Well it has been a minute, but both the Bassic Sax website & Bassic Sax Blog are finally back. I could not have done it without the help of my good friend, and fellow saxophone historian, Pete Hales. Pete did what a number of website developers couldn’t do, and what the hosting company made worse. Thank you Pete!
Truth be told, I had in fact given up, and was in the process of rebuilding the sites under a new domain. However, after Pete’s ingenuity—and an upgrade to the server package—things seem to be running well now.
Now I can finally do what I had been working on off and on, both before and during the great Bassic crash of 2025.
I have already researched and updated the Hohner President pages, and was in the process of working on completely redoing the Hammerschmidt page with updated research. That will likely be the next one I get done. I do still have some research to get finished on it though. My Excel charts will need to be completely reworked.
While compiling research on Hammerschmidt, I am still collecting data on B&S blue label, and of course H. Couf horns—as well as getting the bass sax section completed.
I have been busy making some changes to make the site more mobile-friendly, and will continue to see what else I can do make it even more so in the coming months. Additionally, there will be some cosmetic changes coming as well as I do some spring cleaning in 2025.
Just as an aside: Bassic Sax is 2025 years old this year. Glad it made it to this milestone. Quite frankly, for Internet land, it would make this site a, well, you know. 😉
Great news, good news, thanks to everyone who got this done.
