| •Hi,
I have a Selmer Bundy Sax # 476816 that was my ex-husband's. I would like to try and sell it. I do not know much about it other than it has been well-used and does have some surface scratches. It appears all parts are in the case; mouth piece, strap, etc. Does anyone have any odea what the ballpark value of an instrument like this is? I sure would appreciate it. i am moving and cannot take it with me. Kristen~ by KristenJ on 7/28/2010 2:25:00 PM

| •I have the above listed instrument, serial #142388. It is playable, but could use a little TLC. What might it be worth?
Thanks,

| •I have a sax, in the crown it says: Barnet and it has a microphone between the r and the n. the serial number below the thumb holder is 1891. Can anyone tell me about this sax. Another forum says it could be rare because a musician by the name of Charlie Barnet used this type of sax. Maybe this was one of his saxes. by newfan on 7/24/2010 5:32:00 PM

| •so i didn't say it in the subject but i recently bought a DC Pro Saturn series black laquare (pardon my spelling peoples XD) gold keys tenor saxophone.
now i want to know what people don't like and what people do like about this brand of saxophones. i've read a few discussions about this horn but i don't have solid facts its all nonspecific on why they either like or dislike this brand of saxophones. so i want real answers not a bunch of spewing out this is bad. i want to know how you like the responce this gives, the altissimo, projection, the weight, (yes) the look, the build. any other things you happen to like. i want something solid.
so the question is why do you like this brand? (or) why do you dilkike? with great details. and if you haven't used one and just heard about please say
thanks wonderful cheery peoples XD by Lady Royale on 7/23/2010 4:06:00 PM

| •Currently, I am playing on a Meyer 5m with a Vandoren Traditional Size 3 on a Reference 54 alto. I'm looking to have a much darker sound, so I'm trying out the Vandoren A28 from wwbw.com. In addition, I ordered Vandoren V12 size 3 1/2s, because I feel like the Vandoren Traditional size 3s are too soft now. Would a Vadoren A28 with a Vandoren V12 reed be appropriate, in other words would I be able to play this combination with the same ease I was able to play with my Meyer? by ashkansax on 7/22/2010 5:51:00 PM

| •Recently purchased a Fibercell synthetic reed - I was amazed at the tone quality and playability. The tone wasn't right there with a natural reed but it was a great deal closer to a quality sound than I was led to believe was the case. Cost $15 but if it lasts as long as common lore indicates it will be worth it. What is the principle stigma with synthetic reeds? by joe eide on 7/22/2010 10:46:00 AM

| •Can anyone help me find a US dealer for the Ligaphone Sax Harness? The only US source I can find is Roberto's Winds and they are out of stock in all but the small size and do not expect to have them in for some time. This harness was highly recommended to me by Antonio Hart and looks to be the answer to my ongoing neck problems. Any help will be appreciated. by edoney on 7/20/2010 10:45:00 AM
