    A qualification about Snap-In pads...Yes, they were proof of concept for resonators in saxophones. And they greatly simplify a single-pad repair in the field. But you DO have to seat and probably also shim that pad! Doing a whole horn this way guarantees frustration. I tried it. $150 and a lot of time and stick shellac later, my tech had it singing.

  • @RatPfink66
    @RatPfink66 7 місяців тому

    H.N. White (dba King) doesn't seem to have made a lot of stencil horns beside their own Cleveland brand. They used shallow conical, clarinet style keycups, which might have betrayed the horns' origins too easily. OTOH Martin used beveled toneholes on their stencil saxes, just as on the brand name. But they're harder to spot at a glance.

  • @RatPfink66
    @RatPfink66 7 місяців тому

    It's tempting to call Bueschers a "classical" horn. It's part of the reason jazz players steer clear of them. Another reason is lack of name cachet - Buescher shared directors with Conn for years, and Conn got almost all the endorsement deals until Selmer started taking over the pro market. But there really wasn't a classical saxophone teaching/recital tradition in the US till it originated around Cecil Leeson in the 30s. (He played Martins, btw.) We got Sigurd Rascher as an emigré during WW2, and Larry Teal began teaching on Selmers after the war. However, there was a _pre_-classical precedent. Gus Buescher modeled his 1888 Conn on an Adolphe Sax alto whose timbre he liked. And he kept that horn, and modeled his saxes on it when he began his own company. He felt strongly enough about it to appear with it in a short film in 1924. It was a 1928 True-Tone that Rascher chose back in Germany, learning somewhere along the way that the horn and mouthpiece were inspired by Sax. In 1933 he replaced it with a New Aristocrat, which he played till retirement. This is the one sax _least_ associated with jazz (a shame - they're incredible instruments).

  • @RatPfink66
    @RatPfink66 7 місяців тому

    I've been told - mostly by old New York players - that you can't really get around on a 10M. I think they meant with scales, arpeggios, and a metronome, rather than just blowin'.
