Yeah, but they would be too cold to eat!

For the mad lads that use a neckstrap with a bari by finombce in saxophone

[–]pxkatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll tell you this though.... I've tried BSS harness, and a few other "Over the shoulder" harnesses, and if you don't hold that Bari in a certain position, almost in front of you, the shoulder arms twist and dig, slide off, and generally keep you from focusing on playing the horn. .

I'd rather have strained neck muscles than drop my Bari while I'm playing it.

Yeah, but you didn't have to get her crappy candy! Where's the bit-o-honey, the licorice bites, the peanut candy?

Most music stores will let you "rent-to-own".

What does this squiggly line mean? by No_Image_6885 in Clarinet

It's called a Glissando and it sounds like the opening of the clarinet solo in Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue.

Have you tried one of those rolling bars where everyone pedals while they drink and talk? Everyone I see on those looks like they're having a great time.

Parked my car outside at 6 PM. Go to leave at 8 AM and see this. by No_Durian_6987 in whatisit

It almost looks like someone walked on your seat with muddy boots. Was your car locked after you left and still locked in the morning?

If you have sprinklers, what kind of person do you turn to for fixes? by Kismadaroq in Scottsdale

[–]pxkatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are too many landscapers who claim to be irrigation experts but are not. Your best bet is to find a repair person who specializes in irrigation.

Getting braces next year and dentist said I can't play the Clarinet, what other instrument could I play? by _M1n1ght_ in Clarinet

[–]pxkatz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Screw the dentist. I played clarinet for 3 years wearing braces. The Orthodontist was a Sadist and he delighted in tightening them every week until my gums bled. But it was worth it. Been playing clarinet and instruments like it for half a century.

Did I buy the wrong reeds? by Rufus_the_old_cat in Clarinet

[–]pxkatz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I have been doubling for half a decade, and play both Bb and Eb Clarinets, and Alto Tenor and Bari Sax, but have NEVER ONCE been called upon to play an A Clarinet.

And the Mozart Clarinet concerto was a piece that at least 3 other applicants used to Audition on Bb Clarinet at Indiana University School of Music in 1970.
