Started on piano at age 7.....Saxophone at 9 (beginning of 5th grade).
Started Bassoon in 9th grade and studied privately for 9 years. So Sax and Bassoon are my main woodwinds. Started clarinet (self taught) in 9th grade....then took a woodwinds course in college adding flute and oboe. Most of my pit orchestra work is on low reeds......Everything from Tenor and Bari Sax, to Bass Clarinet, Eb Contra Alto, Bassoon and Contrabassoon. I got a call to do a pit a few years back on Oboe and English Horn. I was lucky enough to find a decent Oboe (Patricola) and a Howarth English Horn. I've since upgraded the Oboe to a Marigaux...an older one....but love the sound it has.
Most of my pit work is in the local area....just for fun...it's not how I make my living. My office job supports my music habit...thankfully.
