can anyone tell me....ive been playing the sax for ages now....(6 yrs) and i wanna take up a brass instrument ( prob trumpet) will this destroy my embouchure??
how many play a brass AND woodwind??

 

[timyates_87]

how about you throw away your sax and play only trumpet

sorry im not much help, i only play trumpet...

 

[saxyT]

oh you mean my $9500 sax??? yeah sure!!! NOT....


anyway out there wit a real answer!!! hehe

 

[Jazz Man Tim]

$9500 and you play Alto! wtf brand of sax are you using!!

 

[demosthenes]

yeh man, even selmers from the 1940s are less than that!!! WHOA! it must be like a vintage conn or something....
In response to your question, if you are serious in any way about pursuing a career in woodwind, dont even consider it. Screws around with your chops too much. If you are in music for a hobby/enjoyment, you may as well, but be advised that it will involve copious amounts of blistex and sore lips
(why anyone would want to play a brass instrument is beyond me....JOKES TIM YATES LOL)

vintage conn either way, for only 6 years of playing, still being in highschool and thinking about picking up a brass instrument, $9500 on a saxophone is WAY too much... unless your SUPER rich and if you are.. i don't wanna hear about it lol

back on topic. i agree with Rob... totally different way of playing, it would mess you up too much... and hurt

 

[saxyT]

hehe

okay okay...i bought gig bags, mouthpieces, a couple of diff ligatures and heaps of reeds at the same time!!!!

Kielwerth SX90R black nickel ( this is the limited 75 series) when spending big, u might as well get everything u need!!!!

anyway nuf bout that.....its no biggy....
I have a vintage conn.....but anyone have one wit a lady on the bell???
