Nappy Nicholai Maxwell HEY! I TAKE THAT OFFENSIVELY!! ONLY BAD OBOISTS SOUND LIKE DUCKS!! *laughs* My second chair, (and only other oboist) sounds like one, so I got first after my first year of playing oboe. I had only taken lessons, and not played in actual band. But, anyway, if you are a good oboist with a "dark" sound, you never have to worry about being a duck. I sound more like a snake charmer. *laughs* Our only oboe player does kind of suck. That explains it. Maybe I should take it up when she graduates...ah, no, I'll be section leader next year so I guess I'm stuck with my alto. heart I've always loved the double reeds though, they just sound so much sweeter than everything else. Double reeds are the best ever, except for the fact that so few people play them really well, as compared to other "mainstream" instruments. Bassoons are awesome, but oboes win out because they are so diverse when it comes to sound quality. You can sound like a duck, or a really high playing bass clarinet if you are good. So, they win out.

I really liked that short and long/makes no diffence banner...the only phones i haven't played in that pic is the bass...and if it is seven feet...then no wonder its an auxilary orchestra instrument...infact. its the only sax ever used in orchestra...even then its mostly just a backup to the tuba...probably sounds like one too...but that would sure be fun to play...*contemplates where to get one...*

syrup1128 i play tenor sax and flute mrgreen So do I! It's an awesome combo. 3nodding Tenor's a bit difficult for me to play though - I have really small hands and can't reach the low Bb key with my pinky very well. xd So I usually have to play anything lower than a low C an octave up.

But the bigtest one is actually a contrabass. It goes: Sopranino-Soprano-Alto-Tenor-Bariton-Bass-Contrabass. God, what I would give to play a sopranino domokun
Miangel and Ace: Dirty jokes are definetly what band is all about. Like clarinets sucking on long, hard, black tubes...

I'm barely 5' feet Really. (I won't grow anymore either being 17 years old) but maybe one of us should make that little banner into a Guild Banner and Submit it to Masq.
By the Way I'm Bridget, I Play Alto Saxophone, if I knew there was a Smaller sax when I was in 6th Grade I would have choosen it, and This is my 7th Year of Playing Sax.
