this thread is a trip. so much anger. i felt it needed a lighter note. take it easy ya'll, take it easy.
BTW tonyC, just for ******s and giggles.... buy some vandoren 3 1/2's for your son. he'll want to use those when his chops improve the softer 3 1/2's allows for more dynamic control and expression. im sure he would use those for his soprano or alto anyway. better to keep it the same.
happy day,
