Music isn't a science, it's an art. At least it was before teh innertoobz got hold of it.I love all of the scientific evidence he presents. Very convincing. [rolleyes]
Right.Music isn't a science, it's an art. At least it was before teh innertoobz got hold of it.
I joke, but traditionally, musical knowledge works on the master/apprentice model. You believe cats who have been around because they have been around. Indeed, as long as such a cat is your teacher, you might never come to question hi/r knowledge at all.
+2!I read that article this morning attached to an advertising e-mail from WW&BW. Suffice to say I disagree. DAVE
:scratch: :dontknow: :rr:It amazes me that even though we play one of the few acoustic instruments that was truly 'invented' rather than 'developed', we constantly want to believe in some sort of mythology.
You and me both! lolI am sooooo glad I got an un-lacquered horn since I play jazz.
This is why these finish debates seem to continue endlessly in the face of the facts.
I bet his horns don't sound too good. Correct me if I am wrong.Right.
If these teachers did any research at all, they would find that Adolphe Sax was very meticulous with the patented invention of the saxophone. It is a machine which took a great deal of science to invent.
Science was & is part of our musical world.
Oh well, I guess we are the lucky ones b/c we know better. :mrgreen:
Did you ever switch necks? Are the resonators the same ? Any dents anywhere? Same year serial number?No scientific evidence here!
However, I have two essentially identical old Conn saxes, one gold plated and the other silver plated, both in fine condition. The silver one is definitely a brighter sounding instrument than the darker sounding gold plated instrument. The silver one is my preference.
