Hot Sax

that's luscious looking! does she sound as good as she looks here?

She is an absolute beaut, and plays reasonably well. The G# is sticky and the high D# sometimes opens of its own accord. It needs to be completely re-padded and could use a mild acid bath to clean some crud off the brass surface. One of my former students is an instrument repair tech and is going to give her a look this summer. The problem is, one of her classmates is a professional sax player and wants to steal it.

Now this is nice. Well done man!

Can't believe someone chucked a Conn alto out! Nice shot, especially like the tone of the print - is that the Caffenol-C?

Thanks Dave and A.J. I'm actually a trumpet player, so my sax sound is probably a little unconventional. My apologies, I auto-completed the fields when I uploaded this scan and accidentally entered it as a Caffenol print. Roughly half of my prints are Caffenol, so I would have had a 50/50 chance of being right, but this is in standard Ilford chemistry. I have edited the description to show this. The tone you see is from a bath 1:12 of KRST, and the paper itself, which is Central Camera's house-brand.
