"My current Instruments of choice are Silver-Plated Yamaha
Custom Pro models. My Yamaha Tenor is a YTS-875S, and my Yamaha Alto is
an YAS-82ZS."
"Silver plated horns are, in my opinion, by far the most versatile in tonal variance. In the hands of a capable player, they are veritable chameleons able to produce many different tones and styles. Unlike lacquered instruments, plated horns are capable of capturing many different tonal subtleties, due to the qualities of the metal used in the plating process." "In the past, have had vintage and late model Selmers, Keilwerths, Kings, and Bueschers, but by far the most responsive, comfortable, playable, and reliable instruments I have played are the Yamaha pro model saxes." |

"My mouthpiece setups are as follows: For Tenor, I use an Otto Link New York #7 metal with Rico Select Jazz #3S file cut reeds." "For Alto, I use a Van Doren Jumbo Java mouthpiece, (tip opening unmarked), with Rico Select Jazz #2H file cut reeds." "I'm planning on getting a Baritone sax sometime soon, which I am finding more and more need for. My dream Baritone? A Yamaha Custom, Silver Plated Pro model, of course!" "In case you are wondering, no, I don't play the Soprano sax. I have at times in the past; but I don't get much call for it anymore, and truthfully, I really don't have much affection for the sound that even the greatest players can coax out of one." |
