Hi! I'm Ben - Currently 22. I've earned my Bmus from the enslaving of the conservatorium of music here in brisbane - but now I am free. I play music. More specifically Saxophone - but I'd still like to pretend that I can play other instruments from time to time.
For those who care I play a Selmer Serii3 Alto with a Selmer Short Shank Soloist D(opened to an 8* equivalent), Refaced by Gabe Vatavu, a FL Brass lig with 3.5 Javas
I also play a Super Action 80 (series 1) Tenor and I play an Otto Link Early Babbit Tone Edge 6* (opened to a 9*) refaced By Gabriel with a FL Brass lig.
Recently I bought a Whitehall yannagisawa Stencil Soprano sax with a vintage hard rubber mouthpiece refaced by Gabriel as well.
What else? not much - I'm simple - I like the company of people but I prefer to be away from crowds- I like beer - but I'm allergic to XXXX - I like sleeping - but I sleep less than I should - I'm a nice guy - well I hope so :)
