NOOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Does anyone else think Tony's the one selling out? I mean, if you were to find the person most qualified to sing a crooner style duet with Tony, I don't think Lady Gaga would be high at the top of...

My Macbook pro died last year, and since I'm on musician salary, I bought a Koby Kyros (7024 I believe is the Model).

In two words, it's garbage.

It's running Android 2.1 (Froyo I believe),...

I found this info on Gemeinhardt headjoints:

I can think of two reasons why you'd ask this question:

1. You are...

Wow! What a resource!

Something I've used for a while has been: www.free-scores.com

Which has music for all instruments for free, but sometimes doesn't give you what you are looking for. ...

How do you find new artists/albums to listen to? Blindly picking up cds as stores or flea markets, friend recommendations, itunes, downloads, internet? They don't have to be new artists (I.e.-they...

From Trevor Wye and Patricia Morris', "A Piccolo Practice Book":

"It is unwise to start off your day on the piccolo like a demented banshee. Do some flute practice first to warm the lips."

Yes, the sax exercises. I don't know how, but I temporarily forgot about the method book for clarinet.

It's funny that this thread is here. I just borrowed "A Piccolo Practice Book" from the library here in Philadelphia (yes, our library is awesome!). Anyhow, I was looking for places to purchase...

So on all the woodwinds I play, I'm going back to basics. With my "adult" understanding of music, I have reopened the H. Klose book, and I must say, I'm greatly disappointed with the writing. I've...

I got really lucky that all those barrels fit in my case in the same space as a box of reeds. So they're fine. Unfortunately my selmer reed case with the glass inside doesn't fit in the case cause...

Sorry unfortunately no. So I have 3 Fobes barrels 64mm 65mm and 66mm and the tenon ring things as well which are .5 mm. A little advert for Fobes, because I like his products and want him to stay...

I'm of the opinion that if you like the tone of it, it's a great investment, and well worth the money for one, especially if you perform with many different groups. I prefer Clark Fobes brand...

Because I'm not a tech, I've been trying to figure out why there would be a difference working on a conical or cylindrical tenon. But I guess if you stretch or shrink a conical tenon, then you'd...

Wow, NAV was my second ship! Is a Bulgarian piano player named George the MD?

I did Mariner, Navigator, and Explorer. Are you in the Meditteranian?

With every wood instrument, it is important to oil the keywork once a month, and oil the bore twice a year. This will help maintain the instrument to it's highest performing level.

Buffet does...

The problem with non-wood instruments are two things, tone and the number of makers that provide this as a feature.

I've heard that material doesn't matter when it comes to producting a tone in a...

You are correct, my mistake. I don't currently play Eefer.

That makes a heap of sense. I don't do any recording right now, but I'm sure this will come to be something I'll focus on in the future.

I'm going to be bringing a new grenadilla piccolo on a gig in a cold pit in march. Do I need to worry about it cracking? I thought it might be too small to run the same risk a clarinet or oboe...

Very cool. I'm still stuck in tradition land. I don't mind it, but my pay scale is sadly lacking fortitude. I can imagine there being quite a leap in salary in certain performing markets.

Well yea, it's definitely a compression thing, not in the musical sense, but in reducing the bit rate to fit into onto a specifically sized recording apparatus, whatever that may be. Anyhow, still...

I hope I get on that level some day. I hear that the musucians in Spider Man are conducted on a tv monitor. And I spent last night watching bootleg youtube video of Lion King. Man can they do some...

Biiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrppppppppppppppp!!! Oh, dear me. Pardon.

In my less than expert opinion, I think this is probably right, you are probably swallowing air. And I'm sure you're much...

I was going to ask the same question. I would think the bore would be at least a tad smaller than an Bb, at least enough so that it wouldn't fit. I don't play eefer yet either, so I wouldn't know. ...
