TWO NEW SAXOPHONES
I am the proud owner of a new Tenor and Baritone saxophone and we are all getting on very well.
A special thanks must go to Ian Brown at Secondwind for the time and effort he put into sorting everything out!  And Matthew Morris for his continued care of my Baritone in particular.
