Can anyone recommend good books, sites, etc. that explain some of the technical aspects of saxophones? I've played since high school, but I really never...
Hi Warren, Visit http://www.shwoodwind.co.uk/index.htm run by repair technician Stephen Howard. It's very well written and has some fun Brit humor when the...
Only to know...one of my best friends (she`s a girl) plays Tenor sax and always says that there are few girls that love and play that instrument. I always tell...
I think hat women are not at all immune from the seducion of the Tenor Sax. I have wanted to play one since I saw one played in Paris when I was 10. However,...

I am considering a CB Pro Tenor. The dealer only has a couple of models but can order anything I want. Since I can't play them all... What can you folks say...
My ESPX facing is a 7. It has a very rich sound all through the sax and big projection. The altissimo notes speak effortlessly. It just works for me. By...
I bought a T5-B [black nickel tenor]. Side by side with my 1926 Conn, it's a bit brighter and hands down better intoned and much smoother in its ergonomics....
Hi Alan, I have to fully agree with you. I have the Jody Jazz ESP Gold for my Cannonball Curved Soprano I play at church. With my wireless mic setup, the...
... I've played a number of Cannonballs (I own 4 of them) and can say that in my opinion, silver plate is bright (think Kirk Whalum); black nickel is heavier,...
I didn't quite get that it is different, but it's fully untreated. The wide opinion that I've heard is that untreated [unplated with nickel or silver or even ...
Hi Ralph, I love my ESP 6 for my tenor CB. I play a nice Selmer soprano, but I find I have to use the C* classical mouthpiece, 4 strength reeds, and use an...
Hello and thanks for posting your question. It's really too bad that your dealer could not have at least a couple in stock. I tried several finishes of CB...
Hi Jim, I tried to get the ESP 7* facing but Jody didn't have it at the time so I chose the 6. I use a 2.5 size Hemke reed. The mouthpiece is a joy to play...
I checked the website, because I thought I had read it somewhere there. It is on the "tour" under "brass alloy and power forged keys." "All of the alloys we...
Sharp eyes, JD - thanks for pointing that out. That old-style brass also develops a greenish patina after oxidizing a few years. Lovely [NOT] stuff. I'm all...
... Yeah. Allison (my Mad Meg) is getting a little "green around the gills" already (I guess it comes from grabbing her neck to get her in and out of her box...
... If you ask these questions at alt.music.saxophone, you should get some help if you don't get it here. If your ISP doesn't give you access to newsgroups,...
With the interest for more technical aspects of sax playing you seem to have, I think your best start would be a good private instructor. Perhaps there's one...
I remember going to Jazz Band camp at Perdue University some time ago. Anyway, this girl was 2nd tenor sax in the top band and one particular song the guy on...
