  Terry Q. asked:

  SOUTHWEST UK SAX PLAYERS - HELP! I need a repair done to the neck (octave key) of my tenor ASAP!! Like today! Some d**kless piece of s**t must have knocked it over after the gig tonight while I was retrieving the case. It doesn't matter anyway. Ultimately it's my own damn fault. So, does anybody know of somebody who could help me out? It's not a big job, but not something I want to attempt myself.

  Steve J. asked:

  Help/advice needed - I don't know many sax players, as I have been working on me tod (not part of a section) for many years, so don't get a chance to have these geeky chats. I have been using my own 'adapted' mouthpiece by creating quite a high baffle with blu-tac, this creates a very bright sound which is super loud, and great for punching out clear harmonics and punchy attack in the upper register. (but a bit pony in the lower register) However, due to the nature of blu-tac I am constantly having to re-shape it and of course I then get inconsistencies with my tone, and always questioning, is it the reed? is it the sax?, is it the bleddy blu-tac? I am intending to sort this once and for all and am after a super bright sound.. I don't play jazz - so after than cutting noise for pop, funk/fusion etc. So - does anyone know of a mouthpiece doctor that can adapt my own, OR help me reccomend a mouthpiece that suits my requirements? (Dukkoff I hear you shout) Sorry for the ramblings, but many thankings and pleasings. Steve (apologies for lengthy message and over use of (brackets) x
