• NON-Routine maintenance

    Forum may experience some downtime today any time after 14:00 BST (or 06:00 PDT 09:00 EDT). This is due to critical PHP vulnerabilities that may be affecting the majority of websites worldwide.

    The downtime may be any time up until the release and implementation of a PHP patch to fix the issue which is now scheduled so should not be down for long.


    Update: this is currently being patched as we speak. There may be a short outage when the server is rebooted.


    Please don't panic - just take deeep breaths or go and practice.

Mouthpieces Can a mediocre horn be made into a better horn? 🤔

To buy a better sax or turn your mediocre Arbiter to a better player. That's not a big problem. When that is done the search for mouthpieces, reeds, straps ... starts????

Accept your mediocre sax and start to play. Try to play like "Getz" ..... .

I'm over 70 and I have found a way to thrives with the saxophone. I'm still a mediocre Rock & Roll Saxophone player with a long relationship with Rock & Rolll Saxophone and junk saxes. The Yani T-880 was the best sax I have owned. But it wasn't a sax för me.
 
Naw, Stephen does nothing of the sort. I spent a long time reading his reviews throughout the years, and I picked up on his utter disdain of the screw type. He's mentioned it... once or twice. The Selmer self adjusting action mechanism comes in at a distant second place. 😆
Thanks for your honesty and friendship. looks like I need to go study some of Stephen’s reviews more. One things for sure, there’s always something to learn about saxophones.
 

Similar threads... or are they? Maybe not but they could be worth reading anyway 😀
