Hey all. I'm pretty close to purchasing a 590 soprano, but I'm debating which of the 3 finishes to get. Is there a noticeable difference in tone or is this purely for looks? Also, does one hold up...
We're preparing to talk to him sometime this week, but we don't think it will be too hard, as he's been expressing how he doesn't want to play jazz...
EVEN THOUGH OUR BAND NAME HAS "JAZZ" IN IT!...
Hi there!
I'm a 17 year old alto player and I've been fortunate enough to be involved in a quartet (alto sax, bari sax, drums, piano) with a few of my peers. We've been a group for about a month...
Thanks for the replies! I'm glad I'm not the only one who has been in this position before...I still have a lot of thinking to do as in terms of what future role music is going to play in my life...
Hey all,
I'm a 16 (few weeks away from 17) year old alto player, high school junior and I've been playing for around 4 and a half years (piano for almost 10) and within the past year I've really...

My buddy and I do the exact same thing! I'm in the same crisis

Thanks a bunch!
Alto, sorry!
Alright, I'm in a battle between the BIONIX and Quantum mouthpieces. I'm in a funk band and I really want a brighter louder sound. The Quantum has a spoiler, but the Bionix doesn't. Although it says...
agh, sorry bout the double post there, hate it when that happens
Hehe, I myself don't play an oddball instrument, but one of my friends played flute in our jazz band this year, she was pretty good. Then we had a TUBA also in our jazz band, let me tell ya, you...
Hey all, I'm 15 years old, have been playing piano for about 6 or 7 years now. And I really want to start up a combo with two or three of my friends. They problem is, our drummer can't transport his...
