I primarily play bari and recently got a professional Kessler Custom tenor and have been enjoying it for a while. However, after seeing that Kessler just released a new batch of Midnight Low C bass clarinets, I'm thinking that getting one of those things would be a better investment than a...

Hi all, Please see the attached photo. A neighborhood friend's father was a saxophonist in Ohio big bands for many years, and has had this tenor in a closet for the past 30 or so years. Apparently, he has only pulled the horn out once in all that time. Could anyone identify the horn based on...

Hey y'all! I'm primarily a baritone sax player and I've been using the Kessler Solist custom bari and it's been great (I highly recommend using it by the way)! I've recently been learning about doubling. I do know that sax players usually double on other woodwinds such as flute or clarinet, and...

Bernie's Tune ...30 min before the gig.

Hello everyone, I just graduated high school and had to give back my school owned tenor (a 1980's Yamaha 62). I'm looking to buy my own horn now, on a budget of $1500-$2000 (though I'd like to stay on the lower end). I play on a relatively advanced level, both jazz and classical, and I use...

So, I bought a used Borgani Joe Lovano tenor sax from reverb. It should arrive tomorrow. I was v. pleased with the price, especially after looking at various Selmer Paris models, including the Mark VI, for months. I realize it's a totally different concept from Selmer, and I'm excited about...

Hi there, Thanks for your help with getting a mouthpiece for classical music. I found a used Vandoren T20 that works great by means of the flexibility for getting a round and dark tone when I want it. I have a used Vandoren Optimum ligature for it that came with a pressure plate that has 4 dots...
