Re: Bb in the Sorcerer's Apprentice bass solo

Ed,

I think the side and throat keys are one real advantage the Selmer (even my old one) has over the Buffet's. On the Buffet's the side key trills from Bb to B and Bb to C are just awful; both the B and C are way off. On the Selmer I used these a lot in rapid passages where a single B or C occurred but they're way too out of tune to use even in a rapid passage on the Buffet. However, it's the one real source of complaint I have on that horn.

Oddly enough the Prestige alto side keys give fine in tune notes. Must be just some small different in placement or hole size that has made the difference.

Eefer guy
