      So, yeah the FB comment. They have these sax buy sell ,discuss, haggle. Managed to sort tenorsax and bari off of the sites, both delivered on the cash speaks principle… Groovy. But yeah the link stays for the forsseable. Played with a local guy a week or so back , asked his opinion. Big air !!! I guess , well its my opinion, that you can’t really move around a link until your chops are more developed. They are not that friendly, a bit resistant, and do take a constant push from the diaphragm..through the horn, not into it. Watch Scott Hamilton, he’s really working it.
      The Lakey was $50 on some site or other. I liked its profile, but had no idea what 4 over 3 meant 😕 !!
      Its turned out to be a funky comfortable blow. If the band require walking sax bass lines, its an option. My chops are still getting tired after a coupla hours.

      Reeds. No comment. All my mpcs t\ b have ” bari reeds. I’m just into the consistency. Its what I need rich right now .

      Backing tracks !! Thanks JF…they are quality, and a quality work out. I haven’t yet bought any more, as I mid thought out my practicalities. I don’t want to take an expensive soundbar busking. Even if I did the tracks are on my pad. I’d have to seek a roaming network. No, the Nikita, I pod, was a better option but hey, I have a great house set up. The tunes ? I’m getting them down. Same issues with the Jr Walker altissimo. In my defence, this 10M is underslung. At times, fork E\F won’t come out but D 5 will. I’m tempted to say it needs checking out but its a chops thing. More overtones. Other than that , I love them and look forward to having a full ” bar set “

        Final thoughts. ” Violets for your furs ” has haunted me. Offhand I don’t remember, but at a guess I’ll thank Mel for his great work loading up the tunes. Yeah, ole Von Freeman has me intrigued. One of those players who sound sublime or dreadful. No gray ??
        So, finally….if your long tones, altissimo, slap tongue is done…and the dog walked, you should check out ” Great Scott ” a film about Mr Hamiltons rise to fame. I only call him Scott cause he’s a fellow link player…😉

              Yeah, I’ve been listening to him a lot lately Mel. Talks a lot of sense and to say he blows that link better than most ?….oh yeah !!
              Making great steps on mine. I don’t think I’ve ever switched mpcs more comfortably. Hope your good Mel, speak soon man…

                Don’t know too much about it , but I’m pretty sure I read , Mr Hamilton has some kind of inoperable brain tumour. If you are of a religion, please offer prayers. If not , like me, just send good vibes to one of the worlds greatest tenor men. Bless you Scott, and thanks for hours of pleasure….
