and also check out a  new 'backing tracks page'  - started July 2008 )

Hello - this started off as a very basic attempt to share the sounds of some of the C-Melody saxophones and other instruments that I have.  I'm sure the recording quality will get better over time, whilst still keeping the files to well under 1 MB  for ease of access with slower dial-up lines.  Hopefully this may also go some way to dispel the myths that the C-Melody ( C Tenor ) saxophone is a sad old stuffy out-of-tune horn - which it isn't  !  I've put a couple of alto sax samples at the start, just for comparison...

So, these are a selection of sounds from me, on the various instruments that I play reasonably well - although opinions do vary on that last statement......  Far from complete, and just recorded into a microphone connected to the PC, so really just "tasters" - hopefully over time I'll replace some of them with slightly more professional offerings ?  But just as an indication of how various (mostly tenor sax) mouthpieces sound, it's useful.

Where the link is followed by a small speaker icon like this -  Sad Samba      - you can either click on the actual link to hear the sound in (e.g.) Media player, or you can click on the  small speaker  to use the websites built in  '1Bit' streaming Flash player.  Click again to stop. 

- and of course there are even more sound samples on the C-Melody Sax Players page....
