Looking forward to wearing those white gloves  :laughing7:
 
I don't know much about saxophones, but it looks shiney. :blob7:

Congrats! :icon_thumright:
 
No strings, no bridge, no pickups..?

Sorry I don't see how this device could work :icon_scratch: !

Seriously, I don't know much about those either but it looks really nice :occasion14:
 
SAXOPHONE?!??!!?! That blows! :occasion14: Congrats. Definately seems fun. I want an accordian.
 
Alto or Tenor? Looks great... The pads not too worn or the buttons sticky... that's usually a problem with used wind instruments.

If you have a tenor sax, you'd be in the same range as the guiatr so learning solos etc won't be too much of a pitch shift, but with an alto sax, you'd have to tranpose and learn the Alto Clef if you wanna sight read.

I take it you know how to play it?

The world needs less accordians, particularly those played by learners......go to your room and pray to St. Jimi for forgiveness  :laughing7: (Worse than flute playing......... :sad: )

A quartet comprising of a flute player, accordian player, bagpiper and yodeller (playing "Stairway to Heaven") would be worse than anything that the interrogators at Guantanemo could contemplate..... :help:

If ya added Rolf, recorded THAT quintet, you would have a weapon so potent that it could be played through loud speakers in the mountains of Pakistan, whooops, better be politically correct and say Afghanistan, and Bin Laden himself would come out of his cave with his hands up, weeping & begging for mercy!  :laughing7:

BTW, I dunno if you know about this - most of us Aussies do as the bloody thing actually charted - but this IS about 3/5ths the way there to the said torture we have mentioned... Including an accordian  :sad:.

Sax can be good when you add a trumpet, a trombone, a punchy bassline, half reggae half metal guitar riffs, and a dark haired girl wearing checkered stockings, a mini skirt and converse shoes. I had the chance to be in a ska band once, and it was memorable. Great fun.

As for accordion... Astor Piazzolla or death. That's my opinion.

Good find.

I hope that you're good with that, and  that you're not on the migratory path of Canada Geese. :laughing7:

As a side note, if anyone knows this band... I'll be shocked:
Radio Radio says "toulmonde besoin plus de Kenny G" (Everyone needs more Kenny G.)
http://www.laradioradio.com/en/music/ - in the album Belmundo Regal, third track from the bottom.
The song is horrible, the band is hilarious live. And the only thing more extreme than their sarcasm is their wit.

Sorry, hijack over.

Sorry, hijack over.

I believe a baritone sax is reminiscient to the sound of a female moose mating call, so if you are in the woods practicing a baritone sax in the wilds of Canada during rutting season be wary of horny moose bulls!  :doh:  :icon_jokercolor:

Could have been worse.... could have been a banjo!~

:laughing7:

I thought owning a banjo meant automatic banning on this forum?  :laughing7:

Back OT though (unusual for me in this Thread.. :tard:..), the burning question is: What are the gloves for? The instrument looks near new. Shhhiiiiny.  :icon_thumright:

Can't believe it made page 2 without anyone saying: "It needs a Floyd".

Well - there you go.  :icon_jokercolor:

That goes without saying. Stop being so obvious.  :blob7:
