Re: What's your setup?
Well, I'm a player, not a collector, so that post is a little hard to follow...
Soprano
Yanagisawa S9930
Morgan jazz piece
Morgan Excalibur
Franois Louis Lig/Alexander DCs
Alto
'54 MkVI
6*-8* hard rubber links(depends on the band and style)
Stock ligs or Olegature/Vandorens or DCs
Selmer Ref(don't use it much at all)
No particular setup
YAS 875-EX
Morgan Jazz
Morgan Excalibur
Alexander superial DCs
Tenor
Selmer Model 52 Series II
In the process of switching setups right now.
I sold my sopranino, because I just never really had a use for it. I'm really an alto player, and usually only play the tenor and soprano in small groups.

Re: What's your setup?
I am pretty sure blaise plays most fo those, except perhaps the grafton.
But any ways, where is your subcontrabass? I though you had one?

What's your setup?
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.

Re: What's your setup?
I'll put in my setup, too . . .
SOPRANO (jazz)
-Yanagisawa S9930 (straight)
-Selmer S80 d mpc or Otto Link Metal 6*
-Stock lig
-La Voz med hard reed
ALTO (legit)
-Yamaha Custom Z (silver)
-Selmer S80 C* mpc
-Rovner Dark lig
-La Voz med or med hard reed
ALTO (jazz)
-Yamaha Custom Z (silver)
-Meyer 6M mpc
-Stock (Meyer) lig or Olegature
-La Voz med
TENOR (jazz)
-Selmer Mark VI ('54 or '55)
-Otto Link Custom Tenney 7* mpc or E. Rousseau SJ7
-Stock ligs
-La Voz med soft or Rico Royal 2 1/2 reeds
I really enjoy playing all my setups. My soprano gives me a great tone for jazz and is very consistent. My jazz alto (which I play the most) sounds like a true jazz alto should, and my legit is very controlled and smooth, but not quite as "dark" as I would like it to be (something I'm working on). Tenor is good, also.

Re: What's your setup?
A sliver 82z would be hard to tame for legit. I understand why you're having issues trying to get a darker tone. The Z was more aimed at jazz players as it is, and with the silver plate on it, it's got to be a tonal nightmare as far a legit.

Re: What's your setup?
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?

Re: What's your setup?
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?

Re: What's your setup?
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.
