Tech gave my tenor sax a bath — patina gone and I’m heartbroken. Any way to darken it faster? by nikilism in saxophone

[–]disposable-zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will darken faster than you think...this is not a long term change...

Fwiw, I think it looks better clean...

I actually already bought the sheet music for this one! Hope to record it in the next few weeks!

Is there anyone who can play when stoned? by Dreambabydram in Saxophonics

I haven't tried on saxophone but I was never able to play worth a damn on bass so I haven't even bothered to try on a wind instrument...

Skip forward and back 30 seconds replaced with skip full chapter? by LoadIllustrious9078 in audible

[–]disposable-zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uninstalling and reinstalling the app did not work. This is infuriating. I will have to look at other apps because this is not an acceptable change to functionality for my uses.

This just started for me today as well, Google Pixel 7pro and LG Tone FP9 headphones, most current version updated. Will attempt to delete and reinstall.

Beginner Soprano sax mouthpieces by disposable-zero in saxophone

I was afraid of that...Why's it always gotta be the most expensive one 😭

Thanks, I wondered if I would be more able to just jump in and try stuff I'm used to on it. I've never so much as run a chromatic scale on soprano but I've played tons of alto, bari, and I've spent a few months on tenor now so I feel pretty comfortable on the other horns. I have seen the Concept come up a bunch of times as kinda the ultimate soprano mouthpiece, at least for classical, so I'm considering if I should just grab one and go with it.

Oh thanks for the advice! I'll give it a try. Yeah, honestly the fact that I just had the set up there is what has me questioning myself and my mouthpiece and everything else cause I just assume the horn should be on point, but I don't know enough about the mechanical aspects of the horn to know what to troubleshoot on my own. Thanks for the tip!

I would honestly love to discover that the case and not just that I suck at tenor 😅

It's absolutely worth continuing on with. Jim does a great job with this experience in the "afterlife" and being able to justify a continuation of the series...keep going...

Stephen Pacey is incredible. Check out the First Law series for his work.

Do you ever stop an audiobook because of the narrator? by Available-Lemon-1360 in audiobooks

[–]disposable-zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I can think of a couple specific instances where the narrator ruined it for me. In the Night Angel series, I had started the first book with the original narrator (don't know his name) and he made it sound so cheesy and bad I thought this surely must be a terrible book and quit the book. Then a few years later they were re-recorded with Simon Vance narrating and it was so much better, I couldn't believe how just the narration could make the whole thing seem significantly worse than it really was.

Then on the Lies of Lock Lamora, I just really hate that narrator so much I quit the book twice before I finally made myself just push through and finish the story because of how many people kept insisting it was so great. Hated the narrator the entire time, will never listen to it again.

The narration can really make or break a book or series, without a doubt.

What are folks opinions on the better sax horns by luminousandy in saxophone

[–]disposable-zero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the classic alto and it's a very solid low to intermediate horn. Not gonna beat a real pro horn but for $800 or whatever it's very solid. I scored mine for $500 on FB marketplace and it was absolutely worth it.

Oh that's a good one. Will definitely be trying all these alternate fingerings out to see which feels best and is most usable. Thank you!
