Where can i get some of this made relatively cheaply?

I have already found somewhere i can get 0.5 yards of it for about £17, and a yard for £32, but is there anywhere i could maybe get it made cheaper? I would be getting it in cotton or a poly cotton or even wool. are there any manufacturers that can make a custom tartan like this or is it worth just getting the fabric from the places i have found?

Is it worth learning clarinet as well before learning sax?

I am wanting to learn sax as mentioned in the title, but I cannot afford a sax, even a ‘cheap‘ one that is actually worth or a second hand sax in good condition it is still a few hundred pounds and i do not have a few hundred pounds, but i can afford a student yamaha clarinet ( second hand ) and from what i have been told, it is relatively easy to transition from clarinet to saxophone. i cannot just get a sax by saving as i would like to learn to play (clarinet or saxophone) for a jazz thing i have with my friends in the summer of 2027. And if i can learn clarinet I think my parents may be more willing to help me towards a saxophone.

so is it worth learning clarinet before saxophone, ie will it help with playing saxophone?

Which is better?

I was looking at getting back into clarinet, and was looking at the ‘forte cl1 Bb clarinet outfit’ and the ‘student clarinet by gear4music’ they are both affordable for me, I will be buying a better mouthpiece but i was hoping to find out which one would be better for me.

the first photo is the forte and the second is the gear4music

edit: thanks for the advice, i have been looking at some second hand yamahas and jupiters

Where should i sew on my badges?

Im in explorers (uk) and i got this short sleeve shirt for my uniform instead of a long sleeve one or a change, it didn’t really matter what i chose because my group spends most of our meeting not in uniform and when we are in uniform we are usually inside. But i still need to sew my badges on. for my right sleeve ( left side of the first image ) i need my group ribbon and county/district badge. And below it i need my Yorkshire challenge badges (county specific) and space for my young leader acorn badge and the you shape badge, but my sleeve is not long enough for all of them, and i was wondering if anyone knows how i should arrange my badges, or if i should just get a long sleeved shirt and use this short sleeve one for the WSJ next year?

Opinions on the gear4music saxophones?

So in looking qt getting my first sax, and price wise these seem to be good value - money, id like to be able to use whichever sax i go with for a few years, if anyone has any experience with either of these, the first photos is the gear4music saxophone and the second photo is of the rosedale professional saxophone by gear4music. Price is a factor as i would have to save a while to spend on a sax

What instrument should i learn?

I used to be able to play the clarinet but i quit after a while, and i would like to return to playing an instrument, but cannot decide between the saxophone, clarinet and trumpet, all of these would be from square one as I cannot remember anything from when i ayed clarinet. I do know how to ’buzz’ my lips to produce sound for the trumpet but i cannot play any songs or anything in that sense.

Ok but how?

my printer has been making little blemishes like in the second photo for a few weeks and this morning i woke up and thought to just see how bad it is of if it needs recalibrating so i decided to print a benchy (photo 1) and it turned out questionable, dose anyone know how i should go about fixing the blemishes and the benchy problem?

printed with:

anycubic kobra 2 neo

PLA at 60 bed temp and 215 nozzle temp (Celsius)

printed at 100% speed (the default setting)

the benchy file came with my printer pre downloaded but for all my models like the one in the 2nd I use anycubic slicer

How should I start writing my first book?

So I have made character profiles and have the knowledge of the main characters as if i know them myself, and I have a moderate idea of the story and 2-3 snippets of conversations and scenes written up in draft form, but what else am I missing? I would like to be able to get writing and once i get into the flow of it the book will be done in no time.

Why is the olympus superzoom 760 impossible to find?

It genuinely seems like this camera has just blipped out if existence, it doesn't appear on ebay, vinted or anywhere. its annoying because i’d really like to own one and a fully auto 35mm is a game changer, might settle for the 800 if i can‘t find it soon.
