    Hi there Leo,

    How about a buzz solo at your next Mandinko gig?
    I like your TV concept! Maybe something on the mdiart website would make the grade? The kids music programs maybe the quirkiest!

    Thanks for filling in when I can’t do ‘tha Mandinko thing’.

    Cheers

    Paul

    Your range on the mouthpiece is really impressive, Leo.

    I remember trying that years ago (when I used to practise ;-)
    I think it was a suggested warm-up in David Liebman’s book “Developing a Personal Sax Sound”,
    but I could never achieve a range anything like that, albeit on a tenor mouthpiece.

    You’ve inspired me to try it again, though.

    Cheers!

    You Loony! :-)

    - V. Impressive & obviously difficult!

    - I’m gonna give it a go later on & I’m sure that I’m gonna struggle!!
    But I can see the advantages – especially with pitching for harmonics/altissimo (which is what I’m working on right now).

    Thanks Leo for sharing that & to Digital Pill for your site ( & your other contributers).

    I’ll definitely be back!

    Hi Leo,
    I enjoyed the video and I’m going start buzzing on the mouthpiece
    tomorrow morning. It looks like a real challenge but with a lot of
    practice I hope to get it down.

    Keep up the great work!
