Do your fingers a favor and start with light gauge strings. On acoustic I like the GHS White Bronze Light (.012 - .054) or Medium (.013 - .056). They sound bright, last a LONG time (due to the alloy...

In my raging youth I used to hate it. I thought it represented the opposite of what I liked about music. But, I don't believe I'd ever heard the original, just the "elevator music" versions.

Then...

So which will make me sound exactly like Coltrane -- the $1.19 LeBlanc cork grease or the Doctor's Products "Doctor Slick Cork Treatment" for $5.95?[/QUOTE]

HOLD ON THERE! You can get Leblanc...

Second vote for the Selmer cases. I like the fact that the reeds sit on a piece of glass, not plastic so I feel it can be cleaned more reliably.

I've gotta give it up for the Bamboo Saxes. I love the gourd bells. I also like how the sound samples for most of them are just one note. You click the link, you see the Quicktime logo, and......

I thought of that the second I saw the title of this thread! I caught most of that on TCM a few months ago. He kept getting his instruments stolen, or pawned, etc. At the beginning of the movie he's...

Now that's service! Thanks Kim. :)

Odd site behavior here... when I try to go to the thread "Embarrassing tunes on iPod":

I'm subscribing to this thread just to see what happens.

And I really don't want to rain on this parade, but I hope some poor web lackey at wwbw doesn't get canned for this.

Seems like "I have bad gas" might be an appropriate tag for a WTB post...

If you want to play on the nostalgia of those "aged" 30-year-olds, try something "ancient" from their "youth" like "My Heart Will Go On" ;)

Come to think of it, I was kidding but actually that...

I'm thinking about getting my neck replaced, my sound seems a little thin. What do you think?

Tenor:
I voted Otto Link since the mpc started out that way... currently I'm using a Phil-Tone Custom Tone-Edge 5* for my tenor, which I guess is a .085

Alto:

When did Kajagoogoo start doing Hip-Hop? :D
