Ever since I started working a couple of days a week last month for my tech during rental season, I have been wanting to play test a particular saxophone that we have  in our rental stock.<\/p>\n

When David ordered a few Gemeinhardt saxophones for rental a few years ago, he ordered four of each model. He was surprised when four of the altos appeared to be a throwback to the Academy horns from Buescher<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Since I am always keen to try new\/new-to-me gear, I thought it would be interesting to give this horn a go. I had been intrigued by the Gemeinhardt Alpha Series ever since I first heard about them 10 years ago. I had even written an article<\/a> back in 2009.<\/p>\n
