HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :-) Kelsey

happy birthday day kara -stobie...or andrew

thanks!

so what's goin on andrew? havent talked to you in a while. nothing much round here...it's so cold outside with all the snow and stuff!! I'm still searching for the perfect sax in the price range....not much luck so far though. I have some friends who go to Berklee, so i'm gonna see if they can get me any discounts or anything. I really want to go to their summer programs this year! My mom said i can only go if i don't do lacrosse camp or a church missions trip...... hard choice.... so my huge breakup is all gone now. I'm not sad over it anymore because i realized that everything happens for a reason.... and if that guy said he never really loved me, so be it. i would think i'd deserve someone who actually CARES.... since i'm not sad, the slow song for district band isn't as emotional now lol. that sorta sux because the auditions are this saturday. i'm sooo nervous -- my teacher said he thinks i have a really good chance, but they only take 3 or 4 altos....so good luck to me. lol. plus i'm only a freshman. my teacher is awesome though ...he's played with like the four tops, and the temptations and stuff. I really want to be as good as him someday - he's amazing on the sax. well i g2g cya, Kara

I'd say go to the jamey aebersold workshops, they work wonders. Anywho, I have a SBA Alto, for Jazz and a artist series alto (the silver one) for concert. It works well for jazz abd concert though. I'd say it's a great pro sax, as in, people who say they are intermediate haven't relly picked one up to actually find out. The only problem I'd say is if you're playin' out real loud to fill in a 4,000 seat auditriom w/out a mike, go for a vintage. I got my SBA for 2,500, decent price. The artist will back up on you if, so it's not to good for flexibility or altissimo (good for concert and latin music anyway). HOWEVER, THE ARTIST IS MADE OF STERLING SILVER AND WILL DENT VERY EASILY. So it's not the best choice for marching band. If you're goin' for jazz, I'd say vintage selmer sba or vi if you can find it at the right price, concert band, the artist will do just fine. O, and Keilwerth saxes are great (they just don't fit in all cases). I bought an old conn 10m from 1954, and it had some damage, so I use my friend's ST90, it doesn't have the same tonal quality as the 10m, but it plays great, and you can really sing with it. Have fun. Carlos-sophomore (performing arts high school)

what do you mean they dont fit in all cases?

i mean that the saxes design doesn't fit in most carrying cases

ooooh alright.
