Thanks James, I guess I shouldn’t ever mention my sub-student YAS-26 again! I do think that if I had bought a 280 first, I never would have acquired the 62.
When I saw the prices of the 82Z I thought how bad can the 62 really be, and can I justify the additional cost? There is such a tone change from the MP’s on the 26 I doubt if anyone would know what horn you were playing if they only heard the sound. Beverly has sometimes asked me if I was playing the tenor! Cheers Jeffrey

checkout the difference between a Jazz Set Up and a Classical Set Up, you have to pick one or the other, you can’t have a Set Up that works for BOTH styles of music.

I can’t hear what he is saying on this video!

James to be honest I’m not worried about tone so much at this stage. I’m focussed on tuning, timing and smooth fingering of the notes. When I can do that properly then I’ll worry more about the style of playing i.e. classical or jazz style. Whether to wear a bow tie or cravat, bowler hat or cap, suit, sleeveless shirt or T-shirt, which coloured shades, two toned shoes … 😉
