The LT I got a couple years ago and I've hardly played it: $95 The Soloist is $125 (its in great condition)...its a great mouthpiece, but I hardly play it because its not what I want for legit, and its definitely not a jazz piece to me. I don't know if this is the case with vintage soloists, or it is my cork, but the soloist is too big for my horn's cork and i have to use paper to keep it on there... any thoughts?

Sorry... this post seems to have been posted near the top rather than down here... ____________________________________ Hey, I play all of the saxes even the grafton. I recently played the Soprillo, Sopranino, Slide C-Soprano, Straight Tenor, and Contrabass at a show in Santa Anita with the Violent Femmes. I played on 7 songs: -Waiting for the Bus----------------- straight tenor -Mirror Mirror (I see a damsel)----- Contrabass -I Held her in my arms-------------- Contrabass -Some "classical Beethoven piece"...... I played some really fast jazz licks in F then worked down to low F .... then I played Blister In The Sun. The crowd went nuts! Brian Ritchie introduced the "Classical" piece, so the crowd didn't know what to expect~ it was awesome!-------------- Contrabass -Black Girls------------------------------ Contrabass -Confessions---------------------------- Contrabass -Gone Daddy Gone---------------- Swanee slide sax -Brian Ritchie closed the show with a five minute circular breathing solo on the Orsi curved SOPRANINO! It was amazing, and the contrast between the contrabass & sopranino on stage was ridiculously.....amazing (at a loss for words). Playing with the Femmes is awesome and allows me to showcase some of the more unknow saxes. I am glad to be a member of the Horns of Dilemma. ~Blaise~

while I drool at all your setups, I'll put mine in. School Tenor YTS23 (it's been through some rough times, and shows it) 4C Yamaha Standard Lig Whatever I can find around in my locker for reeds, usually a V16 Regular Tenor YTS62II Stock Mouthpiece Robert Vinson Lig My best reeds are those expensive alexanders, right now I'm experimenting. Clarinet ( dont' play very much, I have a special disliking for it) Selmer USA student clarinet stock lig and mouthpiece Mitchell Lurie Single Premium Reeds I hate the clarinet, but it might just be my mouthpiece. What's a really good clarinet mouthpiece that gives you a "almost good as a sax" tone?

I don't have anything special but though I would share. Alto Legit: Selmer AS500 Selmer C* S80 Stock Ligature Vandoren Blue Box Reeds 3 Also Jazz: Selmer AS500 Meyer 6M Rovner Light Ligature Alexander Superial 2 1/2 Still waiting for this to arrive: Tenor Yamaha YTS-62II - Silver Plate Otto Link NY 7 Rovner Dark Ligature Haven't decided on reeds yet I also own a Selmer Bundy II alto that is just sitting in the closet. I am thinking of donating it to one of the inner city schools here in KC.

I play Alto, but I only have that. I'm working on getting a flute for doubling in Big Bands and maybe a Tenor. Alto (legit): '73 Selmer Mark VII C* S80 Rovner Dark Vandroen Blue Box 3 1/2 Alto (jazz): '73 Selmer Mark VII Meyer 5M(Combo) Claude Lakey 5*3(Big Band) Rovner medium Vandroen ZZ 3 1/2 I really love this set up. I get a great sound and that works for me.

I wouldnt donate it - I work at a music store and thos kids just beat everything they see to ......

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. I know the music instructor at one of the area middle schools... I will check with her about it and see what she thinks. If worse comes to worse I could always hold onto it in case a neice or nephew want to play.

Alto: Selmer 62 Series 3 S90 Selmer Paris Mouth Piece Olegature and Vandoren Lig. Vandoren 3's High D,E,F Pads Bari: Yahama YBS-52 Otto Link 24k Gold Plated Mouth Piece Crappy La Voz.... Vandoren JAVA or ZZ's in the very near future
