Benedikt sends me regular updates about the sax and the custom work. This is the latest picture of the bell which is at least ten inches longer to accommodate the extra pad and key works and length required to create a low A. The engraving turned out rather nice and is of Venus. I have a friend, Vanessa, coming to audition for the Inspektor Gadget quartet. I’ve never heard her play before so Suzy and I will run her through some charts. Since her horn is a Mills Music in Redmond being tweaked by my favorite tech, Steve Nelson, Vanessa will have to borrow one of our saxes.
