cooltrane Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 (edited) Hey I just found this site when I was searching some jazz topics. My name is George, and I'm 17 years old. I have been playing alto saxaphone for 5 and a half years, and I just switched to tenor. Currently I'm playing a Selmer Reference 54 tenor, with the matte * antique * finish. I use a SR technologies Pro 115 mouth piece, with a Vandoran Z series 3 Reed. I find the setup is perfect. It has a brighter uper registry and brilliant altisimo tone, without sacraficing the Dark Mellow lower octave that the Reference 54 is famous for! I will be attending Mount royal next year for the jazz program, and Hopefully in the next few years I can get my name out there. Currently I'm studying with Gareth hughes who is the tenor player in the Mocking Shadows. However I have also studied with Pat Belavou, and Gerry hebert from gerry and the swinging bovines, aswell as Keith Kruchek. I'll be looking forward to discussing jazz related topics with all of you guys. You have put forth quite a wicked site here. Take care everybody! P.S if this site suports larger data, I should have some cd's of mine up and running if I can figure out how to make them load, so all of you can have a chance to here me play!

cooltrane Posted January 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Lol I mean older then 17, from the sounds of it all you guys are probably in your 20's, even 30's. So again, does anybody here play saxaphone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Lol I mean older then 17, from the sounds of it all you guys are probably in your 20's, even 30's. So again, does anybody here play saxaphone? You'll find that many members here are in their 30s - 60s and beyond, and no, I'm not a saxophone player.
