Never, EVER, give your piccolo the night off.

If I was in the President's Band, this is how I'd play the final chorus of the Stars and Stripes Forever...... I know, I know, my last day on the band..... :...

Played one of their bass trombones at TMEA, impressive performance and dramatic reduction in weight. Responded in all registers as well as my Edward's.

This summers income is reserved to upgrade my Edwards' bell, slide and maybe even tuning slides. Hoping the weight reduction let's me play again.

This is a one year old step-up Yamaha yts-480 tenor saxophone. The only thing holding the post on the horn was the lacquer, almost no solder and it was a cold joint. Surprised it lasted this long. Guess that speaks to the quality of the lacquer work, since the build quality sucked.

I am still here and happy to help out any musician with an instrument issue.

Sadly, many now rent instruments that require them to return the instrument to where they rent it from for repairs.

1) you are paying WAY too much in the end for that instrument
2) when you take it for repairs, they send it out to a 3rd party shop and it takes weeks for you to get your instrument back
3) when you get it back it probably still doesn't work properly.

Buy used, buy outright, and contact me for repairs or if you need to sell an instrument.

Extensive French horn valve refit. A lot of rattle on both axis.

That moment when YOU realize you need to practice A LOT more. This performance blew my mind.
