Yes . . . I just don't have an A901. DAVE

Most of my customers have preferred either the Yanagisawa metal 7 or a Morgan excalibur 7E or 8E on the Yanagisawa A901.

do you think c* is fine? I do get a dif. tone with this then a rouseauu but im still not getting what i want with my sax..

[Dave Dolson]

Sure1234: I'm not trying to be a wise-guy (like maybe I was on my initial response above), but how can we possibly know if your C* is fine - or not? If you don't like what it does for you, then try something else. DAVE

My eleven year old daughter loves her C* S80 on a A-901

:wink:

I use my Meyer 6M for warm jazz, my Vandoren mpc for bright jazz, and my Selmer C* for classical...

First off what I meant initially with my post was that I would like to know how other people are doing with the C* on A901. I never posted once asking for people solve my dilemna but to just hear feedback about c*. When I read someone's post like this they get under my skin. You can find plenty of other ways to show your male superiority.

[Dave Dolson]

Sure1234: Then why didn't you pose your question so that we (at least me) knew what you were asking? And when you pose a question, please ask something that can be answered.

As far as how others are doing with their C* on an A901, it makes little difference. What is important is how you are doing with it. Just because I may have a C* and occasionally use it on my A992 (or whatever) doesn't mean that you will have the same experience. The answer you seek is mere entertainment, not enlightenment.

Did that get far enough under your skin? Your inane questions got under mine. DAVE

Well buddy, you're the only one to post a smart @ss comment in this topic. Again, if your not adding anything to the topic dont post its that simple.

Again, dont put words in my mouth. I never asked how other people thought I was doing with my C*. I thought it would be interesting to know how other people are doing with there C*.

Bottom line, if I feel offended I will call you out on what you said. You should reconsider your role on these forums if all of your post's consist of this rude wise guy behavior. You can still criticize and get your point across by not being such an @ss!


I dont wish to continue this battle or read your next post's. Remember this is the sax forums! Lets just end it please!

Sure1234:

1. Inane is a word and was used correctly. Feel free to look it up. (Note the insane vs. inane comment has been removed by an author above.)

2. If something or someone upsets you in the forum, consider that perhaps that was not the author's intent. To assume otherwise is usually very embarrassing, especially when you have to apologize later.

3. Writing is a skill that, once developed, will help you throughout your life. If someone tells me that what I said is unclear, I assume it is my problem to fix, not the reverse. Try to be clear, concise and complete in your transmissions. There will be fewer problems for you and the SOTW readers if you write well. Someone once said, "Had I more time I would have written less." He was a wise man.

4. If you feel you must curse to get your point across then perhaps you are participating on the wrong forum. We have readers of all ages and sensitivities. We will not accept unnecessary abuse, cursing, or spite from a member of the forum. Feel free to read the SOTW rules if you have further questions about these policies.

Note: I took out the quote attribution to Mark Twain as I can't confirm that is correct.

Points taken. I apologize if any words I used offended anyone :roll: . I said what I felt at the time and have no remorse or regrets for that matter.

Anyways, I am using a C* for concert music and my rj 45 for more jazz. There's still some element in my Yani A 901 that I am missing to get the tone I want. I've been trying dif. mouth pieces and reeds but im getting the impression its the sax causing the problem. I plan to take it into a tech. Ill let you all know how it turns out!

You can also try a friends horn to see if it's the horn or the player. Since so much of the sound is based on finding a mouthpiece that works for you, maybe you can also try some other mouthpieces. Some say the joy is in the journey. :)
