The SAX EQUIPMENT LIST
izz...@melbpc.org.au
The recent "What does everbody play?" thread has inspired me to copy the
replies into a list, all I can say is that a couple of beginners should
probably add their setups as well. If I missed your reply or you
haven't made one yet, e-mail me at izz...@melbpc.org.au and I will add
it.
You pros have been complaining and saying someone should compile the
replies into a list. Here it is and compiled by a mere student. In
Australia!!

Depends on the gig, I guess. If outside, bring clothespins to keep the
music on the stand.
