Lots of great advice here - and a particular thank-you for urging young students to seek their teachers' recommendations. It doesn't help anyone when a kid shows up to a lesson with a "Christmas present" that wasn't informed by any input from the teacher.

Great video! I don’t often listen to my own advice in this regard, so thanks for the insights and reminders of the patience required!

[@robertyoungsax]

Thanks Tim!! Much appreciated!

Poderia fazer um vídeo explicando, como funciona essa peça no tudel depois da boquilha?

[@jeffreyjfleung]

What’re your thoughts on the Selmer Paris Supreme vs the series iii for classical? I’m looking to get a selmer but unsure how the supreme matches up with the series iii.

[@robertyoungsax]

They are both good horns. I have only spent a little time on the supreme. They are amazing. All of my students and collegues that play on a supreme find it great! I think after some time I will be selling my Series III and purchasing a Supreme. I personally like the intonation in the middle of the instrument.

If I understand correctly (based on what the Selmer rep told me at the Navy Band Symposium last month), the Series III alto is no longer in production. For alto, the choices are Axos, Signature, Supreme, and Series II. A quick look at the Selmer web site seems to confirm this.

[@robertyoungsax]

That is correct. Selmer does not make any more series iii altos. However you can still find them. But, yes series iii altos are discontinued!
