oh....I wish to clarify a little bit. The Cheong is a metal mouthpiece and the Aizen is a HR.

Still trying the Stan's and so far, I am really happy with it because it gives me another set of tune...

After I listened to the demo played by Steve, I can't control myself but buy one immediately and it arrived yesterday.

As a fan of Stan Getz, I buy it not because it can help me to imitate his...

Thank you so much Diskman! I have just started playing saxophone since 2005. Still standing outside the house of jazz, looking inside, and hopefully one day I can step into it with confident.

Hi all,

Just want to share my first on stage performance with my teacher to you.

My Vito (Mark VI stencil) uses plastic doom resonator.

Hi Lindelund,

I hope this reply is not too late.

I think that is true because mine is 06775***, which should be made around
Jun 1977. Hope that it's helpful.

hi segaleon,

FYI, I repadded my Vito-Yanagisawa (Mark VI stencil) Soprano using Saxgourmet pad
with Plastic Doom resonator. And I repadded my Tenor using RooPad with Plastic Doom
resonator and...

Hi HSkid & others,

I attach my findings about RooPads and Saxgourmet pad in this message.
I hope that is useful. FYI, I use the Z-Gun Shellac Gun from MusicMedic to do
the repadding. And I use...

Yes, my Vito-Yanagisawa stencil of Mark VI has this problem too. I didn't realize that the "small" octave pad would close for octave C#. Then my friend noticed that and fixed for me. So, not sure if...

Thank you so much for all your information.
I brought the horn (Vito) to my friend who is a professional tech in my town for checking. He said that there is only a few pad replacement. The overall...

I do not have the problem when using LT Guardala Studio and ZZ #2-1/2 reed. Maybe it's worth to try it. :)
What is the ligature of your mpc? I use the Selmer 401 (for Alto) ligature.

Thank you so much for all your information.
I'm still searching for Kustom, Martin, and Artist on the web. It seems that it's not easy to find this horn. :)

First, I'm sorry that if I'm late to join the conversation. :)

I just got a Vito soprano from ebay. To my understanding, it's a stencil of Mark VI made by Yanagisawa in 1977. I purchased that...

I got my RPC 90R alto mpc around 2 months ago.

To answer harmonizerNJ's questions, firstly, I tried to find a mpc that can help me to get the high notes easily and at the same time still provide...

Yes, I absolutely concur this. Since my tune in alto is the worst, I definitely will spend more time on it. Without trying my friend's mpc, I thought that I could not control well because 100% of my...

Hi saxmanjack,

Thanks to your advice. Yes, I like the "Guardala-like" mpc, because I can hit the notes without any effort. This gives me some relief that "I cannot hit the high F/F# solely because...

Yes, I agree that practicing long tones should help me a lot. I am looking forward to playing the RPC mpc when it arrives. :D

Hi all,

I just discussed with Ron and placed an order of his RPC for Alto (90R).
And I would like to ask your opinion about some comparison between RPC alto
(90R) and Selmer Metal Jazz (F)...

Hi all,

I would like to ask/confirm a part of double tonguing.

As my own understanding, the "tu" is to "leave" the tip of the tongue from the tip of the reed so that the first sound can be...

I see...thank you so much. :)
