Re: Innovations

Hi! I also play the saxophone and was always a bit annoyed about the struggle to play in other keys with more sharps and flats.

Re: Abel Siccama - Very Interesting Tone

Hi! Siccama No 205 is my workhorse since some years - it took some time to master the beast, but now i'm very happy! I had to bring down A,G+E with some epoxy, now tuning is very good.
