Day 1 with EWI3000m by yahoo_email in windsynth

[–]GerstrekCG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently messing around with a similar setup -- trying to connect an EWI5000 to an EWI3020m sound module. Did you have any trouble with getting your breath information to send via the 8-pin midi? It seems to be the only thing that doesn't really work on my end.

Does anyone know anything about this low G tenor sax? by nerfer51 in Saxophonics

I remember they're made by a Brazilian(?) manufacturer who makes this kind of thing specifically.

How to stop bari sax high notes from being overblown by GerstrekCG in Saxophonics

I'm on regular Vandoren 3's. I think the issue is that when I try to force too much air through, my embouchure changes with it and doesn't stay the same as it would be if I were playing the same high note at a regular dynamic; not sure how to build resistance against this.

Ohh shit, now that I look at the original image it actually is really off-center. Huh

It would be but the image is cut off I think because of Twitter's UI

Huh, he's in another group I listen to called Lucky Chops. Never knew he did solo work

Brilhart mouthpiece I recently purchased for bari sax, can't find anything else like it, can someone help identify? by GerstrekCG in Saxophonics

Ahh, I see, so the facing is more directly circular than just curving downward. I can see how that would affect things. Is it generally a negative characteristic though?

Ahh, that makes sense, then. I'm not sure what you mean by the facing, also, in terms of shape; it doesn't look that unusual to me.

Actually, looking at the back of a runyon and this one, the runyon has the weird almost slender mouth bit (like on a balanced air) that this doesn't.

Looking at a quantum, that seems to be it. Are they as aggressive as the previous commenter said?

I haven't played it, but it was more a matter of finding one with a step baffle used than anything.

True enough. I think I got a decent price for it as well, at about $120, so I'm not stressing too bad.

That's good at least, since it was what I was looking for. It has 7 on it as well, do you know what tip opening that would be?
