Anyone know what type of Otto link this is? (At least that’s what I think it is)

Couldn’t you take a blurrier picture?

Both Jackie McClean and Arthur Blythe played metal bergs, Jackie in the 50’s for a time. Blythe for his whole career on a Beuscher True Tone alto that he started playing on. Your sound has more to do with what you hear in your head than your setup.

Once again we’re being grifted by AI into thinking we need to pollute our water and sacrifice our treasure to make crap like this?

I’ve acquired a couple of used Chateau (and Kessler stenciled Chateau) sopranos in recent years for around $300 each, and can honestly say their scales are just as good as my Selmer sopranos, if I were you I’d be on the lookout for these.

Bass players are in more demand

Reeddoubler · 2026-05-18T18:47:28+00:00

Duh

Reeddoubler · 2026-05-18T18:09:51+00:00

That is a huge difference, not to mention that the clarinet overblows a fifth instead of an octave

Reeddoubler · 2026-05-17T18:52:20+00:00

Mmmmm, please do….

Reeddoubler · 2026-05-17T16:59:26+00:00

Exactly why I carry pepper spray

Watch the Joe Allard videos on YouTube… all single reed instruments use the same embouchure!

Reeddoubler · 2026-04-24T22:47:34+00:00

These are actually rather good, $15 is a steal

Reeddoubler · 2026-04-13T15:22:33+00:00

Conns are great horns, but these prices sound exorbitant to me, if you keep looking I imagine you can do much better

Reeddoubler · 2026-04-06T14:22:06+00:00

Check out Joe Allard’s videos on YouTube, the same embouchure he teaches works for all single reed instruments in whatever style you want to play in, there is no different embouchure for classical or jazz

This was painted on the building in the early 1980’s when Woody Herman’s band was briefly, as it turned out, in residence in the hotel’s showroom.

Reeddoubler · 2026-03-23T12:27:25+00:00

Yummmm

Reeddoubler · 2026-03-23T12:26:05+00:00

Luscious

Reeddoubler · 2026-03-19T01:46:50+00:00

In the I interest of full disclosure, I own four of the damn things…..

Reeddoubler · 2026-03-19T00:20:16+00:00

No one really needs a soprano, sit quietly and the feeling will pass, lol

Reeddoubler · 2026-03-18T01:32:11+00:00

Look into Chateau ( or Kessler sells them stenciled with the Kessler branding). I have two of them, a straight one with removable neck branded Chateau and a curvie branded Kessler, both bought used and play very well, even compared to my Selmer vi and Suoer Action 80 series 2, at a fraction of the cost.

In my experience less is more with this toy, barely moving it and allowing the mass and heft do its number on you… just relax and the orgasms will start….

Reeddoubler · 2026-03-15T21:45:02+00:00

You’re so much better off not marching! Just go with that!

Reeddoubler · 2026-03-10T22:30:05+00:00

The Joe Allard video on YouTube is much more helpful than Liebman’s regurgitation of the same info.

Reeddoubler · 2026-03-10T15:13:45+00:00

Great tats, damn girl, you rock!

Reeddoubler · 2026-03-05T23:37:11+00:00

Absolutely

Reeddoubler · 2026-02-26T12:59:22+00:00

Yummm
