What mouthpiece ?

mamasiga — Thu, 23 May 2013 00:59:43 GMT

Hi guys,
I have just bought BW bronze AI sax.
I am wondering if the supplied mouthpiece is good enough for a beginner, or should I better buy Yamaha mouthpiece?

If I should go for Yamaha, what model would be the right ? 4c, 5c ?
With original ligature?

Beside Yamaha, do you have some other recommendation?

Thank you.

Conn-ten-plating selling my Conn10M

Saxnoob — Thu, 23 May 2013 00:30:24 GMT

Howdy guys,
I have had my 10M for 18months and it plays nicely on good condition pads. From 1946 with RTH 318###. Silver with a gold wash bell. The sax is in good shape for its vintage with no obvious dents. What sort of money are these going for at the moment? What I payed for it, may be different to what they are going for now.

I am not going to rush into selling the horn, just mulling over my options.

Thanks for any input.

FS: Brancher B alto and sop mouthpieces

elmiguel — Wed, 22 May 2013 23:43:51 GMT

•Brancher B24 alto mouthpiece. Approx. .094" tip opening. Similar beak profile and sound to a Dukoff D, but with much better build quality. "Black Silver" plated finish. One tiny spot where the plating came off on the top of the mouthpiece, but everything else about it is in fantastic condition. Original gold ligature and cap included. Asking $200. I also have a Rovner Versa + cap that fits this piece perfectly for an additional $30.

•Brancher B21 sop mouthpiece. Approx. .082" tip opening. Also very similar to a Dukoff D with much better build quality. Despite what it looks like, this piece isn't too bright; the baffle is most likely offset by the rather large tip opening. I bought this from a fellow SOTW user about a year ago. There is discoloration of the black silver plating that was there when I received it, but it's not actually physical "wear". Original fabric Brancher ligature included, but no cap. Asking $180.

I've moved to Aaron Drake mouthpieces on alto and sop so I no longer play these. They're both extremely well made, and the black silver finish looks pretty cool, too! Shipping from San Diego to U.S. addresses via USPS is included. Email or PM for more pictures.

FS: Tenor Phil-Tone Equinox 7*

copipd — Wed, 22 May 2013 22:40:15 GMT

For sale is a tenor Phil-Tone Equinox 7* (.105) mouthpiece. It is in excellent condition with no tooth marks. Always played with a patch. Some very minor ligature scratches, so minor that they won't show up in the pics. I've played it for about a year, can't remember for sure when I bought it from Phil. I won't type a description of how it sounds since there are so many reviews on this website. It is very easy to play and is probably the best mouthpiece I have had for keeping the upper palm keys in tune. I've decided to go with a darker sounding mouthpiece and can't afford to keep them both, although I thought about keeping both for a while. It comes with an inexpensive metal ligature. Price is $175 plus $8 shipping and you pay Paypal fees. Thanks for looking.
I have tried to upload pictures but with no success. I can email you photos or could someone help me to upload my photos. I've done it before with no problems. Thanks

Good LA sax repair people?

Michael Foster — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:39:18 GMT

So I'm going to be in LA for a few weeks and could use a good repair guy. I play a conn 30m so someone with experience and ideally no attitude problems.

I've used Horn Connection before with varying results. He can get the job done but is notorious for his attitude and demeanor. I'm fine using the guy but anywhere else? Somewhere I don't need to leave the horn overnight and does repairs on the spot.

Baxter Northup I remember being solid but is this still the case?

Thanks! Last threads I saw on the issue are about 3-4years old.

not progressing - please help

Rockandrollaz — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:39:06 GMT

hello fellows, just a little bit of frustration as my situation is a little stuck, I practice but I don't see any progress..
a little recap, learned to play the tenor sax when I was 15, my dad bought one, and I was playing it more often (and better) than he ever did..

I learned very quickly how to make it sound nice, the chromatic scale, all major scales, and just played along Stan Getz records which I loved at the time, as well as Coltrane, Miles, Benny Golson etc..

then left it until this year, as I turned 40 I felt the urge to go back to it, and with a couple of lucky strikes, got a King Zephyr from '54 and an amazing Tone Edge 8* (I think it's an Early Babbitt, the seller obviously didn't) that sounds really good, (after trying V16, STM and a couple more Tone Edge's 8 - not working for me).

now I see a teacher once a week, he plays really good, proper jazz musician, and I had to learn how to play better, with a metronome, all scales all over the instrument extension, all Dorian scales (major starting on 2nd grade) and arpeggios of all chords (minor, with the 9th), I also practiced all dominant 7th chords, walking back and forth the cycle of fifths.

I would like to learn how to improvise, I spend a lot of time doing scales, chords, long notes, but I cannot even find any ideas on billie's bounce, I can more or less play the archaic blues (F-Bb-F-F-Bb-Bº-F-F-C-Bb-F-C) but end up playing the same things all the time..

I can pretty much play All of Me, following the chord progression, but I get pretty much stuck where I am. I have a lot of time to practice, and I simply don't know what to do to progress..

any ideas/suggestions?

thanks
(end of rant)

Putting It All Together

SuperSaxED — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:04:31 GMT

I'm a relative beginner; I've been playing Tenor for about 2 1/2 years. I know a number of things in isolation: major, minor and pentatonic scales, arpeggios, chord structure, modes, and I read music. Even with that data base of understanding, I can't put it all together. What I mean is, I don't understand how scales and chords and modes all come together to allow one to create improv. For example, what does it mean when a melody is being played in a certain key, and there are various chord symbols over each measure; how does the key, and chords relate to what I would play improvisationally? How do different modes fit into the picture. Please help with foreign language interpretation. Thanks.

Standards/harmonic structures behind Greg Fishman's duets and/or etudes

jlima — Wed, 22 May 2013 14:37:51 GMT

I know that Greg Fishman, like several other jazz educators, uses some songs/standard forms as a basis for writing his own etudes and duets. Does anybody have a list of what actual songs are on the basis of these? For example, I am working on the Jazz Saxophone Duets book right now (an excellent book, by the way) and I would love to know what standard each duet is based on. Greg names all of his songs after Chicago streets and avenues, so that doesn't help much. I can figure out that "Columbus Drive" is actually Rhythm Changes in G and that "Lake Shore Drive" is based on the harmonic structure of "There Will Never be Another You", but I can't quite figure out, for example, where "North Avenue" or "Ohio Street" are coming from. Any help, in relation to this or any other of Greg's books (yes, I have them all!) is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

FS/FA: Brilhart Hard Rubber Personaline Alto Mouthpiece

Uwe Steinmetz — Wed, 22 May 2013 11:29:48 GMT

Since I switched to a modern alto I let some of my treasured vintage mouthpieces go.
This is one I had been looking for for quite some time, a Brilhart HR Personaline,
Brilharts top model and as Theo Wanne wrote, one of the best mpcs ever made -
certainly a good endorsement, and I agree, it has the darkest and most "resonant" / even
sound of all Brilharts I have ever owned, and I had another HR Personaline that played just
like this one - so there is - at least for me - something special going on with the HR Personalines.

This one is in original conidtion, has no serial number and has a larger chamber, tip opening around 0,82,
blows freely on the darker side of the spectrum, I used Vandoren 2,5 blue box and Jazz ZZ reeds.

It has NO CRACKS and no damages.

I am looking fo a straight sale but consider all trade offers for other alto mpcs.

I am happy to sell it for 300 US Dollars, worldwide shipping included.
Have a great musical day. Uwe.

How about Iggy Pop, The Clash, Boy George, Culture Club, and hitting Number One?

John Barrow, tenor sax player with The Swinging Laurels, has written a fascinating book, "How NOT To Make it In The Pop World".

John's book is an insightful guide to the dream driven, roller coaster, shark filled world of rock n’ roll. How against all odds, a young sax player’s dreams came true, BUT with one large price.

The review we did with John for SOTW is available here:

The hits of The Swinging Laurel are finally available in digital format on Bandcamp.com. They kindly donated an mp3 track to SOTW's fundraising collaboration with the New Orleans Musician Relief Fund after the Katrina disaster.

Whoa! Major attack of the squeakies!

jim22 — Wed, 22 May 2013 00:43:10 GMT

I've been working on learning clarinet and alto sax for the past year or so, and starting just a few days ago I started alternating practicing days between the two. Each time I pick up the clarinet, after playing sax the prior day, I get a major attack of the squeakies in the second register. I presume its my voicing at fault, but I'm tempted to blame it on rather old soft reeds. It does seem that playing sax has strengthened my embouchure. On the sax I'm trying to relax it a bit, but I think I need to go up in reed strength on the clarinet. I'm playing vandoeen 2.5s on clarinet, but can only manage 1.5s on the sax.

I am taking lessons BT, and I'm primarily a flutist and an engineer.

Another Auality Overhaul by JFM Woodwind

harrynguyen — Tue, 21 May 2013 23:04:31 GMT

I just received my Buescher alto completely overhauled from John. This is the second horn John rebuilt for me. (first one was the 6M)
It looks and plays great. I opted for the dark antique bare brass finish and black Roo pads that John recommended, and really love how it came out.
The key works are fast and light on this horn. It plays very well in tunes with the dark vintage sound. I can play from pp to ff entire range of the horn easily.
I highly recommend his workmanship if you need any work done on your saxophones.

Trio with a small drum kit, accordion, and tenor. Playing polka and drinking songs. They did a pretty roaring take on Message in a Bottle. Large drunk crowd went nuts.

My intentions?

1) To play well enough to get asked back

2) Learn heaps

3) Have a killer time

What makes for a good sub? How do I go from here to making this gig go off well in September?

Thanks for your time in replying

Peace
Bright

Hello All. I'd like to trade my Jody 7 DV tenor piece for a 6. If anybody has one please contact me ASAP. The piece is in great playing condition. Has the usual cosmetic scratches from use. The piece would ship from TX. Thanks.

Naked Lady Alto

cbogner — Tue, 21 May 2013 20:30:18 GMT

I have a Naked Lady Conn alto sax, #M260356A. It has what I believe is a New York neck, nice sweet sound. The body smelled so bad I very carefully stripped off the lacquer and repadded it. I have since moved on to a Selmer Series III alto. Don't play the Conn any more, what would be a fair price for such an animal?
My tenor is a King Zephyr. When I got it, it had been sitting in a closet for 20-30 years. Nice horn.

420 Tenor sale. Each is $420 plus actual cost of FedEX from Washington state.(99207) to be determined by buyer location. Paypal personal or a check upon clearing
Firm prices.

All these horns are in good playing condition and have great tone. Some are not the prettiest. Some don’t have modern ergos. Cases are good for shipping and storage unless noted.

#1 Vito Beaugnier. Completely repadded and playing very well. It has a few resolders and minor dings.Lac is about 80%. Great tone.

#2 York Master, dated to 1949 if the online charts are right.
The bell appears very Buescher like and it sounds very much like a Buescher to me. However the keywork is more like a Malerne. Key work is nickel plated and so is the neck. The lower stack is repadded and the upper is in good shape. Some new corks.
A couple resolders and minor dings.
It’s a pretty good looking horn and fun to play.

#3 German Gaylord. Its stamped Germany USSR Occupied. Also USVA. Rolled tone holes. Eloborate engraving. Repadded and corked in 2006 and played only a few hours since. Very powerful sound. Obvious similarities to other German horns, probably dates to right after the war. No front F rocker but the posts, rod and key touch are there. So it could be added easily. This horn has a great altissimo. Great rock horn.

#4 New Chinese horn, Selmer copy. Made in the same place as RSR horns. The stock neck on most Chinese horns is a problem. I upgraded this with a CE winds neck and now it plays great. It needs one roller on the low Eb key touch. About a $5 part
