i'm new here, so let me first give a little background/introduction :P

My name is Mathieux, i'm a senior in highschool, I am a bassoonist and saxophonist. This year, instead of making all-state orchestra again on bassoon, i wanted to try out on alto and bari sax.
I finally got the audition music today, but my band director didn't mention anything funky about the music or any instructions or anything, so I assumed everything was normal.
When I took it home, i noticed that some of the notes are just X, like, the notehead itself is an X. Someone said that this is a "ghost note" where you finger it but don't play it, but looking at the music, and the melodic line, it just doesn't make any sense. I was wondering if anybody has ever played this piece, or knows anything about it.

thanks!

I've been a storm chaser for over fourteen years now. This year and 2008 have been my best years so far. I'm attaching a photo from May 22 near Bowdle, South Dakota, that you might enjoy. It was one heck of a wild day that day.

Anyone else here into storm chasing?

Very similar to a Couf Suberba I. Rolled tone holes, pads still have plenty of life left. Subtones like a dream, wonderful fat tone a singer and wailer of a horn. I had the strap ring moved down the body about 1" for better balance/ergonomics. Also have a silverplated Ton Kooiman Forza thumbhook. I'd say the lacquer is around 75%. Comes with a Gator contoured case.

I'm only selling because I prefer to have a more modern horn with a F# to back up my P Mauriat 66RUL.

Asking price is $900.00 + actual shipping. Horn will ship from zip code 39503

I have tried more mpcs in the last year than I care to think about and have delt with mostly pretty good people but Aaron has really gone the extra mile. I now play his Resin/ceramic jazz & contemorary on Alto, Contemporary II on tenor and a modified Crossover 1 on bari. I was really impressed with the consistency of response, evenness of sound and intonation across the different horns. If you play one horn and one mpc you can get used to about anything but if you double on all four horns having a consistency in mpcs is just one less problem to deal with. At the price point they are offered you're hard pressed to do better, price aside, they play as good as the best mpcs out there. ]]> General Mouthpiece Discussion ekim4 http://forum.saxontheweb.net/showthread.php?144615-Aaron-Drake-Mpcs Who can make this? http://forum.saxontheweb.net/showthread.php?144614-Who-can-make-this&goto=newpost Thu, 09 Sep 2010 02:14:24 GMT I'm having my Big B bari restored, but with one problematic mod. I want a key guard on the bell keys where none existed before (an issue with these horns) so that I'm not closing them with my leg on the control rods. That said, I'd like it to look like it came from the factory this way in 1953, so the only thing to do is copy the Series 1 key guards (make sense?).

My neighbor that makes $6k 35mm camera bodies in his backyard workshop volunteered to machine the central post of the wheat stalk (for a bottle of wine, no less), but he's taking a REALLY looooooong time getting around to it and I'd like to get this done.

What I'm talking about doing is machining an "acorn" on to both ends of two 4 1/2" by 3/16" brass rods like on the series 1 'Crat tenors and altos. Then I'll get them installed on the horn with the approprate additional curvy bits so that it looks right.

Anyone out there able to do this? Pics and a diagram of what I want to accomplish are attached.

You know where right where it drops off, that part? Some of those are curved (Theo Wanne Durga, e.g) and some are angled (Jumbo Java, e.g.)

Does this affect the sound? I was thinking that the rounded ones are a bit ballsier (I hear you all who are snickering and going 'That's what she said!') and the angled ones are buzzier. ]]> General Mouthpiece Discussion stradivarius151 http://forum.saxontheweb.net/showthread.php?144610-Step-baffles Rumors http://forum.saxontheweb.net/showthread.php?144609-Rumors&goto=newpost Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:10:40 GMT That P.

A very powerful and responsive player similar to the large chamber model but with more cut and brightness. This will work in situations where the larger chamber pieces are just too dark and tend to get buried. A very authoritative piece that you can lean into and get surprising force out of.
Just a great playing piece.
