I just bought an F# pearl for my tenor from Music Medic which was relatively inexpensive and easy to install. They're knowledgable over there - I would recommend going to their web site,...

Okay, so if coffee is "acceptable" if drunk black (apart from the slight tanning effect on the pads), what other drink(s) are "acceptable?"

I know water is acceptable and seeing as there are...

Okay, I'm going to add my single-point personal experience to the mix.

First, I'm not a technician and as such, will lend credo to Gordon's comment about the need for proper conditions of keypad,...

Here in Buffalo, NY $400 is a good price for a standard overhaul from a reputable tech. Please note, by "standard", I mean that the horn is currently playable and doesn't require special attention -...

Saxmoose: I may have worded this wrong. I don't know for sure whether WD-40 or rubbing alcohol will damage silver plating. I assumed the work was being done on the inside (unplated) part of the...

I would suggest doing a search on this forum using the keywords "rust" and/or "corrosion". You'll find a lot of useful information.

My suggestion is to carefully remove the key. Get inside the...

My favorite part of the whole ad is the header: "Wonderful Buescher Saxophone" (I shouldn't be cruel - the poster makes it clear early-on that he is not a sax player and knows nothing about them).
...

Folks,

I found this on ebay and it aroused my curiosity. While I know the bell can be detached from the body of the sax, I have never seen anyone create a hinge system for it. Intuitively, I...

MartinMusic,

I use a Boss GT-6 I found on Ebay for under $200. It has a good harmonizer function along with a lot of other effects - from wild to subtle. It even has a rudimentary synth...

I use a strap along the same lines as well for my tenor (you may actually see it in my avatar if you look really closely with a magnifying glass :D). I like it a lot. It's great for those long gigs...

Apparently I gave out misguided information. Sorry about that - the earlier posts didn't indicate the need for anything special.

Gordon makes a good point (as he usually does) about Teflon - it is rigid and it would make sense that it's noisy.

If you're still interested in finding it, another source to look at is...

I have been using a Boss/Roland Micro BR.

It retails for $229 USD on Musicians' Friend but I found mine for...

I had a pad fall out of my sax once in my naive/stupid days. I was living in Vermont and left my sax in the trunk when the temperature was about -15F outside. I also had a neck cork break off in my...

Lamplight,

Thanks for the advice. My midi pedal died after someone knocked the power supply off the stage so I decided to try to find a new setup (I wanted a harmonizer and a wah - two things my...

Well once again, thanks for all the advice.

I ended up purchasing a used Boss GT6 based on suggestions from other threads. My midi pedal died on me and I decided that for the price of a "new"...

Gene,

I only know what I've read about the Vocalive - I have never played with one. Since it doesn't require special pickups for the guitar I would assume it would recognize a keyboard chord. ...

It must have had its protective cap on it.:D

There has to be more to this story ... but I'm not sure I want to know:shock:

If you have a mixer lying around the house, feed the mic into the mixer and use either the "Tape Out" with an RCA to 1/8" converter or the "Main Out" with a 1/4" to 1/8" converter and feed that into...

You can get all kinds of mic stands from Musicians Friend (www.musiciansfriend.com), www.zzounds.com, or Guitar Center (www.guitarcenter.com) for similar prices to those you've found on ebay. ...
