I was a classical saxophonist for three years. I HATE the instrument with a passion. I feel vehemently that it does not belong in anything in marching bands and NOTHING absolutely NOTHING can replace the sound of an english horn except the english horn.
godspeed matey.

Oh, I agree that nothing can replace the sound of an English Horn. I fully disagree, however, that the saxophone should be relegated to the marching band. Three years is not sufficient time to develop the technique, sound, or concept of an instrument.

We'll have to disagree.

I'm hoping I will for bassoon. Sax is an instrument that makes me want to kill myself no matter how good the player is. I really can't stand it.
On a side note, how's your problem going sir who started the thread?
