I've been voyeuristically trolling Ebay religiously for months looking at whatever sopranos come up. Near mint stone series (the latest model) have sold...
I have to echo previously made points that: 1) Many times, you need to make sure a horn is optimally regulated (by taking it to a competent tech) before really...
For $1200, you can play a late model Yanagisawa (e.g. S990)...no comparison and I own a BB CB soprano in addition (I did not pay that much for it and it's a...
Hi Jeff. I don't know how you mean no comparison. I recently sold my Yani SC 901 so I could get a curved Big Bell CB Soprano and for my bucks the Yani did not...
Guess that it's all about opinion. I have a CB Curvy Big Bell and a Yani S990...I only use the CB in cases where I have to play miked, as it does mike much...
I love my curved CB soprano, but if I could have gotten a yani for the same price I would guess I'd have taken the Yani. My all time favorite sop is still the...
Hi all, For my first post to the group I asking for suggestions concerning the care of silver-plated horns. I've got a Big Bell alto with lacquer body,...
... have had so much trouble adjustments that lead to a personal telephone conversation with Mr. Tevis Lukaart of Cannonball. He explained that I was a wet...
To Mr. Jack Wright: Some time last year, you and I had a discussion about some continuous adjustment problems I was having with my Cannonball Tenor Sax. I got...
I put quite a bit of slobbers through a sax when I play and never had it cause me any problems at all on alto, tenor or bari. The baritone in particular...
OH WOW.... finally got my new (to me) Raven tenor in to my technician for adjustments.. I had to use it for a couple of gigs and I felt like I was fighting it...
Hello again! Two great tec's in the northeast are: Rich Vaughan at Needham Music, Needham Ma. Bill Steet in Gorham, Me. If you want to make the C-ball really...
Harry, Tell me more...........I'm assuming that you are talking about a rubber mouthpiece? I have a stone series / Hot Spur tenor. Prior to the CB, I played...
What kind of ligature are you using? I was reading about the Jumbo Java on VanDoren's website, and I see that they are suggesting a "light" reed. Are you...
Thought I would add my 2cents as I have similar setup. I play a Jumbo Java 55 on my Alto and Play 75 on my invisible Tenor..(just have a MPC for tenor right...
Thanks, I assume then that you are a Jumbo fan then too? I know what you mean about the appature opening between the reed and the tip.....the gold plated Myer...
Reeds: For awhile, I was lucky enough to be dating a guy who worked in a music store (can you say DISCOUNTS?) and stocked up on reeds. I like VanDoren reeds...
Thanks for the thoughts. The main reason I was asking is that I am seriously considering buying a Van Doren Jumbo Java to use on my Hot Spur Tenor. When going...
"Somebody" was probably taking into consideration that the T75 opening is pretty wide and aiming their comments to the lowest common denominator, IMHO, and not...
Sir!, Bill said that he would rework my stock piece, but I misplaced it and had to get a new one form scratch. Email him at billstreetsax@.... Tell him...
Thanks, I emailed Bill, told him you guys said hello, and told him (kind of ) what I was looking for. I hope this works out. I will probably try this route...
I'm going to try a rework on my stock piece first (especially since I already own two expensive metal mpc's....(probably be on ebay soon) I will really try to...
You might very well have my old college horn. Impossible to tell, but wouldn't it be funny? Ugly yeah. Good luck with the m/p hunt and i hope you do get to...
That would be very interesting............but also very unlikely............In one of my posts, I believe that I said that I purchased my King Super-20 alto...
Anyone know if the three fold zip-wallet type thing that comes with new CB horns (at least it came with mine) has a specific purpose? Or is it just whatever...
Has anyone tried the breath trainer called Eolos? A friend of mind uses it and tells me that it works great, but I'll like to know if anyone else has tried...
