[edit] redirected from Neck Strap - why?
The article Saxophone is redirected from "Neck Strap", but there's no mention of "Neck Strap" within the article itself - indeed nothing to explain why/whether a Saxophone is also known as a "Neck Strap". 81.154.178.151 (talk) 10:54, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
[edit] range in box on the right
The "playing range" of the saxophone is illustrated with musical notation, but this is wrong. In concert pitch the combined range of the different types of saxophones is much greater. Whilst the usual playing range of each individual saxophone in transposition is as per the illustration, this is not useful information, and certainly not as interesting as having the range of various saxophones shown in concert pitch. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.166.166 (talk) 11:45, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
[edit] The Composite Reeds Alternative
I noticed this today: "17:15, 2 December 2010 Gyrofrog (talk | contribs) (40,120 bytes) (Revert ; synthetic reed info needs sourcing in any case: see WP:SELFCITING. One might just as easily claim that they sound fine, but response is an issue.)" I reverted that. The entirety of composite reeds content was deleted rather than only the material that was objected to. Additionally, deletion wasn't called for. Please see WP:PRESERVE. If you complain that the article contains a subjective evaluation, then state that here, and let's fix it. Most of this article is not cited, so I find it strange that your other complaint was that it wasn't cited. If you want citations, please place the citation needed tags, but don't just delete a bunch of good material. Thanks!AustinBrister (talk) 06:37, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
- The statement "...but generally produce a brighter tone with a timbre that is noticeably different from reeds made from cane, and are, therefore, generally considered to produce tone that is less desirable than the tone produced from a cane reed" is an opinion. It might be a notable opinion, but if so, it needs a citation. Also, the sentence "According to Larry Teal, the mouthpiece material has little, if any, effect on the sound, and the physical dimensions give a mouthpiece its tone colour," is partially cited, but the remaining fragment – "however this view is controversial" – lacks citation. (The entire point of the Teal reference, which I added 4 or 5 years ago, was replace unreferenced opinions such as "metal mouthpieces are better for rock" or "plastic mouthpieces are inferior" etc.) Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:17, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Merge Reed Sections?
Reed_(music)#Materials and Clarinet#Reed also discuss reeds, and even (slightly) get into synthetic/composite materials. These should merge, or link, or a new page should be created for them. There is a lot of repeated information. Also, information from one, may be useful in the other, and vice versa, but they are not currently linked. Personally, I would prefer an article that focuses solely on reed material. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AustinBrister (talk • contribs) 07:10, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Conn-O-Sax
Why isn't there anything mentioned about the Conn-O-Sax ? Snowconeboy789 07:06, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Paraschos Wooden Saxophone Neck
I just recently stumbled across an article about wooden saxophone necks created by Paraschos. It would be interesting to incorporate this into the article.
