I know that he has played Yamaha's, LA saxes, and Selmers, but I do not know what his mouthpiece/reed setup has been. You're not trying to emulate his tone are ya?:D

I thought I heard that he played a Berg at one or two of the public performances but don't quote me.

I believe he switched to Hormonica awhile back.

He plays that popular tune 'DownTrou'.

My cousin Bill plays whatever he thinks will make him look cool....

I guess he thought a Berg would make him look cool that day:

Not sure of his tenor set-up, but his cigar humidor raised a few eyebrows......

I'll bet Bill has a whole closet full of complimentary saxes, mouthpieces and everything else - here's a colourful one from LA Sax (http://www.usd.edu/smm/clinton.html).

I'm surprised he wasn't signed up as an endorser by a certain Southern gentleman... ;)

I saw an episode of Elvis Costello's interview show, "Spectacle", the other day where he interviewed Bill Clinton. They talked about music mostly and Bill did talk about his collection of saxophones (but not about reeds or mouthpieces). He said his main horn is a Selmer "Cigar cutter". He has a number of vintage saxophones including two Adolphe Sax horns. The series is on the Sundance Channel and the Clinton episode is season 1, episode 3.

Did he smirk when he said that?
