It had to happen.... I have been seduced by the dreaded sax nymph... again
Having enjoyed my switch from Tenor to Alto following the earlier GAS attack just before Christmas I have now decided that the bad sounds coming out of my ageing 'cheap' Swarztschild Alto are probably not all down to the lump of flesh hanging off the mouthpiece but could be partly due to the instrument itself.
I would have loved to invest in a BW Bronze Alto but unfortunately my pensioners finances will no longer stretch even that short distance. So I have taken the plunge and having spoken to Becky at SMS have purchased the Jericho J6 Alto in Coppertone/Gold which at least means I will have a matching pair in terms of style if not maker.
Another sleepless weekend like a child waiting for Christmas as it isn't due to arrive in the wilds of Lincolnshire until Monday....
Hopefully, this is a good investment and I will be able to put up annoying recordings of Alto as well as Tenor Ballads soon.
Becky said that she hopes to be able to offer a Tenor for pass-round soon but they are flying off the shelves very fast at the moment.... 'Britain's got Saxophone Fever' ....Watch this space.
