But Lewis, it's really scary, I may just have to change the rules - to have new user registrations 'vetted' by admin (me) before anyone can comment/post. If (e.g.) you click on anyones name, to see their profile, you also have a chance to then list all the 'Registered users' - the first page is sen...

Apologies for the odd spam topic that appears every so often - just like Wade's old forum at times ! I've introduced a new registration check that will hopefully confuse most of the spam-bot's, and, along with entering the character string, that should deter most of it. I say 'deter' because witho...

It's possible that, by 'modifying' a tenor mouthpiece so that it easily comes into tune on a microtuner, you might help tone production - not having to concentrate on staying sharp enough can let you loosen up the embouchure, and that's when a lot of tonal colour floods in. I've found that mouth...

Lewis - welcome to the Lawton Users Club - and really glad that you have found the good side of the mouthpiece. Currently I'm having a purge on my mouthpieces, there'll be a load on ebay soon, but I'm glad to say that the Lawtons are staying - although a big consideration is that (once sold) I'd ...

Probably useful for the more adventurous amongst us - notice the "youtube" button above this box. Just click on that and put the unique YouTube 'character string' ( like o6pjgE_BJBw ) in between the blocks - for more info see below... For obvious reasons I can't type it exactly as it w...

Funnily enough, I've just posted a Youtube video to the blog - Joe Albano playing a Conn C-Mel with an Auqilasax Metalpro... I'll be a bit flash (pun intended... ;) ) and post the video here as well ! Don't read the video title on YouTube - shows at the end of the video - if you're easily...

And a Happy New Year to you, click.

I just love the happy ending...

I'm surprised I haven't come across a genuine 20's knuckleduster in some of the old cases...

In case anyone ever needs a cheap alternative lig for the Lawton, a Rovner L13 fits tenor Lawton nicely, and also just screws up tight enough for my alto one as well. And I found an ebay seller in the US who sold me a new one for under $10 with only $2 shipping. Posted in the US on the 27th, arriv...

Jon - sitting here thinking laterally - as one tends to do on a frost-bitten New Year's Eve ;) - why not invest in one of these knuckledusters. Trim off the surplus, and bolt it thro the existing strap-ring. Of course, use a wing-nut, just in case the gig turns nasty and you have to use it for it...
