What kind of sax player do you look like?

[danarsenault]

There is another thread relating sax pitch to personality type, but I think there is another consideration: Some people just look like they play a certain instrument. Do you?

Me? I MUST be a bari player, and it has always been my favorite to play.

[Jonathan C.]

Alto looks to small on me, so I guess I look like a Tenor player. Also my favorite horn too.

[ChasinTheTrane]

When I first started playing alto suited me I'm sure, cause when I first got a tenor it looked too big on me, but I feel I've grown into it and since high school it's what looks best on me.

When I first started playing alto suited me I'm sure, cause when I first got a tenor it looked too big on me, but I feel I've grown into it and since high school it's what looks best on me; now alto looks awkwardly small, go figure:shock:

[hakukani]

Although I play plenty of tenor, bari, and sop, I still consider myself an alto player.

[crazydaisydoo]

I've put on few pounds recently......

[raf:)]

i am an alto and tenor i just love both ! but i play more alto and i dont own a tenor :(

[jrvinson45]

What hair I have remaining is red, and according to another thread, redheads don't look like sax players, soooo, If I looked like a sax player, I'd look like an old red-headed one. If you've seen any old red-headed saxes, let me know.

[Kritavi]

there was Red Nichols...but he played trumpet.
maybe Rudy Vallee?

[saxphil]

A graying,slowing down,seen better days sax player
Tenor is my 1st love but alto & sop are great too
One develops different sound concepts & approaches for various horns
For me it is hard to beat a tenor's guts

[bluesaxgirl]

Well, people say I look like a clarinet player...then they just gasp when I say I play the alto and bari sax.

[Saxmusiclover]

alto!

[Agent27]

I've put on few pounds recently......

Too bad that Billy Blues, the place in Houston where this was located, closed down. I think the sax is still standing though.

[Grumps]

Though I play a variety of horns at times, when someone I met the other night who caught one of my groups play referred to me as the tenor man, well... I guess I look like a tenor player.

[amoram]

subcontrabass... :(

[Luke Michelson]

As long as I don't look like Kenny G, I'm fine. I play Alto mostly because my tenor isn't really fixable (been dropped too many times, but I can't complain, it was free!). Most people who watch me play think I'm using a soprano.

[Swampcabbage]

Many have told me I look like a tenor player.

[martysax]

I used to look like a young straight one.

[porbem]

I’m a late bloomer alto player!

However, I’m planning an affair with a (curvie) soprano.

I also love the sound of the bari but that would look like the bari playing me (and like my teacher always says: don’t allow your instrument to abuse you!).

[mudrock1000]

well personally i look like harry potter....anyway next topic...I think i look sorta like a guitar player because of my long hair, which i guess is half true cuz i play bass...i think i kinda look like a trombone player

News flash: According to no reliable source whatsoever, dozens of religious pilgrims are flocking to Bahsten, after hearing reports that an image that resembled the Messiah could be be found in the background of one of mahtysax's pictures:

[6mJunkie]

I look like a cmel player according to a couple people in my new band.

As teh drummer said (more than likely stoned out of his gourd):

"Dude, I've never seen one of those before, but I don't think it would look right in anyone else's hands."


I'm still trying to figure out if it was an insult or not...

:shock: I swear there are tears leaking from my monitor screen !!!

[TokyoRain]

Hmmmmm........I would say I'd have to be a Bari player. Although I do play alto, it seems like such a toy to play.

[Sasquatch]

I look like the kind of sax player that needs to lay off the Dunkin' Donuts and Guiness.

[Livia]

Someone said that I look like a piano player.
I think I look like an alto player, but it's a bit to large for me :shock::D.

[CiaranAudio]

I look like the sax player you just don't want to f*** with! ;)

[Alexk]

Sigh........I don't; at 6foot 4inches and 240 lb, with shoulders like a lumberjack, I always get mistaken for a bouncer.:(

[Reedsplinter]

Illegal one.

This is me doing time (Art Pepper was one cell down); we had cool prison uniforms:

[RS]

I used to look like a bari player. Then I lost 50 pounds. Now I look like an alto player.

[martysax]

Illegal one.

This is me doing time (Art Pepper was one cell down); we had cool prison uniforms:

You had a cool left-handed alto as well!

[Reedsplinter]

You had a cool left-handed alto as well!

It was the only kind of alto they had in our part of the prison. All the right-handed ones were in the women's section.

[Mal 2]

I see that alto also had numerous eyeless bis keys, or at least what you get when you take the "i" out of "bis".:twisted:

[comrade igor]

I think I'm a bari. Been playing that for a while.

[DesertCreature]

I used to look like a bari player. Then I lost 50 pounds. Now I look like an alto player.

I used to look like a bari player - Gerry Mulligan. Didn't mean I could play like him. :cry:

Then I gained 50 pounds. Now I look like an engineer. 8-)

[Fader]

I used to look like a young straight one.

And now you look like a........::ahem::.....Nevermind - that's just too easy:twisted:

[Martin Williams]

I get the most attention from the ladies when I play tenor. I guess that means I'm a tenor player!

[TheJono]

I'm tall and lanky, and I play tenor. Alto just looks awkward on me, but soprano looks okay. The jury is still out on bari... :D

[themacintrasher]

There is another thread relating sax pitch to personality type, but I think there is another consideration: Some people just look like they play a certain instrument. Do you?

Me? I MUST be a bari player, and it has always been my favorite to play.

I wouldn't be so quick to admit that.....:D

[GAS_Wyo]

At 6' 2" and 230 lbs now, I'm definitely starting to look more like a bari player these days. The steroids really help me gain weight. Last round of chemo I got up to 245 lbs!

[gary]

You had a cool left-handed alto as well!

In that case, that would have been Paul Newman.

[gary]

What kind of sax player do I look like?
You tell me.

[bariclari]

I myself play Bari (I love the low toned woodwinds). Most people though say I look like I should play soprano because their used to seeeing me play clarinet. My favorite part of playing bari is standing in front of the jazz band at the edge of the stage playing what was supposed to be Alto1's solo..... until I stole it! :twisted: *evil laugh*

[tristantattoos]

At 6'2" and 285 pounds (most of them left over from my bodybuilding days) with both arms almost fully sleeved with brightly colored tattoo work, a shaved head and a 7" goatee and a labret piercing... people are SHOCKED when I break out a horn! I got told three times last night that everyone at the jam session expected me to bust out a flying V and start shredding heavy metal! I absolutely LOVE destroying stereotypical thought!

[milandro]

At just about a little more than 6' and 240 Lb, I look a lot like my avatar. Alto was my first love but they say it looks small in my hands, so I guess tenor looks probably the part. I have received favorable comments on my baritone look (not the sound mind you!), but I think that they don't know what they were talking about.

[DomPy]

tenor, alto looks fragile on me

soprano looks good also

[ianhart]

Probably a tenor player, although I mainly play alto and bari.

[CiaranAudio]

[MartinMusicMan]

My avatar is a pic of me. I play tenor. Period.

[hakukani]

Does my alto make my butt look big?

[BoSax]

In my mind I look like an incredibly attractive older sax player with thick, wavy, dirty blonde hair; deep blue eyes you'd get lost in; impecabbly good taste in clothing; a build like Vin Diesel...

In the mirror I look like an old man with a saxophone who's only resemblance to Vin Diesel is the hair.

[SuperAction80]

A smart***ed one?

[saxjd]

A graying,slowing down,seen better days sax player
. . .

Then we might be confused for each other.;)

[ratracer]

Hey, Vin is not bald! He just took my lead and installed a solar collector for a luuuuv machine! :TGNCHK:

[Kermit]

Does my alto make my butt look big?

Well, since you asked... maybe a little. But the Hawaiian shirt covers it up, so it's all good. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. :)

[foresterdjb]

I look like an old experienced sax player. Too bad I am a pure novice.

[MartinMusicMan]

My inner sax player is 20 years younger and 50 pounds lighter.

[metalbari]

Someone told me I look like Melvil Poupaud (messy thick hair), Jack Nickolson (a little less hair), or Clint Eastwood (going bald) - short medium versions: I'm 170 cm x 70 kilos.

Hearing me playing sax two or three persons told me if I think I am John Coltrane; another person told Fausto Papetti.

But when I play sax I think I am an awful lot of things like, in random order: an upholsterer (my all-time favorite), the pig fifer (old), a church horgan player (my actual fantasy), a violin player, a drummer, a guitarist, a game director whistle player, a raspberry player, a match striker, a nose blower, a yodeler, an opera singer, a cubist painter, a soup eater, a dentist patient, a pellican, a cricket, a frog, a journalist, a politician, a telemarket vendor, a noisy radio station, a person with a rubber lip and/or with protruding teeth, Jerry Lewis, Paganini etc.

One time that I had a pair of Rudolf Dassler on, a friend told me that they are my saxophone player boots. I was shocked because I bought them because they have the color of the sax pads skin - but that is the stuff that I wear everyday of the year.

[bandmommy]

Hmmm,
I'd have to say I don't look like a sax player at all.
I'm rather plain, so I look more like a clarinetist or oboist. But can play sop, alto, tenor, and bari.

That sums up my vision lovliness as well MMM.

... gone forever..I'm afraid.

[Joy, John or Joyce]

Sue Terry?

(Man, I can't believe I am posting in this thread! I must be bored/tired or both. Okay, both. More coffee, please.)

[HSkid]

i prefer my alto with a thick as molasses sound but when i have a Bari it fits the look requirement better then the alto as i am a broad shouldered 17 year old so the bari fits the looks.

i still used to march alto and ever since i started marching bari i get lost less. the alto section still gets esalliy confused though...so use small words in a slow manner and they might conclude that you where talking to them.

Come on, you're not alone.
Let's go on with the look like thread (I have another one ready "what do you think when you play your sax")

[DavyRay]

I look like an 18 year-old rock star, (as long as I don't look in the mirror).

[Al Stevens]

A homeless one.

[LampLight]

A dented, vintage sax with peeling lacquer. :(

[Twombles62]

I've always looked like an alto player, but I'm slowly becoming more of a tenor guy :p

[bari_sax_diva]

I'm not even sure I look like a sax player at all, let alone a bari player. Alto is less of a size mis-match, though. I'll let you folks decide... and yeah, I'm the player on the right.

http://leannepowers.com/forumcrap/Roger_n_me_soundcheck.jpg

[Conrado]

Although I play tenor and alto sometimes, I consider myself primarily a bari sax player.

[paradimensional]

I guess I'm alto cause that's what my band director says I'm best on XP

[Phil Barone]

There is another thread relating sax pitch to personality type, but I think there is another consideration: Some people just look like they play a certain instrument. Do you?

Me? I MUST be a bari player, and it has always been my favorite to play.

I look like me. Phil

[paradimensional]

Strike that. I look like a bari player... people say I look "natural" with it in my hands :)

[hakukani]

What are you listening to?

You're kind of cute! especially with that big thing in your hands. Phil

The jobless kind! but at least I have some horns to play!
