Message: <blockquote data-quote="teen37" data-source="post: 642623" data-attributes="member: 3564"><p>Thanks Pete, I haven't played a gig for some years and it was reggae style music the band played, which was way out of my comfort zone, not really my style at all and you are totally right about having a struggle to fit "our sound" to certain types of music.  My style didn't fit reggae at all so I struggled with the whole set but got through it tolerable OK 🤷 </p><p>I realise my playing ability needs to improve and I'm working on that, I have gotten a little rusty for sure. And I also realise that any horn is only as good as the player, but I'm also hearing differences in how these horns sound and recognising what sound I prefer to hear myself. I also realise this can change with moupiece and reed choice. </p><p></p><p>At the moment I'm playing for myself at home but I am trying to wiggle my way in to a couple of bands just to try and keep me on my toes, although I'm not overly keen on the genre of music they play tbh.  Maybe I'll start my own band/ practice group 🤔🤷 </p><p></p><p>Anyway, guys, I apologise,.... I feel with my curiosity about certain horns I've opened a can of worms here. Not my intention at all, just voicing my thoughts/questions out loud is all. </p><p></p><p>I appreciate all your thoughts and advice/experience here 🙏</p></blockquote><p></p>
