Hello, Martin.
Being as you're into saxaphone(s), (aside from the wooden mouthpiece issue) ... do you have any idea how Stan Getz achieved that amazing nasal, "organic" tone on Tenor Sax?
A band-mate (sax-player) has never succeeded, or come close (of course, he's no Stan Getz, either).
I play guitar, also; and I was able to
approximate a decent Charlie Byrd sound/styling for some of those Getz/Byrd collaborations on the Jobim sessions ("Desifinado", "Girl From Ipanema", "One Note Samba", etc.). Too bad we couldn't get some chick to look and sound like Astrud Gilberto.
