Doc,

I looked at your website, and saw that really wild coloured sax on the home page. Is it true that you converted an old c-melody into that? That is quite an accomplishment! How does it play?

It plays great.

I have two altos in the works for straightening and one of them is being converted to low A, a King bari to be straightened, a Buescher stencil bass sax is being restored after being used as a flowerpot; I'm going to do the body in Kameleon purple with 24K gold keys, neck and bell. I have a Conn 6M to restore with the key work updated to modern system, and a Conn 12M to restore w/ conversion to low A. Not to mention the other saxes and clarinets to repair/rebuild.

Wow! What a range of experience on this forum! I have only been playing for about a year...which makes me an absolute beginner...and here is the funny part, I am 61 (hah!). Though I've been at the piano for years woodwinds are new to me.

This forum proves that chronological age has little to do with saxophone knowledge. I have already learned more from people in high school in this forum than I have from my peers (who are too set in their ways). You all are smarter and nicer than the people I was in school with.

Do I regret not picking up the saxophone in high school? You bet! So you are way ahead of me, but I can learn from the more experienced of you. Thanks for being here.

Thanks, 88, that means a lot to us. I guess us band students are just a completely different body from the rest of high school. As the French say, "avant-garde". Cool
