Mouthpieces Absolute passaround?

[kevgermany]

Come down to my local pub and translate with some of my pals! To name a few..... Kelly O'Clock, Diddly, Louis Suarez head, Conchita (a bloke), chance Prince Andrew head, Uncle Festa, H, Hanging Basket Head ................

That would be the Wurst thing you could do.

 

[MMM]

I was just talking about the translation Colin. Somebody said it was a good translation. I'm a translator so I was interested. It isn't a good translation, the bit I quoted doesn't make any sense.

I don't think advertising or "blurb" as you call it can really be irrelevant, if it was businesses wouldn't continue to spend so much money on it. And I would guess that the blurb is particularly important in the case of a "boutique" item like a sax mouthpiece, it's an important part of what attracts the customer to the product.

I think you made your point as a translator (I am not a translator but I made a similar remark to Borgani years ago in respect to the English used on their website, I'm not even English and it bugged me!).
But what we are saying is that a beautifully written blurb which states that a mouthpiece will improve your life no end and even make you espresso in the morning will only impress the naive: until you try it you will not know how good or bad it is, and to a lot of us that's what counts.
Now back to the Absolute pass around: when is it going to happen???

Sorry @Bernie for any offense caused

A saxophone mouthpiece isn't a boutique item. It's a tool, to do a job. .

They're not mutually exclusive.

 

[MMM]

... Anyway: when's the pass around happening?

 

[Absolute]

I'm trying to understand what models and openings may be of interest, I hope in a few days, when we defined this I can send the mouthpieces for passaround ....
I wait for your choices.

😀

Many many thanks.

alto 6*, tenor 7*

It will start when you come at my place for the coffee. Not a long time.

But the translation (and internet presence) subject deserves a thread itself.

alto 6*, tenor 7*

Exactly. And soprano 5. All resin models.
I will chuck in some pieces I have here.

But please give me some time with the ligatures. I gigged yesterday with the tenor one, and it is so good that I forgot about it.

I am likely to buy it before the passsaround starts.

I'm a translator

Any chance I can PM you with a few questions about translation work?

Sorry, everyone, nothing more to see here. Move along... 🙂

Thanks Ivan, but you didn't cause me any offence at all.

Yes of course Dave: are you thinking of taking it up?

As far as the pass around is concerned you can now count me out,as i already own 2 Absolutes and are completely GAS'ed out having also bought a Rafael Navarro Maestra alto on a recent trip to our capital.

I'd like to try a resin soprano (anything from 5 to 6). And an alto 6* please 🙂 I have a tenor AL and love it. I'm off to inspect these ligatures now 🙂

You just showing off now!

Thats why i said i was all GAS'ed out,because if i buy any more it might end in divorce,but they are all great pieces,the Navarro is on a another level,its a super piece.

 

[altissimo]

I'm still up for trying an alto 8 and a soprano 7 or 8
