For anyone who hasn't been past their local newstand lately, the
current (Sept/Oct 04) Saxophone Journal features two articles by Jay Easton: a great
article on playing the bari (how about a follow-up article on reaching
altissimo on the bari?), and an interview with Rob Verdi. I wasn't
familiar with Rob before, but he's pictured with a collection ranging
from curved Eb sopranino down to Eb contrabass sax (also including
contrabass sarrusophone, Conn-O-Sax, padless altos, etc.).
Worth the magazine just for Jay's articles.
Enjoy!
Grant

We knew that Blaise owned an Eb tubax. Does he also have an Eb
contrabass sax?
