advice
... t(s), no? Not a word from them.
This is exactly what I've lamented in other posts; Asking for advice or help from the membership who are willing and able to spare the time and ...
Hey, I know you! Didn't you just blabber THIS to me on another thread?
[i]"the reason i asked is i thought u seemed a good site and being that u are a 'saxy' person i thought id ...
Thanks for all the advice. I'm a former music major and know what to look. I know quite a bit about the Selmer models as well as the Yamaha models, but I've never played on a Yanagisawa. I&# ...
Hi, I'm looking to sell a Super Action 80, series I alto.
It has 100% lacquer, no dents at all. I played it in school (25 years ago) and it has been carefully stored since. Everything is ...
I have found two alto saxes in our price range. One is 1994 Conn and the other is a Yamaha YAS23. Any immediate thoughts about which might be a better instrument? He plays well and is intermediate in ...
Howdy folks,
I recently purchased a Yanagisawa B880 (Bari sax) and am having it looked at in the shop soon. I'm looking for a good mouthpiece, and have about $300 that I'm willing to spend ...
my tenor yamaha tenor has low f leak. i've searching high and low to find some advice other than take it to a repair man. this just happened out of the blue. the first time it did this i took ...
Saw the samples. Looks good! Good info -- good advice.
My son is in middle school, played the alto sax for three years, owns the Bundy II. He is now considering adding the tenor sax to his portfolio. I'm on a shoe string budget and am looking at the ...
Mike:
Thanks for the reply. You have raised some good points about repairmanship and they are well taken. This horn would surely end up as a lamp if I hadn't rescued it, so I don't think I ...
I just started playing tenor again after a more than 10 year absence. (I played in high school.) The mouthpiece I have is junk. I'm looking to buy a good one for playing jazz.
I have a very ...
I bought this instrument new in early eighties for about $900. Used it about five years and switched to piano. It has been in the case ever since. Has a little tarnish on bell, but otherwise in ...
I want to buy my son an alto sax this year. He is 10 years old and this is his second year playing.
Any suggestions on what to buy? Is there a big difference between new and used, except for price ...
... # 739289 (no letters before or after) with "lady face" is this made in 1958? Do you have advice as the best way for me to go about selling it, ebay or a local music store? It is in the ...
I recently came across a Bundy saxophone. I know that it is an alto, and is in fairly good condition (pads all seem to be in good shape, but could probably use a good cleaning). It is in a case, but ...
Thank you for the advice Steve. It was my father's sax and is in excellent shape. I also have a Conn Stars and Stripes that is in excellent shape. I will likely put it up on ebay this weekend. ...
Best bet, as always, is "try before you buy." If you have ANY chance at all to try a horn before opening your wallet and parting with $400 to $4,000, you should.
A Yamaha student horn in ...
Unfortunately, there is not a quick easy answer for this. You should not attempt this yourself. The keys need to close in sync with each other, so when you adjust one key, you may have to adjust ...
There are better options for the same amount or a bit more than this student grade brand. Especially for a junior in Highschool who presumably is not a rank beginner on the instrument.
I would give ...
Not so sure about that advice!
OK, so Amati ( aka Corton, Lafleur ) make cheap, student horns - but plenty of people out there blow East German baris, and it has to be said that the Czech built ...
Hi
I' m a french alto player and I think to buy a mark 6 alto but i don't know what i must to choose between 2 serial numbers.
70XXX and 140XXX
i have already a balanced alto and i want ...
I guess I've been spoiled belonging to a forum for motor coach owners because there is ALWAYS someone there to communicate with. All through the day people help, guide and talk about things that ...
Before anyone can give you advice as to which donor neck you will need, we must first establish which major manufacturer made your Stencil horn. Bruno is simply the NY, NY music publishing and retail ...
Steve: Thanks again for the advice. I am looking for a descent horn and would like to stay under 1K. I just recently obtained an old Conn (USA made) alto for 100 and spent 300 for pads and regulation. ...
It's quite simple, if you have to ask how to replace a post and make the necessary adjustments to the keywork so that it functions correctly, then you do not have the experience level necessary ...
I think that a yamaha is good advice, but I wouldn't go for the 62. It's an expensive choice for a kid of 12, unless he has the kind of comitment where he knows what he wants for himself. ...
Hello,
I would love to get some advice regarding a Saxo Tenor I want to buy for my niece. She plays the flute and wants now to play also saxo tenor. Eventually she will end up playing in a marching ...
Good advice - on many reeds they will warp once dried out after playing a couple times. I like to put some water in a small glass and soak the reed for 5 or more minutes, then putting the reed on the ...
I gather it's pretty common for people to have trouble with rasping, squealing, and jumping the octave on the bottom 3 or 4 notes. This has been my experience with a Conn Bb tenor, an old Holton ...
I own a Conn bass sax, and my advice to you once you find and buy one is to DEFINITELY make arrangements to pick it up personally and transport it home.
Making a potentially cross country trip ...
Through college I played oboe for the 'serious' music (wind ensembles, contests, etc) and alto and tenor sax for fun (marching and pep bands). I still play some of both, sometimes for a ...
Hi Drpaul, I use a Vandoren T75 java for jazz use, I am a beginner and would have to say it has kind of a thin edgy loud sound. It was designed for Bebop. But I believe the T75 java jumbo is louder ...
Thanks. Sounds like good advice. From all that I have read, the Yamaha YTS 23 is a great way to go. I haven't seen too many for sale, used that is. Is there a Conn tha is similar to it?
