  Jennifer C. asked:

  Is there a music shop here in town that sells instruments or instrument parts? I’m looking for a alto reed and mouth piece for a conn sax.

  

  Meg H. replied:

  I'd recommend Olathe Band. They are located near Olathe Lake. Not sure of their Saturday hours. Depending on how quickly you need them, I've ordered from woodwindbrasswind.com and feel like their prices are very reasonable.

  Lilyana R. asked:

  Can an instrument pitched at 437,5 be used successfully with modern ensembles? I realize that many bands tune to 440 and orchestras to 442. Any advice from those in the know would be greatly...

  

  Hi Lilyana, It seems to me that if it's really badly flat when it's pushed all the way in, maybe just a different mouthpiece (or reed? to make it easier to lip up?) could make a significant difference. *But I'm not an expert*. I struggled with a bassett horn (tenor clarinet) for months, and mouthpieces made a lot of difference, both in intonation AND playability. I don't know what kind of selection you can get for a bass, either, but woodwindbrasswind.com (I hope that's right) should give you a good basic sense of your (more or less "commercial") options. Best,
