Introduction Ding dong

Hi, I'm a new member but not new to playing saxophone. I've spent many years learning that it's very hard to make it all come together in a perfect match..

Hi, welcome

Welcome to the Café!

It's not the match that counts, it's the journey. 😉

Welcome to the café, tell us more about the sax you play 😁

I have a Yamaha YTS-25 tenor that I bought almost 30 years ago, and a Slade (cheap Chinese alto with a fantastic sound) that I've played for about four years now. On top of that I have a variety of mouth pieces ranging from ebony and plastic to metal. I use 2.5 reeds both cane and synthetic. I have a small rehearsal/recording studio in my house in southwest France equipped with my ageing drum kit, keyboards, guitars (electric and bass), Behringer speakers and mics (both for horns and drums), Tascam mixer and a well-proportioned PA system. I'm a retired movie director now running software businesses remotely in the UK, and although I did a lot of drumming gigs in my youth, I somewhat regret that I wasn't more serious about pursuing playing saxophone for a living, too. That's me, what about you?

I currently play sop YSS62. I also have an alto bought when I was struggling with sop due to tennis elbow. I rarely play alto at the moment but might pick it up again one day.
