Hi thanks for stopping by.
60 plus years ago (yes the 60's, groups as they were then not bands) I played Tenor and a Berg Larsen MP great days and 'sounds' but now alto and I've 'mellowed' a lot.
I've had a look at getting a Berg Larsen for my alto but stuck as I cannot remember the tip opening I blew and bewildered by the choices available nowadays however I don't want the sound of the 60's any more. I presently play a Vandoren AL3 nice MP but fancy trying a metal for a change. I am more a classical/military/dance band player so not after the raucous sounds I did make, but now more mellow playing 'sweet' melodies !! get the idea ??
I suppose there will be many who will say 'stay with what you've got' no don't want to I wanna change so what's it to be fans ? being an 'old guy' and a pension %^$£^%!! funds are limited and I'm not in any desperate rush to buy neither just need to find something suitable preferably second user. Must say I have watched/listened to a lot of videos and the choice of metal seems to out weigh rubber etc. so what's your thoughts please. I may be a very olden but I'm very active blowing wise and such a pain we're still unable to get together but I'm being patient.
Thanks for your thoughts Pete
