Hi All

Back from MusikMesse 2018 in Frankfurt. I only had one real day to take it in and I felt like I needed at least three.
Anyway, here's my Vlog episode, (including getting to play the largest playable sax in the world!)

My other highlights were, 1. finally getting to play the new Atelier Tenor from Yamaha, (superb horn, I've been promised some time to make a comprehensive review) 2. the superb Inderbinen tenor sax & 3. the incredible improvements that Antigua have made to their line of saxophones.

Dan, glad you enjoyed it. I've been there several of times, getting in on a Exhibiters' Pass. On public days? A real zoo.

Quick question: Did Peter Ponzol have design input in the Antigua or did they do that independently?

Hi Gary - sorry I've no idea but I was very surprised by just how good the Antigua horns played. I had a student who had one about ten years ago and I told him to take it back it was that bad.

Thanks, Dan. Peter came over to my apartment several years ago and demonstrated his Pro One alto and tenor. Beastly horns. Selmer like. Much improved.
