Hello forum users!
I have just joined today, so I need to say hi.
My music interest started when I was 7 years old when I started to learn the trumpet, and at the age of 10 I joined my local silver band (on flugel horn). I stayed with the band until I was aged 13. I then took up the drums for many years, playing in bands, touring UK/Europe.
My love of music has always been mainly around the 40's and 50's eras. I love my rock'n'roll/swing, but I am also passionate about jazz and blues.
I have also run my own studio, and have been a FOH sound engineer for several 'big' bands. I run my own record label also.
I took up the saxophone back in 2001, but unfortunately a serious road traffic accident resulting in a traumatic brain injury put my learning back for many years. I have recently taken my circa 1939 Pennsylvania tenor from the loft and began playing, it is certainly a difficult horn to play! I also have an alto, but cannot remember what make/model it is haha.
The Pennsylvania was made under the Selmer name in London, probably by Karl Meyer. It has pearl keys and has the original dark lacquer. I use an Otto Link metal mouth piece.
I am looking at buying a new sax, I'd love an older Selemer but the finances could not strech that far, so I have been looking at the Conn CTS280R. Does anyone on the forum have one of these? If so, is it good for swing/rock'n'roll?
Bye for now
