| mouthpieces may just peak your interest. | | | | I vowed to never let that happen again. |
| I'll admit right here that the saxophone has always | | | | The brand of saxophone that you own really doesn't |
| been one of my favorite instruments. I really like the | | | | matter when it copes to quality accessories. Conn, |
| band music of the late 1920's and early 1930's - these | | | | Selmer Eb, or Yamaha instruments function all the |
| guys just got "it" and I listen to this music whenever I | | | | same, if you don't start with a quality mouthpiece, then |
| can. Especially band leaders like Guy Lombardo, who | | | | the music won't have a chance to "get its voice" |
| played for years and always had a bunch of | | | | regardless of the quality of your saxophone. The |
| saxophones in most songs. The same goes for Glenn | | | | mouthpiece and the reed both work together to form |
| Miller, who used the saxophone along with other | | | | that mellow and edgy sound of the saxophone - alto, |

| great intonation and, of course, the best quality and rich | | | | break! Then, they wonder why the sounds they hear |
| tone throughout the range of the instrument that you | | | | from those golden, brassy tubes sounds so awful. |

| You wouldn't believe that even the slightest quality or | | | | always buy for the value and the quality of the |
