Been playing a while, thought I'd finally join.

I'd love to know what year mines from. It wasn't new when I got it. I do know it's one of the older models though as it has pearl keys, I think they switched to plastic on the later models. I keep meaning to email yamaha to ask them the date.

I found out the date of my Yamaha bari by emailing Yamaha customer support with model and serial number.

Thank very much for that. I've just emailed them. I've always wanted to know.

Nice video and welcome, I live over in Heywood so not to far away from you, although very new to sax...as in 3 days ago haha

Mike, has Tony told you about his gig at the Black Bull, Langho on 27th March. I intend to go and it's not a million miles from where you live.

Cheers Mike, I'm new here myself, seems a very friendly place though. Well done on taking the plunge, the sax is a fantastic instrument. I'm sure you'll love it.

I think Kevs tempted to join you

The more the merrier, Tony said, so am I to look forward to seeing either or both Kevs? (For Tony's information, Trimmy's real name is Kev and while Langho's a bit of a haul from the Pool of Life, it's not out of the question. Germany probably is.

 

[Roy_Cropper]

That would be fantastic, I've never met any other sax players on a gig, then all at once there's two or three, great stuff. Just had another gig come in if anyone's interested. It's with the girl and guitarist that were in the video I put up, playing that kind of stuff. It's at the Withy arms in Leyland on Thursday 24th. Just putting it out there in case the other ones not makeable.

Reminds me of a sign on the back of a minibus operated by a childcare company: "No children left in this vehicle overnight".

Haven't heard that for a long time.

Now Prof, you have the honour of explaining it.
