Too bad neither the model nor the photographer had a band class when they were in school. They would know better than this. At least she has the left hand on the top and the right hand on the bottom. I've seen some that don't even get that right.

A few years back an invitational festival for high school jazz ensembles was held in my state. The printed program contained the photo below. What's worse is that one of the jazz instructors at that university was one of the adjudicators/clinicians at the festival.

Maybe none of the people involved were photogenic?

Too bad the photographer didn't go to photography class and the model didn't go to modelling class.

It's stuff like that as to how I ended up with fellow orchestra members playing in the Cilla TV mini-series - they wanted people who could actually play the instruments, rather than extras without a clue....

It could be worse - she might have played it with her nose...

That's how I felt as a serving menber of HM Armed Forces whenever a TV drama had sloppy actors, especially the laughable saluting..............

I knew I'd seen him somewhere. What a Star!

Finding out after 10 years that I've been wrong all this time!

What about this pic?
Is there even a reed in there. There’s nothing holding one in place. I think it was taken from a movie clip.

OMG! That's totally confusing on so many levels!

Sax, spelled with an 'A' being the least of all...

It’s basically made for the same reason the first picture was made. Let’s face it. Sax sells. LOL!

He must be a very good actor! Also, I'm not sure if HE is biting, but check the mouthpiece. It's had its side bitten off!

And by the way, here is the video:
