My gun sold...

I just didn't have time to play anymore and I have newer passions, so I sold it .

But I did get $620 with the mag, barrel, tank, and mask

Who knows..I could be back sometime.

What is this newer passion?

I wouldn't call it newer because it's been my passion since I was four. Music. Currently I'm experienced in alto sax, soprano sax, drums, bass, guitar, piano, and I sold my mag to help me fund a tenor sax. I'm going to college for music and I'm majoring in music education.

sweet, what brand of sax did you get?

i'm most experienced with oboe, but as you probably know you can't march in a marching band with an oboe, so i was thinking about getting into sax, probably alto or tenor. I thought i'd probably go with tenor, I've played alot of high pitched instruments, its time for a little change (oboe, picolo, flute). Heh, not to mention all thoes instruments are girly... I dont own the picolo anymore, and the flute is being loaned out right now and i really didn't like playing the flute anyway.

I'm debating whether I'm going to buy new or vintage. If I buy new I'll get a Kessler custom or a selmer series III to match my alto. If I go vintage I'll get an old Conn 10M naked lady or a Buescher Aristocrat.

Counterstrike, All the oboes in our band just turn into pit percussion during marching season.

Yeah, I decided im sick and tired of making reeds (and i hear its harder to make sax reeds then oboe reeds) so i decided im going to get some lessons and go snare or marching bass drum. I had to play cymbols one time because the cymbol guy got sick, I didn't like It, I hope my director doesn't make me play that. I realize how hard it is going to be to learn to play snare in less than 8 months, but im gonna try anyway. Lol hope this works out well

I love my Yamaha 62 mk. II custom-ordered in silver yay! (it's an alto)

Have you looked into cannonball saxes? Personally, I don't like them a whole lot, but they have about a billion different colors if you're bored, and a lot of people DO like them (they have bigger bells, custom stones in the keys, and some stones in other places that most saxes don't have them.

Soon, I may drive up to Gary, IN, and get my silver sax engraved in gold over the whole body. I think it should look schweet.

Through my experiences, I am a fan of Selmer Paris (not USA), Yanigisawa, Cannonball, Keilwerth, vintage conns, vintage bueschers, and vintage the martins. Every single yamaha I've tried (from yas-23's to 82z's) ALL of them thinned out throughout the upper register and were very warbley. I don't think I would ever get one. I'm using a series III 62 alto, but if I had the few extra grand I would have gone with a ref. 54.

Get that new Charlie Parker remake "hummingbird".. if you've got an extra $4500 on you .. (ignores the fact that you want a TENOR, not an alto..)

jacobeid

Funny thing about the hummingbird limited edition....bird didn't use a selmer haha. Great horn, but you're paying way too much extra for some fancy engraving. Plus the ref. 54 finish would match the matte finish on my series III alto. =p
