I think plastic saxophones are cool! But I wouldn't want a red one, I'd prefer a dark green, or brown, with big orange dots. I've heard they sound good too!
You know, when Charlie Parker played in Washington DC, I heard he played a plastic sax. Apparently he'd hocked his good one for heroin!
I think this is all very fascinating. I think what my friend was saying was that saxes were MADE differently in the old days with lots of hands on working of the horn. So each horn could have a character of its own based on the individual building it which made for inconsistent instruments with some being amazing and some being... arf!
So far it's a good new year and I got a wicked new axe for Christmas - a Husqvarna 365 chain saw with a 24" bar. How is this relevant to looping? Well... it IS a LOOP! And it's LOUD! 50+ trees down in my woods from the wind.
I'M STILL ON TOPIC... wood... winds... two stroke looper.
And, Per, it's from Sweden!!!
