      ….the good thing about the chat room. Hopefully, like minded people, you hope will understand even if opinion varies. This last year has put me to the test. One long line, of operations, lawyers, painkiller withdrawals….but its done. Now as the great ” AWB ” say…..I got work to do !! I’ll be around but really have to throw myself back at the long shed hours and hopefully a load of work to come. Take care, practice hard, on the days its not coming together, you feel like your going backwards ?? Pick up your horn and practice !!
      Speak in the near future….peace….jaksax xx

              Articles are interesting, but its the notes from the bell which I’m interested to hear.

              Does a Sax made from silver have a distinct signature tone which differs from one made from brass?

                  A interesting article that knows what its talking about.

                  At the end of the day play the sax 1st before you buy.

                  From the vast number of reviews i’ve read, and the vast number of youtube video reviews i’ve watched, they all have one thing in common – no one solitary scientific bench mark saxophone sound to compare the sound of every other sax built. What one person perceives as bright is dark to another.

                    also, don’t forget that a sax is not made from brass like a trumpet or trombone. although brass itself is a composite material the saxophone has less brass in it than a typical brass instrument. you’d probably find different saxes have different percentage. some older saxes I’ve tried you can actually squeeze the bell with a very light grasp of you hand and fingers… you couldn’t do that on the bell of a trombone.
