I happened to practice outside a couple of times this summer at a large park nearby. It was great fun. Lots of people are saying being outdoors is really good for you. See this, for one. So...double-plus good!

You listen to yourself with headphones?
Why wait until "after he has gone"?
Why not go for it today?
.......
Or do you need the money from the life insurance to buy the van?
I use Shure in ear monitoring or/and a battery powered PA speaker (Behringer MPA40BT).

Yes I love it, very inspiring environment, I’ve recorded this track outside two months ago, last picture in the video is what I’ve looked at when recording:

Yes, why wait until he 'rests in peace'? Go now and give him some peace.
Another cool pics from yesterday, all my sax looping equipment (pedalboard, audio interface, mic, IEM’s...) fits in my sax case:
It’s a Gator Case, I use it since one year and love it, best case I ever had:
Gator Lightweight TenorSax ShapeCase – Thomann France

Putting lots of equipment in with the saxophone is a sure way to get lots of dings, bent keys and bent rods. Get another bag for them.
Look at the first pic, all this equipment is stored in the external pocket. The second pic is just for illustration
I’ve got a case like that but in red. It cost $275. Canadian money but such a great case. Good choice. Congrats.
It looks like this?

Those case are sturdy and offer very strong protection IMO, as they’re not made from soft foam but a hard and thick one.
It’s not the same company but the same sturdy classic design. I’m from Canada so have different manufacturers I’m sure but here’s mine. Mine is made by a company called Protec.
It’s an original 1958 saxophone which I want to protect. The original case was rotting away and giving my saxophone a real musty smell so the people here told me to chuck it and I did. This was its replacement and now my saxophone doesn’t smell musty any more which is great. I am really glad I purchased it. It’s a really nice case.
