For the past year or two I've been using Spectra fishing line to string all
rotors. It's available by the yard at any fishing tackle store for about a
dime a yard. It has no stretch and is so strong that 45-50 pound test is about
the size of heavy sewing thread. At first I had trouble making

The Giardinelli mouthpieces are inexpensive and, at least for me, they were
worth the effort to try - I sounded more or less the same on all the
standard mouthpieces _except_ the Giardinelli C series, and I sounded (and
still sound) noticeably better on the Giardinelli. You can get them

Heather,
The Holton MDC is a very decent all-around mouthpiece, and I'd guess that
some players consider it their "magic-mpc" after trying many others.
If you are intent on trying other mpc, I suggest starting with what your
local dealers have in stock - Holton MC & DC, Schilke, Yamaha.

I think everyone goes through this, probably over and over. From your post, my
experience, first hand I might add, is that you are asking the wrong questions
of the wrong crowd. For instance, why do you need a deeper mouthpiece? I

Howdy Ed,
I believe that recording was indeed on the Raoux, but I think it was crooked

I used to have the same problem with my pinky finger hurting. I found
that putting those little pencil grippers on the pinky hook helped a

dent if you look at it. No gig (dent) bag for it! I dare say the same would be
true of a Schmid.

It is true that many "professionals" do look down on us mere amateurs. However,
the deeper answer is that going through the course changes one's outlook on
making music, and one tends to associate oneself with those who have the same
outlook. It's a club.
Interestingly enough, I did not find much
