Conn 14M Bass Sax Video"},"content":{"rendered":"

While looking through a couple of the videos that saxophone player Bert Brandsma, from the Netherlands posted on YouTube, I came across this really informative one on bass saxophones<\/a>.\u00a0He compares a 1921 Martin (Conn stencil) to a 1940 Conn 14M.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

I learned a lot from these 8 minutes. As always, his playing is\u00a0a source of inspiration to bass saxophone players everywhere.<\/p>\n

Bert is very nice guy. I’m pleased that I have the pleasure to be able to correspond with him regularly through the Bass Sax Co-operative<\/a>. Anytime Co-op members have had questions, he’s jumped in with informative answers. There seems to be no end to his knowledge of bass saxophones.<\/p>\n

Just an interesting aside, he is perhaps the busiest bass player on the planet, with over 130 bass saxophone gigs per year for the last 3 years. No word on if that contract was renewed. I hope so. That is one hell of a record!\u00a0I think he would be in the running with, if not surpassing, the amount of bass sax work done by Adrian Rollini.<\/p>\n
