Hi folks,
Novice geriatric from central NSW in Oz wanting to play sax for personal enjoyment.
Bought myself an Aquila C Tenor and am having fun (?) learning how to play.
Watch this space!!
Cheers

Big welcome from me. Quite a few guys from your neck of the woods here. Roughly speaking. Have fun.

Welcome Fossil, long may your fun last.

Welcome to the caff©, fossil.

Does this mean that Australopithecus is not extinct?

ENJOY!​™

Old git; I'll have to get back to you on that!!

You're in good company. Am another Antipodes fossil. You'll get lots of enjoyment from playing and relating to others who are doing the same.

And a welcome from me.

And at the risk of spoiling a joke, homo australopithecus never left Africa, and he lived a long time before any representative of the human race came to Australia.

And he used, what type of reeds?

Fossil must be very pleased, and possibly awed, by the learned turn his/her thread is taking.

The question of the reed type is not settled yet. Palaeontologists specialising in primitive music are still arguing the toss. A #10 made of a type of hickory seems to be the current favourite. Please don't ask about the mouthpiece.

I'd guess at cyperus papyrus, was common throughout africa, and still abundant in unspoiled wetlands. Must have made harvesting interesting, with all those crocodiles around....

Wikipedia.....fact
Living fossil is an informal term used for any living species that is apparently identical or closely resembles a species previously known only from fossils—that is, it is as if the ancient fossil had "come to life."
