I was doing some research on something else and I found another Super DES on www.museum-markneukirchen.de -- and there's some interesting info about CA Wunderlich. I will attempt to transliterate...

I actually +1 the idea of making sure the Eb vent works. While it's arguable that disabling the vent improves intonation, the horn was designed with it. FWIW, though, I've had about a half-dozen...

Kewl horn. Are you going to buy a "donor" horn for the missing keys/posts?

Sometimes I need to read a bit ....

If you look at the article that Gandalfe links to, either the columnist or (more likely) Brockman even states that the horn with all the additional keywork is...

Thanks, Groove. He's more impressive in person. I get you on the on the Egyptian, too.

We took him in for his vet follow-up yesterday. There was a lot of speculation as to what kind of dog he...

I believe Mr. Brockman has a simplified version of this available. I remember that it didn't have the 12 vents, but I don't remember how many. Three or four, I think.

The lesson from such horns...

Well, it is a stencil, after all. You've also gotta remember the Martin Home Model C tenor, which had a reduced keyed range of C to C and very few "helper" keys, was also kickin' around in the...

As both a bari sax and bass clarinet player, I second this comment. Of course, Merlin's also got about 50 instruments he lugs to a show ....

Yesterday, my family adopted a new dog from the Arizona SPCA (Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, aka "the pound"). Already named "Ozzie," before we got him. He's a 50lb Basenji and...

I think I just Googled. WWBW has them for $42. You're probably right that there was a sale.


My feeling is that, if you are a novice, you shouldn't be using either a reed finishing device or a...

Low = "Low Pitch" = modern intonation, where a concert A=440hz.
A = "Alto"

You neither have an alto/soprano pitched in A -- which would be interesting, to say the least -- nor do you have a...

Ah, we have no problems beating dead horses, here.

I think the "tinny" (I'd call it "buzzy") does seem to depend a lot on what kind of mouthpiece you use. Also, it's been at least 20 years since...

I'm the Artist Formerly Known as Saxpics.

I'm sorry, but you read it wrong. Check out my original page: http://saxpics.com/dolnet/index.htm. "Series II (s/n 12xx to 34xxx; 1940 to 1950). Bel...

I'm surprised someone hasn't said, "Use synthetics and don't worry about the 'systems.'"

A saxophone "finishing" technique that was in vogue a few years back was to put a hole in the reed. If you...

Google Translate renders this as:

"Cousin of the best known Rampone, took over the business of SAIIIM. Skilled craftsman produced saxophones of excellent, perhaps the best ever produced in Italy."...

I found another Keilwerth straight alto at http://www.centrofiatiepercussioni.it/fiati.php?cat=Sax%20Contralti%20e%20Baritoni. It's been about a year since I've seen one. Based on some of the other...

Selmer NY horns were (generally) made by Conn or Buescher, none of them were made by Selmer Paris.

The only problem I have with this is that people are essentially learning to play by ear. I had a student that was taught with the Suzuki Method -- a lot of that emphasizes the "play by ear" idea --...

Update on the update: so, the "dachsie" was taken to da farm. He got out of the car and immediately tried to attack one of the really, really big dogs. (I had watched the dachsie play with a couple...

Same here.

I definitely miss my doggie, but I've got lots of other pain, too. Have I told you about my nerve damage ...?

I was thinking, "WTH is the 'ATG System'?" Promotional linky: http://www.ridenourclarinetproducts.com/ATG1.html

In any event, I've never played on a chipped reed that was good.

Use the ones that suit you best. Also note that the reeds you're talking about aren't synthetic, so there's a good deal of individual variation. I've occasionally sandpapered or clipped natural...

To get one? Sure. Post in http://www.woodwindforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?265-The-Clarinet-Family-General-Discussion

> can a small portion of the lacquer be repaired - though it would be hard to match the rich honey color that the years have added to the original.
Yes it can and no it's not, to both the question...

I know that there is at least one thread on SOTW regarding stolen instruments and I think there was a website devoted to the topic that was supposed to go up.

A few really high-end saxes in that...
