How ya doing Alberto.  I am also a low sax player, but that's about it.  I
don't really play flute or clarinet, but I'm kind of interested.  I actually
have a bass sax, but I didn't buy.  About three years ago (I was a junior in
High School) before school one day I went to the music wing to drop off my
bari sax and I saw my band director.  He said, "you're not supposed to be
here this early" and next to him was a pretty large case.  I said, "Is that
a bass sax?" and he said that it was.  He had gone to the school where he
used to work over the weekend and they had a bass sax that hadn't been
played for about two years.  He brought it home.  When I graduated high
school i got to keep it because he really got it for me.  It doesn't look
like a regular bass sax though.  It's from Vito and it's shorter.

I just thought that that was a pretty good story.
