Wow you are selling a lot of stuff - your health ok? Praying...

Ya dents make the journey for air shorter, so sharpness occurs

Great news!

I found that Alto was an easier switch I prefer the sound of Tenor but you can use your muscle memories with the first three fingers of the right hand on Alto with some early success - have fun!

@Anthony-Lenzo had that big Harry James sound

Hi New Here!

So sorry - thanx for all you do

Whats up with the upside-down water key in foto #1?

If anyone loses money to this loser it should be reported to the Better Business Bureau

It was my impression that the attitude not of a stern teacher, but rather that of a very pushy salesperson wanting my money more than to help me improve - even telling me to stop supporting my son so I could pay for lessons

@administrator Your calling to this is worthy of big wampum, but I'm a trumpet player LOL thanx for all you do!

@thornybob pretty much my experience too - played trumpet HARD with a blues/rock/Steely Dan/Chicago band and I think I gave them my last efforts - ah well, off to Alto Sax - the right hand three fingers mimic trumpet quite well

@tjcombo right on! The cycle/circle is great for so many standard changes like the Blues, which so foundational to more complicated changes! I use it lots!

Hi! If younger people work in all keys, that will benefit them if later in life if they develop an interest in jazz improvisation - improvising creatively involves changing keys quickly and effectively

Re: Embouchure Dystonia

@SSmith1226 thanking God with you

@Trumpetb well said

@barliman2001 good point!

@Trumpetb man if you can catch them in the act (notice a recording on someone's site) send em an eye-opening bill - on the front side, a 'please no recordings' message can't hurt - I think the majority don't know the legalities of intellectual property, but if they are selling it, that's shameful - stuff I play wont make them any money LOL

@Trumpetb theft is agredious no matter the form - what you are referring is the concert version of snatch and grab
