, selling for £80. All the keys work, it even has a reed attached. Unfortunately the money is allocated to get a set up done on my ukulele. Was really tempting tho, although not being a player myself I...

Some nice pics there! That Conn-O-Sax is weird. A ball instead of a bell and said to sound like a big oboe! Odd

Which is why some holes on the tin whistle are large and some are small!

Interesting stuff. Sax is conical whereas I believe that clarinet is cylindrical, correct? Also the recorder is conical but the tin whistle cylindrical.

I'll have to do some research, find out the differences between trumpet and cornet

Fascinating. I love their videos. That horn is surprisingly versatile and of course I want to try playing one ;) Interesting that she says Richard Straus. I always thought it was pronounced Rickhard.. Anyway, good stuff!

I learnrd a new song today, called Never on a Sunday, and played it on my Yamaha alto recorder after picking out the notes on ukulele.
