I only just discovered this forum (better late than never)......some may know me as AG from SOTW, but here I am ATG. I am 63, have attempted to play the saxophone on & off since 1959, and I think I might be getting a little better at it. hopefully before I pass on I may actually be able to play it, lol.
bear with me while I try to get my bearings here & find my way around. I look forward to participating & if I do something wrong then please, somebody point it out to me. when I do try to play it's on a very nice early Selmer MKVII alto I bought as new/old stock back in 2000 when I started playing again after a 27 yr layoff.....having sold my old long bow VI alto back in the early 70's. for me, even after playing a VI for yrs, this VII alto is an excellent horn and in my particular case suits me as well or better as the VI did.
my hobby is finding old saxes (ones I really like) at a reasonable price & restoring them to playing condition. I know a fantastic sax tech locally who gives me a very good price on the work or I couldn't afford it. in any case thanks for opening the door & allowing me to come in. I hope I can contribute something worthwhile from time to time.
