Here's an update naming Todd White as one person who owns this horn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcontrabass_sax

I had returned to sax after a ~30 year break and my teacher, a hard core drunk but awesome player, died of liver failure. His wife was so distraught and setting up his funeral was tough. So I asked...

Prepare a syllabus for the first practice. I often ask the student what kind of music they favor and then hand them the classical, community band, or jazz version. List your fav play along music for...

Bobby, I keep meaning to play with this kinda stuff. Maybe on my next vacation. :)

Hmm... don't know of anyone here who lives in that neck of the woods, but I could be wrong. Are you playing with anyone? Networking locally is how I find my fav instructors. Alternatively, you could...

Years ago I had a chance to buy a Triebert bass sax. Triebert was a famous maker of Bassoons and Oboes that eventually was incorporated into Couesnon around 1880. It wasn't a very satisfying play and...

Using/creating a well-researched eBay ad, I have been able to sell everything I've put out there. There is a learning curve to learning how to do good ads (find similar, run draft past this group,...

Thanks for the update Carl. Can't remember what threw up flags for me, but good to know there are people/friends like you out there who look out for people in need.

I try to not give advice, first because I'm a hobbyist and secondly because it's not usually appreciated. If the the player sounds good, I leave them alone. If they can't get their instrument to...

I looked also, but wasn't sure if you were joking or not. You *are* known to be a joker and I don't know this person.

The price for such a lovely horn seems much lower than "seemingly" similiar horns. I looked see if the front F or range (left hand palm keys) would justify a lower price. Wonder what's up, it's a...

What nice site. The pictures really pop.

Ole...

Cool.

I have often wondered what instrument companies do with unsold stock say for eefiers or alto clarinets.

Assuming you are a decent player with no emboucher problems, have you tried a shorter barrel?

I don't know how musicians do it. Running a big band means I schlep up to 2 carts of stuff. And even with the cart my back hurts by the end of the night. Then it takes another 30 mins to tear t all...

I can't imagine that either. Wonder what flag got tossed. Maybe Pete will have an answer.

Ah, so many great horns, so little time.

Now that's just funny. Maybe we could add a thread with dubious music instrument and musician pics. Nae that would probably just become yet another Kenny G thread.

Lookee who I found on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/kesslermusic/followers It's a small, small world.

We need more info if we're gonna try to provide info on a stencil. Have you started reading here yet?

Suzy (clarinet) and I (tenor sax) will be traveling to Boston in July to perform with the National Community Band. This will be our third time is seven years having also done them in New Orleans and...

I play my alto clarinet in a gig maybe once a year usually in the Community band because we have too many alto saxes (four in a group that is over 60 band members). When we have more than one chart...

Nice page. Looks like a fine (pun intended) band. :)
