One should never use 'chainsaw' and 'saxophone' in the same sentence; it will only encourage those whos tonal concept is similar to the chainsaw. - Lars ... ...
Sorry, my bad. "The Music Business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs....
We ARE observing it tomorrow evening at UT Austin in the recital hall. Harvey's sax ensemble is playing a concert, after which we will have birthday cake and...
Hi everyone. I'm new to this list, and just the other day was pondering if anyone has ever made an instrument with square tone holes, and then in perusing some...
There are acoustic and mechanical reasons for round tone holes. Acoustically, any edge creates turbulence and thus loss. Mechanically, round is the strongest...
- HI there, I play many instruments....saxophone included and own a Lopatin flute. It's hard to judge the square tone hole principle with Lopatin flutes...
Manufacturing aside, I can think of a very strong "why not," and that is the physics of circles. All points are a uniform distance from a theoretical center...
It is easier to pull and spin a round tone hole from brass. Paul Kenneth Fink <kenjf@...> wrote: Manufacturing aside, I can think of a very strong "why...
It would be difficult (not impossible) to draw the tonehole up into a squarish corner without tearing it due to localized thinning. I would recommend drawing...
--All the theoretical negatives you are stating are just theoretical. Lenny Lopatin makes "soldered" square tone holes. Many years ago (he wasn't the first to...
There's no real reason you could not pull the toneholes square from a manufacturing point of view. I've thought about it a bit, and can't for the life of me...
He may be a good flute maker, but what he says is basically nonsense physically: "Like a black star sapphire, SquareONE melds these seemingly opposite ...
--Hi Toby, I can relate to your dislike for hyperbole in advertising but I am coming at this from a practical standpoint. Lenny is a performer/craftsman who...
Hi John, I am sure that Lenny is sincere, and the fact that he is both a performer and craftsman is a rare combination that surely gives him the ability to...
What is undercutting? Thanks. -K ... From: SaxophoneRepair@yahoogroups.com [mailto:SaxophoneRepair@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Toby Sent: Thursday, November...
Undercutting is done mostly on wooden instruments with thick bodies. When you drill a tone hole in the body the edges inside are sharp and at right angles to...
Is that the way bassoon holes are made, for example -Ken ... From: SaxophoneRepair@yahoogroups.com [mailto:SaxophoneRepair@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Toby ...
If it is a good bassoon I would guess so, but there is a problem with bassoon, in that many of the holes are quite long and cut on a bias, so it would be quite...
Hi John, When all is said and done, I would be very interested in trying one of Lenny's squareONE (hate the name, though) flutes. Sound production in woodwinds...
I have noticed empirically that a cork crescent on the top of a tonehole makes a much larger difference in intonation than on the bottom of the tonehole. I...
There is quite a bit of difference in saxophones, too. For example, my Super 20 tenor has toneholes (braised on) that rise straight up from the bore and are...
