Introduction Hello fellow sax freaks

[peter_fitton]

Hi, I'm Peter from not-so-sunny Oldham in Northern England. Been playing Alto Sax for about 2 months now and am loving every minute of it Just wish I'd started earlier 🙁

Found this site after buying Pete Thomas's excellent DVD. Great site, and the forums are very interesting and informative. Glad to meet you all.

Peter

Welcome... you are very close to Hansonland there (they are in Marsden)... have you visited?

Funny you should say that, Roger, as I'm currently lusting after buying a tenor and have just realised that Marsden is only about 25 mins drive away

I was thinking about a Trevor James or a Jupiter but from what I gather the Hansons are at least as good if not better and seem to be very competitively priced 😛 I think a trip there could be on the cards very soon!

Thanks for the welcome, guys. This seems a very nice place to hang out 🙂

Looking foward to your next DVD, Pete.

Just be aware that the last time I was there (coupla weeks ago) they'd sold-out of their Intermediate tenors, so it would be worth a call first(so they can put t' kettle on 😀 )
Of course, their pro models are brilliant... ask Pete!... so...

I've read a lot of your very enthusiastic comments about Hansons on this forum. Is it the ST-5 you've got? Any experience of the ST-3? I guess Christmas isn't too long to wait (the 5s will be back by then, apparently).

Pete, would it be possible for me to access the extra pages?

Cheers

Peter

No, Peter, I have an alto, the SA-5.

Just keep at 'em, they might find you one lurking in a corner (quite possible if you could see the 'building development work' going on there 🙂 )

(I hope Maria isn't reading this!)
