First off, modern recordings smooth out sound quite a bit. If you listen to older recordings from the 40s / 50s / 60s before digital mastering became mainstream, you'll notice very few people have...

Awesome. I played an ESP once and thought it was gorgeous, however I wanted something a little brighter, so I figured Id check out the DV.

Spending that kind of money always makes me uneasy...

The wallet. It burns :shock:

Oh well, hopefully it'll arrive nice and quickly and I'll come back and let you all know how it feels / sounds for me.

Anyone else with positive experiences from...

The Mouthpiece is a Bari WTII. I have another one that Im currently playing that I love, and I got this one just to have as a backup.

Hey all, quick question.

I've got a metal alto piece that isn't wide enough for the reeds I play. (Vandoren ZZs and Rico Select Jazz)

The piece chirps constantly because the reeds hang over the...

Bari WTII 6 on Alto
Link STM 7 on Tenor

I used to be a lip-over-bottom-teeth player. Played that way for 14 years. Decided I didn't like it anymore, switched to the "Fat Lip" embouchure, feels much better and gives me a fuller sound.

Hey guys, just wanted to drop in and speak up about an absolutely great mouthpiece company that doesn't seem to get a ton of recognition.

I picked up the Bari WTII at the recommendation of a good...

The problems with the G1 neck were for Tenor, not alto I believe.

You've got a decent rhythm section, the groove is solid and lays right in the pocket.

The first sax is a bit nasal, could use a more open tone (but thats just my personal preference)

The chart...

My main alto is an 82Z, and It happened to take a dive off a piano (another story in and of itself), anyways, I needed to replace the neck (thank god the rest of the horn was ok, no damage 8-) )

Awesome, Thanks guys.

So, switching to a JJESP, Taking Jody's advice Im going to check out some Rico Jazz Selects. What would be the comparative RJS to a Vandoren ZZ 2.5 ?

the #5, #6, #7 ect. is the Tip Opening (Distance between the tip of the mouthpiece and the tip of the reed) a larger number is a larger opening. Each company has its own facing charts though, theres...

Hehe, I played the Tableaux for my audition. First, Second, and Third movements.

The 4th movement is harder than you think, make sure its musical, not just technically correct. Anywho...

In...

Major
Minor (Natural, Harmonic, Melodic)
Modal (Lydian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Phyrigian, Locrian) [Ionian and Aeolian don't count ;) ]
Whole Tone
Diminished
Augmented
Be-Bop (b7, #4, #5)

You would have to break the join between the chainlink and the screw plate, and then cut the chain yourself and reattach it.

Would probably ruin the lig.

Rapid Improvement ? Naw nothing is rapid about improving your ability to master an instrument. If you want rapid improvement, give up playing music.

Day 1 - Tone / Technique / Repertoire

Meyer Medium Chamber #5.

Probably cost you about $80. Itll take more air than you'll probably be able to blow through it at this point, and it'll work with your horn just fine. Suited well for...

Haha, After reading areas post, I went back and re-read what you wrote boston. Apologies from me, as I seemed to have though you were using this for CD recordings, not playing live. If you're playing...
