Introduction Howdy from the NKB (New Kid on the Block)

[jon_turner]

Hi All,
Just a quick intro. I'm in my early 50's, have played flute since 4th grade, bassoon in high school and college, self-taught the bagpipes a little over 20 years ago and of late (2 weeks ago) have decided to take up the sop sax. Bought an "El Cheapo" (Maxtone) sopsax to see if I'm gonna' like it before I mortgage the house and get a really good one. I'm having the usual reed/mpc/embouchure problems that all newbies have but nothing that can't be overcome with lots of the obligatory practice sessions. Got a practice book/dvd/cd and am having at least a little fun with it. I'm not ready to butt Kenny G. out just yet, but time will tell...........................
Y'All have a Merry Christmas and all that stuff.

Hi Jon and welcome to the Breakfast Room. That's an interesting array of instruments you've played over the years. Good luck with the soprano sax.

Cheers, Bob
