hy! Paula the "argentinian" girl again, jaja!
thank you for the answering messages. I know gonzales and zonda reeds (not
mozart`s) but the thing is that i was told that their quality is not so
good; and they have a little problem: they are not very cheap, because the
people of my country it is.. lets say speculative thiefs and the prices went
up since vandoren and the other imported reeds cost so much now. Eventough
(i dont know how to write that) they are cheaper and if you say they arent
bad i will try them! thanks. isn´t it funny? vandoren buys canes in
argentina for miserable coins, they cut the reeds in france, and when i want
to buy them i have to pay 6 $ each reed!
Ok, I will stop bothering with this problem that only afect me and people of
my country.. Today I heard in a discussion that its better not to "dry"
sax´s pads. after playing it, just leave it as it is.. some people say that
drying it is bad for the pads.. does anyone knows something about it?
I forgot a qustion: does anybody know the oficial site of conn. i recently
bought a alto sax: a lady
face of 1935, but its mising some screws and here they doesnt exist. i have
to "import" them and as i told you everyhing is very expensive for the
situation of my country. i wrote to united musical asking for some if they
could send them, and they answer me that they have changed so that they
didnt have those screws, but if they will they would send them. now, here is
the question: does anybody know another site of conn., the offical one.. i
need those screws!!! and a small bag of about 10 screws is like 30 dollars
or 120$ for meeeeeeeee!!!!!!!
