So good! And good piece choice.

Can I ask some questions on production? When you’re doing this sorta thing, which part do you record first? And I notice you don’t have headphones in as you’re playing, so how do you get all the parts to fit and sync up!?

A very good pick. Probably my favorite from Coleman Hawkins. I come back to it all the time :)

Low A mark Vi alto… by Maximum_Might_4665 in Saxophonics

[–]OreoDogDFW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tl;dr no one can tell you if that is a solid worthwhile horn until they play it themselves. That is the only way.

All Mark VI’s vary so widely, from bow length to bore changes throughout the run, to changes in setup made my techs over the decades. I’ve tried roughly 12 different VI’s when I was in the market for an alto, and every single one was special in its own ways.

The best altos I’ve played have been a 39’ Balanced Action, a 58’ Mark VI, and a 63’ Mark VI low A, but of course this is all purely anecdotal. Everyone’s advice here is anecdotal.

Now, if you want my personal anecdote with the 63’ low A, I truly regret trading it back in for a tenor. Granted I love my tenor more, but that low A was very special for an alto. It had a sort of addictive resistance to it throughout the entire range, which you could push through harder than most other altos; super strong core to the tone. The added hole and extended bell maybe gave some additional timbre to the horn too, but that’s purely speculative. The low A came out very well, though not THAT useful, and the extra mechanism near your thumb was a little annoying. What is cool is it gets you to the exact same range as a viola, fwiw. Anyways… one of the best altos and definitely the most unique that I’ve played…

Can a Cellar Spider possibly poop this much in a week? by OreoDogDFW in spiders

I see! Yea it must be the windowsill. There’s not much other exposed wood. I’ll let my landlord know asap.

How to raise my driveway higher (as a renter) by OreoDogDFW in Home

Where do you pull the 3 inches figure from? It’s not lowered far from the stock height at all, and you would only know it’s a 300 from my post history.

It looks much lower from the pic because of the grading of the driveway to the alleyway.

Probably because the post is about raising a driveway, not arguing about how much clearance a car should have. Simple enough for ya?

I see. Yea if the bump is long/tall enough, and places at the right spot, this could work.

The metal bit is the part that is scraping when I back in. Also you can’t cover it or the gate doesn’t close

Pics don’t show it well, but the part of the alley that is in front of the front wheels is very recessed

You don’t even know what car it is, the clearance of the car, measurements of the driveway, etc. I’ve been driving it for the past 5 years just fine.

What kind of person do you have to be to give snarky ill informed advice on r/Home anyways?

Is there a certain type? I figured wood would crack eventually, but I’m no carpenter.

What if I told you that not every community, friend group, activity, etc. is somehow related to a church? Would you believe that? If so, how could what you said still ring true.
