If you use three question marks, do they cancel each other out?  ;o)

So Matt let me try a Buescher TT bass sax to low G. You heard me, low G. The instrument has a nickel finish and is a player and plays very nicely in all ranges. The lowest notes can be hard to get to speak. But given time and practice I think it could be manageable.

The bell goes above the tubing to get the extra A, G#, and G notes on the low end of the range. Here you can see Suzy sitting next to the instrument and it is about the right height for her with just the peg.

The extra key work is located in the right thumb area for the low G and the left thumb area for the A and G#. Note the thumb hook has been moved where it is no longer useable except to lift the horn.

The peg screws into the bass of the horn and would need a bigger rubber foot if I were to keep the instrument. The screw mechanisms would need some reworking to. But otherwise the horn is beautiful. Suzy thinks the purchase is not a necessary one and I guess I concur. I was considering trading in my current TT and some cash, but it really doesn’t make sense for us to do this right now.

Okay, that’s my obligatory blog post for the weekend as I’m visiting my son’s family and playing with my new granddaughter Addie!
