I started playing the
Tenor Saxophone the summer before my 9th grade year. The Stage Band was in need of
some Sax players, so I volunteered to play on a school instrument to help
them out. Besides, Clarinet players weren't allowed in the higher level Stage Band
anyway, and I've been hooked on playing the Sax ever since. In 1996 I went out and
bought my very own Tenor Sax (I was very tired of using the poor quality school
instruments). I bought the very first Canon Ball Tenor Sax that came into
Summerhays Music.
(This brand has become very popular, and a lot of musicians now own one.) They
showed it to me, telling me that it was from a new company, and I've loved it
ever since. It's a black laquer Sax with silver keys. It matches my Clarinet and
Oboe very well, as you can tell from the picture!
