I've been using a Saxscape BG prototype as my main piece, so it will be interesting to see what I think of the J7. I also picked up a Drake Custom Ceramic for my alto, I like it so much I'm going to try one on tenor. I found your mpc demos very helpful, thanks again Steve. ~Bruce <div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful' id='myrp_4385_helpful'>Did you find this review helpful? <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(4385, true);'>Yes</a>   <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(4385, false);'>No</a></div> <br /><div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful_outcome' id='myrp_4385_helpful_outcome'></div> I actually found someone on SOTW with a J7 willing to sell, I should receive it in a few days.

Just to let you know......the J7 worked but I was really really pushin it. I found that a more focused piece cuts better in those loud R&B gigs although my favorite gigs were playing a 1 hour jazz cocktail hour with my J7 and then playing 4 hours of dance music with the same J7. They aren't easy to come by so be forewarned. <div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful' id='myrp_4374_helpful'>Did you find this review helpful? <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(4374, true);'>Yes</a>   <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(4374, false);'>No</a></div> <br /><div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful_outcome' id='myrp_4374_helpful_outcome'></div> Thanks Bruce.

I like your solo. I am wondering what is going on around 0:03-0:06 in this solo. It sounds like you are playing the altissimo with vibrato. So how do you play it? Are you playing vibrato? Thanks. <div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful' id='myrp_3941_helpful'>Did you find this review helpful? <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(3941, true);'>Yes</a>   <a href='javascript:myrp_cast_helpful(3941, false);'>No</a></div> <br /><div class='myrp_boxes myrp_comment_helpful_outcome' id='myrp_3941_helpful_outcome'></div> Hi, steve.
