A few days ago, a there was a question posted that mentioned a reed strength meter. I found that there really is such a thing and ordered one to try. It was...
Just got back from GHP auditions. I think I did fairly well. I was comfortable with everyting I played. I had to sight read Ben Webster's solo on Cottontail,...
Good luck on the audition. I always thought they were challenging and figured I wouldn't make it, but I always did. I guess it's all relative to who else...
Two questions. At what part of the reed are you measuring? The strength of the reed can be adjusted along the sides around the heart. But normally one doesn't...
There is apparently a misunderstanding about selling stuff in this group which I'll try to rectify. I don't see a problem with selling a horn or related...
Hi-- Does anyone here know of a mouthpiece with big projection and a big sound? one that can be used in a school gym w/o a mic? This situation came up with me...
Grab a Bobby Dukoff "D" series. You can get one for a tenor for I'm thinking about $125 from Woodwind/Brasswind www.wwbw.com and you can probably find one on...
Some thoughts. A. Are you playing princaply in concert band? I read the beginning of jack's post where he recommended a Dukoff. A very bright and edgy piece...
Tim, It's hard to be exact since the measuring is done inside, but it looks like the measurement is taken about an inch back from the playing tip of the reed. ...
Dennis, I'm interested as to what it's actually measuring. You could say that strength is the thickness of the heart. Or you could say strength is the...
Judging by what I see inside the meter, it measures the thickness across the heart. So it may not be useful other than if you were to determine the reed ...
That's not nessesarily the case Tim. A Dukoff will play very bright and loud and edgy _IF_ that's how you want it to play but it is also very capable of...
Hope everyone had a good weekend: I've gotten my third request in several months to play for a wedding, and have already done it once. While everyone seemed ...
I'm not downing the mpc. I've tried one or two Dukkoffs and both were fairly bright. And I'm not automatically piping it down as you put it. I'm terribly sorry...
Jamie Aebersold *www.jazzbooks.com* is probably the most well known. He has a few books of ballads and such that wouldn't be bad for a wedding. The format in...
A couple of days ago I tried a used Big Bell curved soprano sax. It was being sold on consignment by a Cannonball dealer. Sounded great, except for the D on...
Bob, You're getting what's known as a multiphonic. It's where more than one note sounds at a time. It's a cool effect when used right. It's sounds to me like...
Thanks for your advice. The band was an All County Jazz group. The chart, like I've said was Esparanza (Don't know if anyone has heard of it). It is a latin...
Eggy, Terribly sorry. Here All-County is only offered in the classical field so I thought you were refering to a concert arrangement. If you get to play the...
Eggy, Terribly sorry. Here All-County is only offered in the classical field so I thought you were refering to a concert arrangement. I generally don't have...
I'm curious as to what everyone here does outside of music. Either as a hobby or profession. My main interest outside of music are somewhat nerdy. I'm into ...
Generally, school takes up whatever time is not being used for music. I have numerous AP classes, which are college level classes, along with being a member of...
You don't want an M series Dukoff - you need a D series. The M is a lot darker and probably won't give you the volume you are looking for. www.dukoff.com has...

Jack, Sounds like your church has a well developed praise band going. I'm in a small but growing church, and we're shooting for something similar over time. ...
