A Conn Selmer, purchased circa 2010 and a 1934 Adolphe Sax Parisienne, purchased a year ago. I use Vandoren green two and a half reeds and a Selmer*C mouthpiece on both saxes. I have found that the Adolphe Sax horn gives me far more latitude, regardless of what I’m playing, predominantly jazz pieces, than the ‘modern’ Conn Selmer. If anyone has any insight into why this might be I’d be thrilled to hear any comments/ perspectives of vintage horns v contemporary horns. Thanks.🎢🎡🎢🎡🎷

I’m not a woodwind player, but my younger brother started with tenor, followed by stunningly beautiful alto tone, clarinet, flute, and got a full scholarship for his bassoon virtuosity. thanks for helping keep the jazz heart pumping through your love of it and your ability to educate your readers!
