I have a new musical dream......

[MiniMandaRuth]

To play the lowest member of the saxophone family....

the contrabass saxophone...

Over 6 feet tall, it's lowest note is the lowest C# on the piano....

And it's beautiful....

You want a picture?

I look at that picture and my fingers start to itch...

6. I can hold a low C on the bari for twelve counts, and I think thirteen if

I timed right today. That takes a lot out of me. Oh well, it'll be worth it.

:hi: Haven't seen you in a while.

10. Hey, kiddo. I'm cranky tonight, so you might want to come see me

again later.

3. Here. I'll learn how to play this. We'll start a band.

We'll be called the Enormites.

It looks like a contrabassoon or something...

edit: Just read the subtitle.... woah....

4. You gonna have handlers to help you carry that thing?

Yowza, that is one big horn! I've seen you girl -- that sax has to be twice as tall as you are, but hey, you want to do it? Go for it!

:hi:
