@wannawatchu66 I see you are. Go back to day care and get your diaper changed. Oh, and give our regards to Justin...NOT!

@trigonda I'm not in a high chair. Are you?

@wannawatchu66 you managed it alright

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I'm wondering who the dipwad is that disliked this. Probably some diaper-clad Justin Bieber fan...but then, how does one click a mouse while in a highchair?

MK VI tenor sax, otto link 7 and 3.5 Rico....that's pretty much the same setup as Branford Marsalis, right, just that Branford uses Vandoren 3.5's ...
Great sound! My goal one day, along with every saxophonist I'm sure, is to own a Mark VI.

@1979saxman Some VI's are better than others. Try a few before you commit if you can, and it always helps to have another player try the horn you're looking at too. Consider also that it might need a tune up, so it could be a really great sax but play badly because of a leaky pad.
I also use java #3 or #3.5 reeds

What is your setup, Mr. Wigmore, that give you such a full, responsive tone?

@TheKoppster237 Thanks! I have a MK VI tenor sax, an Otto Link 7* hard rubber mouthpiece, and I use #3 or #3.5 Rico reeds. A huge part of my tone comes from pitch matching the bell tones to overtones (eg: Low Bb at overtone "F" to normal F), lowering my jaw and matching the lower pitch, and insuring that my mouthpiece is pushed in on the neck and my actual mouthpiece pitch (the note on just the mouthpiece) is low. That part of my practice routine has been key. Oh... and lots of transcriptions.
