" I know what you're thinking, did he fire six shots or only five?" " Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum,the most powerful handgun in the world,and would blow you're head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question; Do I feel lucky?
Well do ya punk?"
Hi Pete
This is my quote for the Magnum ( below not above) You can publish it anywhere on the condition I get to keep the crook.
Holy Grail of set ups
" This really is cutting edge thinking for contemporary saxophonists; Todays pro player has to deliver in a wider than ever variety of contexts,ranging from straight ahead jazz to pop and fusion - to classical or commercial playing such as theatre or session work. For the past two years I have been alternating between the Mauriat 66RDK rolled tone hole tenor for my jazz work,with Stan Tracey,Martin Drew or the Three Jazz Tenors, and the mauriat 500BX Black Pearl,nickel silver tenor for a brighter more contemporary sound. With the Mauriat Magnum nickel silver crook I can brighten the 66R and get the best of both worlds. the fatness and depth of the 66R tone is still there,but i now have the added ease of articulation,and projection from the crook. I can move between genres with ease,without changing horns. For sax players who like to change mouthpieces for different gigs,switching crooks is a much easier way to refocus the sound. No problems with embouchure or reeds,just stick to one mouthpiece set up. The Magnum crook has made a definite improvement to my sound. Last week I had an album date with the great Welsh drummer Dave Barry,playing classic Miles Davis tunes from the mid 60s, and i have to say it was one of my easiest ever days in the studio,thanks largely to this new crook. I strongly recommend serious players to give it a try"
