Thanks, David
If you can play from low f sharp to an f above high c you can cover the notes on most Broadway shows.
There are many things a pro MUST have. A beautiful sound is most important. Flexibility of style. Consistancy is a must. The ability to work in tight surroundings. A sense of humor also helps
Today's professional players have many more demands placed upon them than the players from the past.
