Good Evening Poway , If you know of any interested parties ,I have decided to sell the Selmer Tenor. I have it listed on Ebay at the present time .It is listed under my seller id which is ceo4profit. I try not to venture onto ebay as I always seem to buy something .Tonight when I listed the Selmer w...

Hello Poway, I may list it online but not sure yet . When I do put it up for sale I will most likely pin a $2500 price tag on it . The Sax is like brand new and still has the original tags. sale will be the sax and a case with tags .The case has a couple marks on it and it the standard lightweight r...

Hello Poway, So true ,it is such a big sound from such a small piece. I like another thought possible a standard size wooden flute. Late yesterday evening though Tim Janis emailed to say it is in fact a Susato hi-d Penny Whistle. Nice part is that from what I can see ,Susato prices their instruments...

I agree Phineas ,financial considerations are always a must. As for the rubberbands,knowing parker they improved his playing in some way. Steve Gooden down in New Orleans has soldiered some of the craziest gizmos onto the horns of some of the top sax players. Knowing Steve if he can find a way to im...

Many thanks for the reply . Jody Jazz mouthpieces are the product of Jody Espinosa (may have did injustice to the spelling). Jody pretty much took over for Runyon and utilizes the removable Runyon spoiler piece within the mouthpiece.They manufacture a line of Soprano ,Alto and Tenor pieces as well a...

Hello ,I have little to add to this post other than my two flutes worth. Phineas , be nice , hate is such a strong word . One opinion is good ,two opinions better,three or more opinions even better yet. You are correct to some extent however more than one budding musician has thrown in the towel all...

Hello Board, I have decided to try some flute. At 41 years of age I don't have a lifetime to find a good flute to work with so why not ask the board members. I do realize that each person has their own opinions. Im a sax player and in that field I am Selmer loyal , so I am aware of personal preferen...
