  Stephen P. asked:

  I've been playing tenor sax for a couple of years, and would like to buy my first soprano. I'm only looking for a budget model, and the one from Thomann in Germany gets good feedback. What I'd like to know if is you can recommend a not expensive mouthpiece that will bring out the best in the horn and not hamper my playing. I have 6* and 7 tip openings for my tenor horn. Thanks for any suggestions.

  Hanson make a fantastic sax, I had a student model tenor when I was learning. I bought a selmer libery USA soprano from sax.co.uk which had been fine to me over the past year, no problems whatsoever http://www.sax.co.uk/selmer-usa-liberty-soprano-saxophone-gold-brass.ir

  Bradley P. asked:

  Does anyone happen to have the Selmer hard flight case for their sax? I have a lesson in London tomorrow with an amazing sax player from NY but I appear to have lost my keys

  

  Bradley P. replied:

  Yeah I thought of that but almost nowhere sells the Selmer hard case (got it from Thomann, and both Sax.co.uk and Howarths are closed on Sundays) but just took it to a 24 hr locksmith and he hit it with a hammer and now at least it's open. Thanks for your help Jenny, Malik and James 😊

  Nick K. asked:

  Anyone know where I can find a Selmer Paris Single Screw Ligature for baritone sax? I can't find them anywhere. I have been playing one for years and absolutely love it, but it is starting to get so worn that I might need a replacement soon. Or any suggestions on another ligature that would be very similar and fit a Selmer s90 well? Thanks

  George W. asked:

  thinking of buying a tenor, any suggestions?

  

  Jim G. replied:

  Not the ref 54 Rob Luft the enemy of the reference will tell you that...for the price of a ref you could get a vintage...just go to howarths or sax.co.uk and try all the mid range horns.

  Kit M. asked:

  Any of you lovely folk got any recommendations for a sax fixing genius? wish to put my hoovers in for a service and also a flute preferably the same person at the same time. Thanks :)) xxx

  

  Becca H. replied:

  Depends where you're based but sax.co.uk (two stores, one in london and one in crowborough) do an excellent job at a good price too!

  

  Sam D. replied:

  I can recommend sax.co.uk in Denmark Street too, but if you want to get both done at the same place for a good price, I have used Just Flutes in Croydon many times in the past for my saxes. Despite the name they have a dedicated saxophone servicing department as well as the established flute business. http://www.justflutes.com/

  Steve J. asked:

  Help/advice needed - I don't know many sax players, as I have been working on me tod (not part of a section) for many years, so don't get a chance to have these geeky chats. I have been using my own 'adapted' mouthpiece by creating quite a high baffle with blu-tac, this creates a very bright sound which is super loud, and great for punching out clear harmonics and punchy attack in the upper register. (but a bit pony in the lower register) However, due to the nature of blu-tac I am constantly having to re-shape it and of course I then get inconsistencies with my tone, and always questioning, is it the reed? is it the sax?, is it the bleddy blu-tac? I am intending to sort this once and for all and am after a super bright sound.. I don't play jazz - so after than cutting noise for pop, funk/fusion etc. So - does anyone know of a mouthpiece doctor that can adapt my own, OR help me reccomend a mouthpiece that suits my requirements? (Dukkoff I hear you shout) Sorry for the ramblings, but many thankings and pleasings. Steve (apologies for lengthy message and over use of (brackets) x

  

  Becca H. replied:

  go to Sax.co.uk for a wide selection of mouthpieces to try :)
