Ian..just curious which you prefer - alto or tenor? I'm considering trading my Yamaha YAS-82Z in for a tenor and would like your input on whether or not I should consider something other than a Yamaha for tenor. Thanks!
@agigcbo I started on alto and played it for about 20 years. But I loved the sound of the tenor and got a 1914 Conn Pan American tenor (very good!), and kept the alto. I've still got the alto and play it from time to time, but I soon found the tenor suited me better. I advise you to keep the alto and try the tenor too if you can. I love my old French Selmer SBA tenor, but there are many other good makes. Yamaha is good. But try before you buy if you can. Get one home for a weekend. ...Good luck.
@mirokadoic Hi Miro, thanks for your kind comment. My computer video camera takes the film like a mirror, but I know how to correct this now, ...but well spotted1
Hi Ad4MZ, Thanks for your kind comment. On this track I'm using an Otto Link Super Tone Master No. 8 with a Rico Plasticover No. 3 reed. The alto is a Yamaha Custom YAS 875. I love the Otto Link, but I also use a Yanagisawa metal mouthpiece on my tenor.
great stuff as usual, i watch with great personal frustration lol
