One Handed Sax

Amazing. I can still just about play with my right wrist and lower arm encased in a fibreglass cast (and a mate is going to attack the cast with a Dremel cutter tomorrow night so I can get more movement in my little finger). I think I'm battling on - that guy with the use of one arm deserves huge respect.

PS - I may be back to A&E tomorrow night asking them nicely to re-attach my right little finger..........
 
That is one hell of a piece of engineering. It'd be very interesting to hear it played by the guy for whom its built.
 
Yes he is, insn't he. Which is rather annoying in an odd way when I think how much time and effort I have to put in with two fully-functioning hands to less effect. Can't help thinking it should be rather easier than I make it.
 
Brilliant, I recall a thread about this guy a couple of years ago. What an inspiration he is. I'm really happy his determination and hard work paid off. Thanks Kev for finding this 🙂
 
I seem to recall reading about converted saxophones for one handed players in the post WWI period. It must take a high level of concentration to play one handed and a dedicated tech to design and build the horn.
 

Similar threads... or are they? Maybe not but they could be worth reading anyway 😀
