"Saxophone appreciation post! I’ve been playing saxophones made by @daveallbrass1 / @oldroydwalkerlineage for the past 3 years and it has been an absolute joy. Until I was introduced to his horns I swore by older models, playing first a conn 10m then Selmer cigar cutter and finally a selmer super balanced action. this last model I used before meeting Dave was so great I didn’t think I’d ever find a modern sax that could match its weight of sound, consistency throughout registers and ergonomics. Because of my hectic touring I wanted a modern sax since maintaining an older horn on the road was getting boring despite its greatness. I tried more or less all the modern brands on the market and nothing did it for me. Then @warehampete introduced me to Dave who was making a modern sax that he said was going to be the best. It is. He gave me a prototype model based on a conn bore and mark V1 key work and we’ve been having a conversation for the past 3 years where he takes feedback from my escapades on the road which has helped contribute to it now being the ultimate sax machine. Jerry Bergonzi also plays it!!! The picture is of the first sax I got from him (which @nubya_garcia now plays). Thanks Dave. And while we’re on the subject....WHATS GOING ON IN LEEDS????? Morgan Fry is out there alongside Dave straight up making the best mouthpieces in the game! (But it’ll take a whole other long post for me to comment on his brilliance)"

Shabaka Hutchings mentioned using the Boss ME-50B Bass Multiple Effects pedal in a tweet, stating, "The toys are coming out for hello skinny tonight...."
