Introduction Hello to everyone

[jazzsurfer]

Hi Jono here - I currently play Bari (Yamaha 62) in a band called the Bigtime Rollers basically due to the fact that the tenor and alto players in the band (Steve Howard and Steve Grainger) are a zillion times better than I am. However, it's great fun, I learn a lot, and the guys are very supportive.

Other saxes include: Mark 6 Alto, Yamaha 875 custom tenor, and a Chinese alto (recommended by Steve Howard) which is fab.

Bari set up is: Lawton 7B mpc, Bari plastic reed (medium)

Favoutire players: Lee Allen, Plas Johnson, Noble 'Thin Man Watts', Tom Scott

Oh no they're not. (Note to other folks here - I know this for a fact as I sat in with this band last year. Jono can certailnly blow that thing)

Welcome to the Breakfast Room, when are the Steves going to show up here?

Hi Pete - Thanks for the kind words. It was Steve H who recommended your site to me so I shall remind him when I see him (which will be pretty soon as I have just broken the octave key spring on my Bari whilst practising).

Thanks for the website practice materials by the way - I have been working on your diatonic chord exercise. I aim to work slowly through all of the stuff on the site.

Can I also request the 'extra pages' ?

Thanks

Jono

I like the sound of your collection. Always fascinated by peoples choice.
Steve H done a neck recork for me the other day and we spoke of the chinese horns.

Flesh?.....brass...brass monkey.....noddy....all its glory!

Hi - Thanks for the welcome. I got the alto from Gear4music. It required Steve H to tweak it a bit but is now in great shape. What surprised me about it is that it is really solid (I had expected it to be a bit flimsy). Happy to let u have a look at it.
