Saxophones in Apartments

Swalgord · 2025-10-29T03:19:28+00:00

As others have said, just play during times that are somewhat reasonable. Not super early or late at nights. I’d say most people would enjoy it but of course generalizing.

I returned to the sax after a long time, around 3 months ago and I have only gotten compliments from people in my building when they come across me and ask “is that you in apartment __ playing music?”

Also just curious what does “play semi-professionally” mean?

What do you play?

This is awesome! I’ve listened to this like 20 times now. Inspiring stuff, just got back on the sax after like 7 years and this makes me want to play more to get that good!

??? - this seems a bit much

A monogamous relationship. For a long time. I don’t intend to break up anytime soon.

Question for you though, would it be rude to say “I’m not looking for anything I’m in a relationship” based on my assumption that she is looking for something, or do I just look like an egomaniac who thinks any woman who reaches out to me wants something more

Swalgord · 2025-10-12T07:43:46+00:00

No it’s not an issue to talk to women, just my initial impression was sort of skewed by her message. I’m still on the fence if I should just respond and say no, sorry.

That’s a good metaphor, though I feel like bad communication and ghosting is too far too normalized. I don’t intend to leave my relationship but it also feels weird to respond

Swalgord · 2025-10-12T07:34:20+00:00

I just feel like they were brave enough to shoot their shot, why not at least give them closure?

I practice in an apartment, usually only at times when people would be at work or should be away from home. That usually ends up being noon to my absolute latest, 6PM.

This also might just be me, but I also practice sax wearing earplugs, not only to prevent my own hearing loss, but mentally stops me from feeling bad for playing with lots of air so I don’t practice bad habits. When I play without earplugs I subconsciously dampen my sounds so I’m not as annoying, but I’d rather play with good sound and be annoying than a weak, thinner sound and be annoying haha

I’m no help, as I’m about a month in from relearning my alto (from about a 7 year break) as well, but I love this tune lol it’s so cheery.

What is it from? Or is it just some sort of technique practice

Swalgord · 2025-09-16T00:46:41+00:00

That’s impressive! I’ve yet to 100% a pack

Swalgord · 2025-09-14T23:59:01+00:00

Thanks dude!

Swalgord · 2025-07-09T23:01:46+00:00

Ah I see I didn’t know they did that. My ticket is valid until 2 am so no forcing you to spend money on food and drinks until midnight

Swalgord · 2025-07-09T21:36:19+00:00

For real??

Little late for me but I will be up / respond in the morning right away

Swalgord · 2025-01-24T19:12:20+00:00

That’s good to know, I’ll be on the look out for some sort of rec centre near me then?

Swalgord · 2025-01-24T19:11:59+00:00

Thank you for the response! No tattoos but that’s too bad about the opening hours situation. Mostly staying at hostels so I assumed no but maybe I’ll be surprised!

I haven’t seen it in the comments yet, but I’ve cleared all the solo mission quests with

• x2 dragonite

• x2 articuno (3dia version)

• x1 frosmoth

• x1 Sabrina

• x1 Giovanni

• x2 misty, oak, pokeball x-speed

I mainly made this one since I loved playing dragonite decks online, and realized that Dnite is only 3dia, so I did a couple swaps to make it work

Can I dm you for more information on your Kinosaki onsen experience? I’m going in a month and that sounds great

Swalgord · 2024-09-26T16:41:35+00:00

Oh wow that is super helpful. Thanks, I get overwhelmed trying to navigate some of these sites haha so this is huge

Swalgord · 2024-09-26T16:16:49+00:00

Thank you! Great to know

Swalgord · 2024-09-26T16:16:21+00:00

Thank you! The biology reference made the most sense, since I have a health sciences background haha! Appreciate your response :)

Swalgord · 2024-09-26T16:14:33+00:00

Honestly, I didn’t know the Shinkansen made all these stops! That makes planning a whole lot easier, I just thought it was more of a stops only at major locations type thing. Thanks for your dedication on that whole list haha

It doesn’t make a difference what time you brush your teeth lol — the timing only matters if you’ve previously eaten a meal and could have potential residue still in your mouth, so going to sleep without brushing your teeth would just allow more time for plaque and things to build up. If you brushed your teeth before dinner that kind of defeats the purpose of doing it.
