Care For Some Sax?
Jul. 18th, 2005 12:09 pmThey got it right! they finally got it right!!! It's beautiful.
I went to a couple music stores and talked to some people over the last couple weeks, getting books and cork grease, etc. They all had me fucking nervous! Talked about how most people need a teacher just to learn how to put it together and play... that's why new people usually make the instruments squeal. One guy was saying how hard it is to get the mouth into the right position just to get a sound.
Well, I still felt somewhat confident because, since I wanted to play sax, I used to pay attention to what the teacher said in band practice. I pulled it out, put it together, and played!! Not a tune, but a few notes. Figured out a couple that sounded good together. After about fifteen minutes, my lips were sore, but at least I only made it squeak once. I had a flashback to starting the trombone and always having chapped lips. he he Oh well. I promised Mom I'd learn a Christmas song in time for the holidays. whee...
Very very excited now. It's so pretty!
Of course, they sent a piece of paper this time that said they would leave the same feedback for me that I leave for them. That's extortion, isn't it? because they shipped the wrong instrument 3 times! I paid right away! I did nothing wrong, but they don't deserve a positive! That sucks. I'm going to leave not so positive fb and then see what happens.
