I seem to have contracted a case of the DaveUKs off this forum . not for Saxes but for Clarinets .....
My new Besson
In the last week I received a rarer Hard Rubber version of the TJ Artemis for a Steal of a price (great nick including pads but needs the keywork straightening - off to Connollys I think) , today a lovely 1960s Besson "55" arrived , this is Grenadilla horn with plastic bell and barrel , the main parts are B&H Emperor I think , all made in the UK and in a nice Kinsman case... and I`ve just bought a Buffet E13 for a really good price but it may need a service (I like the B12 and fancied a wooden one) it`ll be here next week...
Playing wise I`m not a beginner chronologically but very much so in performance, I just can`t resist a good buy and love old vintage clarinets and before these I`ve got my Buffet B12 (main player) , Hanson SE , Buescher Aristocrat Resonite and of course the weird but wonderful Lyons-C ..
Weird thing is that I`ve no inclanation to gain more saxes unless a 10M wanders along at a silly price or I win the lottery , same for guitars (one Folk jumbo, one Classical, one Naff Strat copy) but Clarinets ....... Hmmmmmmmm Anyone else ? ..
