That's the beauty of free will. Ultimately, you just have to rely on your own conscience.

Why would vendor agreements need to be confidential? I find this more than a little concerning. Are these saxophones made by 8-year-old children in a Southeast Asian sweatshop?

No, but I'm thinking this thread might be.

Very possibly . . . but I'd have to go with the nickel silver.

She really does start to cook, doesn't she? You get a hint of it just before the guitar solo, and then she starts laying it down right afterwards. And then she just keeps going. She's not just...

Personally, I'm not much of a smooth jazz fan. I don't really like the music, but I do appreciate the talent. Our local "smooth jazz" station plays nothing but "muzak" and "easy listening" pap, so...

I got a Slant Supreme a couple of weeks ago. I don't like it . . . I LOVE it! I don't know what a genuine vintage slant plays like, and I don't care. All that matters to me is that this Mouthpiece...

I didn't like the presentation at all. Are we supposed to believe that this "guest saxophonist" has never seen or heard of Goodson's "saxello/saxcello"? He marvels at it, holds it with reverence,...

I see it spelled two different ways: saxello and saxcello. In fact, Goodson spells it both ways on his Youtube-o-mercial (the title and on the opening credits). I'm guessing one may have been...

I think Sax Man posted that a year ago. It looks like his one and only post. I guess he found what he was looking for.

I hate to sound U.S.-centric, but do you have a Boys and Girls Club in Ontario? If so, you could see about setting it up through them. They would even provide the facility and a certain amount of...

Dexter Gordon playing "Darn That Dream" on his "Ballads" CD. That's the tone that does it all for me, and the tone that I can't get out of my head.

Uh oh . . . a NEW FL lig? I thought this was going to be easy! Thanks for the tip, Razzy.

Thanks, Milomo. Was that for metal, HR, or both?

I thought I would try reviving this thread instead of starting a new one.

My question is: Has anyone tried these two ligs (Optimum and Ultimate) side-by-side?

The reason I ask is this: I...

"Zen and the Art of Saxophone Repair." Hey, it worked for Robert M. Pirsig!

Very true. But I think Mugger wanted to know what materials are good to practice with.

But time is neither "material" nor "a material."

I don't like spending an entire practice session on just one thing. So as far as materials go, I would say scales or chord books (like Joseph...

My 82-year-old neighbor died last week. He had an amazing collection of tools in his workshop. His 80-year-old widow has no interest in tools, and I know she does not have an internet connection. ...

You took the words right out of my mouth.
