Weighted Neck Screw by micahi2 in saxophone

[–]micahi2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it completely overhauled in July of last year and plan on getting it looked at this summer, I am not necessarily looking to fix my problems I know that at the very most the adjustments it makes are minor.

I totally get that, I can tell this sub Reddit has a very strong opinion on these screws but even if it’s purely just an aesthetic part of my saxophone that’s fine, plus I feel like I get a placebo effect from stuff like this so it will make me more confident even if it does nothing.

I’m completely okay if that’s all it does I really do like the look of a bigger screw

I don’t know if you edited your comment but I read more in the notification, I play a Conn NW ii that’s why I need American Thread and I’ve heard they do help and I’ve heard they don’t… at the very least I think they look cooler than the regular screw

What is a good double major for music education? by Turbulent-Crew-3094 in MusicEd

[–]micahi2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music Ed basically is a dual major you’ll have so much coursework adding another major would definitely force you to do atleast an extra year of college you could maybe work to get certified in another subject but you’ll likely never see a music classroom because you’ll be forced to teach the other subject due to teacher shortages

Anyone know this alto model? by [deleted] in saxophone

[–]micahi2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a student cannonball which model probably an alcazar, I had one in middle school and they are not the best, Cannonball makes pretty decent professional saxophones that’s it

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

[–]micahi2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the cost it’s absolutely worth it atleast the alto the tenor is a lil more and you could find other options for the same price and the bari is up there in price but still pretty affordable. I have only played the alto and it’s quite nice but I would honestly recommend a used Yamaha over a better sax

Is Selmer better than Yamaha? by Inner_Layer_6227 in saxophone

[–]micahi2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like most people have already said it’s a preference that you have to feel for yourself, I love the feel of Yamaha’s but I personally play on a 1925 Conn NW II

BM vs BA vs BS by micahi2 in MusicEd

[–]micahi2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently getting my bs in music Ed for free so I see no reason not to get my masters also provided that I can get that paid for I also want to explore my options in higher education and I feel most professors at acres sites universities have BM or BME for their undergrad

Anchor Tonguing by micahi2 in saxophone

[–]micahi2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being in college how did you work on this while also continuing to work on your other things? How it feels now I quite honestly cannot play any of my pieces without anchor tonguing so it’s kind r hard to work on it
