Hi All:
I used to play alto saxophone as a musician in a tropical music band at ages 17-25..( In Caribbean country).
Now, at 61, I am returning to sax, but I prefer to play the Tenor. The kind of music I want to play is romantic,slow rythm in friends meetings and ocassionally in some party, but only "listening " music..not dance music. I enjoy the pleasant mood and warm sound of Stan Getz , as played in the"Bossa Nova " years, especially as "Samba Triste"..."Once Again" ..etc..Wich one of this two mouthpieces could give me a sound close to that one ? I know the importance of physical conditions, Throat, mouth, etc... and the quality of the horn... but ... I am in a country were there is not access to foreing money and I have been offerd to choose between this two. I read in the web that Getz used hard rubber Otto link 5* and at the Carnegie Hall he used Vandoren T20..I appreciate your wise advice.Humbardi
