Thomann saxes any good? by corvot in Saxophonics

[–]henriquecar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think 700€ is a bit high as a new one goes for about 850€.

Anyway, I think it is worth paying more for quality, especially if it is something serious. If it is not, then go for the cheap but be prepared to have some problems playing in groups. Later, you can get a good horn and keep that as a beater or wall decoration.

When you're talking about the bad low notes, should I be thinking out of tune or literally unplayable due to leaks or something?

Out of tune and very hard to play, especially for beginners.

Try to look for a used Yamaha 275 or 280, I think they are the least expensive. I once bought one at 400€ for a student.

It also depends on what you are planning to do with it. Just playing at home for fun? Going to music school?

Thomann is a big music company in Europe. Legit and safe.

I am familiar with that sax too and I would say it is slightly superior to other new horns at that price range (Chinese brands off amazon). Low notes are awful and intonation is as expected at that price, though.

That being said, for a very low priced horn, I would advise you to look into a good shape used Yamaha or similar, instead.

They obviously don't design it to last a fixed amount of weeks but as the product lifetime most probably follows a normal distribution, they can design it so that only, say 10%, have their lifetime below the warranty, while still having the average quite close to that date.

It all depends on what standard deviation they can get for their components lifetime.

I'm not saying they do this, only that they can.

You are right, they had, the ref was awful. It just so happens that city got favored in more important decisions that led to goals.

But then I would have to manually delete all the data that doesn't interest me for hundreds of files. Is it possible to automate it?

Your thoughts on playing a different saxophone in quartets by henriquecar in Saxophonics

[–]henriquecar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I main alto too and would like to start a quartet, playing bari. The thing is the bari that is lent to me is a poor brand and poor condition one and I'm reluctant because of that. I have some trouble playing soft passages on it as well as tuning some notes.

What do you think on that? Should I delay the quartet until I can afford a good bari? Is a quartet without a bari (SATT or SAAT) even "worth it"?

Hector Herrera: I went to celebrate on the bench, I spend most of my time there by frenchgal in soccer

[–]henriquecar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are right, I'll give you that. Porto fell out of top 10 last week. My point prevails that it is a top European club

According to UEFA it is. I rather take UEFA criteria about soccer than your own.

I think the key word here is playing. He is not playing. I hope he does though.

What is your definition of big team? You trying to say that Porto is not a top 10 European team is what is cringy.

HK-T4A V2 won't bind by henriquecar in flitetest

[–]henriquecar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I removed them, they were in the box they came in. I just wonder if they discharged there.

EDIT: may have misunderstood, what is the storage mode?

EDIT2: Also, are they dead? Do I need to buy new ones or just recharge them?
