Introduction Ding Ding!

[Dylan]

Hi everyone

Just signed up for the forum. I've been playing tenor for more years than I care to recall, but have had a couple of extended breaks (boo). Love it and am currently trying to expand my live playing into jam sessions (gibber).

I still play the horn my mum and dad bought me all those years ago - a Lafleur with a Meyer ebonite mouthpiece - Vandoren Java 2 reeds. However, I am soon to splash out on a Yani T902 after an afternoon spent playing just about every horn currently on the market. Sure is the one for me.

Anyway, been reading your site for a couple of years Pete. Fantastic work and fantastic horn playing. Think I found it originally whilst browsing for sax exercises. Looking forward to the forthcoming CD and please could I have access to the extra pages. Keep up the good work.

Have a good week end everyone!

Dylan

Hi Dylan and welcome to the Breakfast Room. You have access to the extra pages and good luck with the Yani

Greetings Dylan,

We used to have a 'Poll' in one of the threads. "More years than I care to recall" members could log their age range/experience, but a certain 'admin' man unsticked it :whistle:

I originally wanted a Yani... but I could only spell Hanson 🙂

A good weekend to you too and welcome to the forums.

Traditional Archery eh.

I'll take that as longbow then. I did a lot of longbow archery up unitl a few years ago when archery night and music night clashed. For the time being music has won out. Used to be a member of Kendal bowmen up in the lakes.

I really miss it but can't resolve the conflict at the moment.

Do you want the poll back? No problem. I only unsticked it when it stopped getting votes.

Perhaps it's just me, but I thought it was interesting and a little confidence inspiring to know see I wasn't the only old duffer on this venture.

Ok I'll see if I can find it.

Welcome Dylan from gorgeous Cornwall. Back in Herts next week boo!

 

[Dylan]

Wow, cheers for all the replies guys. Am really looking forward to exploring and taking part in the forums, or should that be fora/fori?

Just finished playing for tonight. Sure is a hot one in London!

I hope to have the Yani in a couple of months or so. Piggy bank is not quite full enough yet. i sympathise Ken, that's why I always stick with Yani..can never remember if it is an i or a.

Greywolf - good news on the longbow. Did you ever try your hand at making one yourself? I shoot an American flatbow and make my own arrows etc. Am a member of Woodford Archers though like you music is winning at the moment.

Keep on blowing.

Time for a beer now!

Santiago, go ahead and make a new thread in this section and introduce yourself to us. You can then ask Pete for the extra pages. Howdy from a fellow guitarist.

Hi there Dylan,

I am also a member of the "extended break" club, which is always a bit of a problem when people ask "So how long have you been playing....?"

My answer is normally along the lines of "Do you mean seriously or when did I first pick a saxophone up? The answer differs depending on which you mean"

Welcome to the forum
