Subj: [kl] please don't shoot me for asking a saxaphone question!
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 23:26:06 -0400

I play a lot of saxaphone for our pep and jazz bands, as well as trumpet and
piano. (With a small band, if you can play multiple instruments, you are used
to fill gaps.) And I was pondering the concept of actually buying my own
saxaphone. I think I'd like to purchase an alto. I know I don't want student
line. I'd like a professional horn, but with a price tag lower than what I
see on some Selmer models (egad!). I would like to find a saxaphone with a
big, dark, sound that is more suited to classical, but that I can also do
jazz, etc. on it.
So I don't annoy other people who want a clarinet-only list, I'd like private
responses (unless you really want to post public, at the risk of a little war
starting) about what type of horn to get, and what mouthpiece to use. I'd
like to use Hempke reeds on it, and a BG Revelation ligature. Thank you for
all your help!
