Between the two which do you personally prefer? I’m potentially buying a conn naked lady for 2,000$ it’s in playable condition and it’ll either be my main tenor or backup depending on if I like it more than my Martin, it’ll be paired with a GS slant mouthpiece
Found this on eBay and it’s in the same state as me about a 2 hours drive, seller wants 2250$ for it, 1936 dated with rolled tone holes, what are your thoughts? Serial number 274579
Bought some puttee hooks and I’m just wondering what the correct placement is of these hooks, on the edge or the center?
For anyone buying nestof branded pouches be prepared to re-dye them brown or black, my pair are basically orange.
That red thing is a Milwaukee drill in the back ground
Been really getting into the early days of jazz and have fallen in love with collaborative album of Hawkins and Webster.
Little comparison after a days work of de-farbing
Made a deal with a friend for his tornister project, all I need are straps, I found originals but would prefer repros since I’ll be using this pack regularly
Found this listing on my local Facebook marketplace, the original owner is third from the left in the back row in the last photo. I believe it’s a conn new wonder tenor in a silver lacquer. Owner wants 250$ for it what do you guys think?
Definitely needs some work on the keys but to me it’s a pretty good price and I don’t see any dents
My main mouthpiece is a brillhart tonalin paired with my Martin committee iii, it’s a size 3 mouthpiece. I’m looking to get something similar in terms of looks but in a size 5 or 6 and would love any recommendations, I’m a sucker for a white mouthpiece on a gold lacquered sax, I mostly play jazz.
Got this from my grandpas friend who’s late husband played, the notes definitely don’t come out and it’s very hard to control compared to my Martin committee iii just curious to see how much a full run through and service would cost.
Potentially thinking about this as my next purchase, I haven’t in a while but thoroughly enjoyed playing from the age of 10-19, my main tenor is a “The Martin” tenor from the 50s it’s a great horn but it’s lacking something to me, I mainly played Yamahas and they have been just as good if not better in terms of functionality, I’d love to get an older sax from the 20s to 40s like a buescher aristocrat. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated
I’m a wwi reenactor, I love taking photos to keep as a reminder of all the fun I have with my fellow nerds. My only camera I own is an Agfa Billy-record camera from 1936, it may just be user error because I’m pretty new to photography but what are some tips I can do to get my subjects in the frame and not have their body be cut out of the frame? I used the smallest distance setting 6 to 16 feet, is it just a case of walking farther away before I take my shot?
