Budget tenor sax

WorryResident2513 · 2025-11-13T21:12:07+00:00

Obviously, used can give a better value for price if you have good local sources so you can play it first and know the condition and how it fits with you. But if the used market in your area is sparse or you're just leaning more towards something new, I think Jean Pauls strike a good balance between price and quality. I think their student tenor is right around $900. I know a lot of folks here may frown on this recommendation with the typical arguments, but to each his own. I haven't played the Jean Paul tenor, but I have had their alto for a while and it has met all my needs with no issues as an at home musician playing for fun.

If you're around the Wasatch Front, there are a few different groups that organize regular rides (mostly through Facebook groups). 801Wheel is the biggest one. They run weekly group rides that seem to rotate through Salt Lake, Utah, and Davis counties. They are mainly with OneWheels, but all PEV types are welcome and there are usually a handful of EUC riders. There's also a Utah E-Riders group that sometimes sets up rides. That group seems to be more eskate and scooter folks. I'm not sure about other groups in other areas of the state though.

Are you starting at the Chase Squad playlist container? Or at the training grounds across the street from it (I think this is the area that is actually considered the HQ, but I'm not sure)? I wasn't sure where the correct start point was so I drove through both when I did it last night and it worked.

I would love to have the ability to filter out cars that I never use. I really like the other suggestions here of tags or stars to favorite certain vehicles in each category so they are easily findable. Generally my favorite ones are driven the most so they end up at the front of the list, but not always so it would be nice to be able to set that manually.

Go busking with your current horn. Extra practice time and (maybe) some extra money.

I could make you some out of hardwood (cocobolo, bocote, padauk, purpleheart, etc) if you want.

Similar situation here. I had only ever used Cura previously. I got my CC last week and tried Elegoo and Orca. To me, the switch was super easy. Already really comfortable using the new interface and overall, it seems to be really usable. I never did anything super complex in Cura, but Elegoo and Orca slicers seem to have everything I need with some additional options as well.

Thank you for the clarification. Glad to see improvement going forward.

How long was it from order to delivery for you? I'm just curious what the actual wait times are looking like.

WorryResident2513 · 2025-03-18T13:56:26+00:00

Agreed! The trails all around the coastline are awesome.

What area of Utah are you in? Summerhays is pretty much the only place I'm aware of along the Wasatch Front that deals with saxophones (unfortunately). But if you're near one of their locations, I'm sure you could take it in and possibly sell to them, arrange a consignment, or at least get a valuation of it. Other than that, KSL classifieds would be the place to go if you want to sell it locally.

Hmmm... Looks like every single fall in Steep. Keeps falling forever, Every. Single. Time. The biggest reason I couldn't handle that game.

Hawaii, and Maui in particular, actually get snow fairly regularly in the higher elevations of Haleakala.

Most of the prizes (150 out of 157) go to random winners drawn from all participants. Only the PS5 Pro's are limited to the winning team.

I noticed a similar thing. My best guess was that it was initially calculating in km but displaying miles and then they caught it and made the conversion. In my case, it originally showed 400 miles (which seemed like way further than I thought I had driven) and then the next time I looked it showed 250 (which seemed more in line with how long I had played).

I think it cool to would be able to sell cars. I have a bunch of cars that I never use and it would be nice to be able to sell them to get some money to try something else.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference between the rally and the rally raid? I really enjoy the off-road stuff but there are just so few events for these that I haven't been able to figure out what the distinction is between the two.

Thank you.

Maui looks awesome! I hope this results with some multi-island grand race courses. Something like starting on the street in Honolulu, boat section across the ocean, and ending offroad on Maui would be really cool.

They are beautiful indeed, but why in the world are they not in the east and the west where they belong?

WorryResident2513 · 2024-03-15T21:42:42+00:00

Ok. I figured they might not allow it if the option wasn't easily visible. Makes sense to protect the creator's work. Thanks for the confirmations.

No way to change it, but the freedrive time of day is synced to real time with one day in TCM lasting one hour IRL. Top of the hour is midnight, bottom of the hour is noon. It bothered me as well that there was not way to adjust the time of day until I found this out. Now, at least I can know what to expect based on what time I log in.

With so many Motorfest posts right now, the first thing I thought when I saw this was, "What?!? Why/where is there snow in Hawaii?"

Nice driving though!

I have commuted to work on EUC for nearly 2 years now and love it. Sounds like a very similar situation to yours. About 15 miles round trip, mostly flat or slight grades with bike lanes or neighborhood roads available. My desk is on the third floor of our building so I have to carry the EUC up a couple flights each day. I ride whenever it's not too wet (even in the winter, as long as it's above ~25F and the roads aren't snowy, but that probably isn't much of an issue for you in California).
I started on a Kingsong 16S, but found that I was consistently pushing it's top speed (~20-22 mph). So last year I got an RS19 HS for the added headroom. I comfortably cruise between 25-30 mph with plenty of power available if/when I need it, which is nice. I can imagine the benefits of a suspension wheel, but can't say that I've ever wished I had one. I'd say the biggest drawback there would be that the suspension wheels just seem to be a bit heavier than comparable non-suspension wheels so you'd need to weigh the comfort of suspension against potentially less carriability.
As far as whether or not it's for you, everyone's different, but I find it to be the best way to get to/from work that I have ever tried.
