saxophone

Have you ever wondered how the sound of a single instrument gets heard the middle of a band full of other instruments? There could be dozens of instruments all playing at the same time in some bands and yet, the sound of a single saxophone can be promoted at the touch of a button from the sound booth. That's all due to one thing - like this exciting saxophone clip on mic at musician's friend. It sits almost unnoticed by the audience on the saxophone and yet allows them to hear every note played by it - at the touch of a button.

Bass tablature

Music is probably in my blood.I've always felt an affinity to music even though I never trained with an instrument or voice. But that might have been different if I'd had the means when I was growing up. As it was, I found enjoyment of music solely in listening to others perform, which is fine.
On the other hand, it would be nice if one of our children did take up either some voice or instrument training. I'd be open to almost any form of music or voice even if that meant having to endure listening to my son jam from a bass tablature in his room. It might be taxing on the nerves and senses, but if my son or daughter really found their passion in an instrument like the bass for example, I'd encourage them to go for it.

Thump, thump, thump

Drums set the beat in almost every song you will ever hear on the radio or you're mp3 player. It's the thump, thump, thump that leads the way for the entire song to unfold. It can be wild like or a rock stadium drum solo, or almost invisible on some tracks. That's a job that most drummers live for and why some of the best drummers buy premier drums & percussion at guitar center. Because they know they can't afford to mess around with the quality of their percussion instrument in the middle of performing for the audience and the other players.

Clarinet

In today's sphere of wall-to-wall sound of synthetic drum machines and other machine generated music, it's nice to hear the genuine sound of a woodwind or brass instrument. If that describes your reference point, you'll appreciate the best clarinet reeds at WWBW. Because sound that's real as this should be uncommon. What's your take in this one? I'm not really into music instruments but I love the sounds when played perfectly.

outdoor speakers

We took a few trips this summer as a family to the most popular theme parks in our area. We hadn’t been to one park in particular for many years, so many of the rides and attractions were unfamiliar. There were the usual rides that have been around since the very beginning. And there was of course the signature attraction of divers diving off the man-made mountain in the center of the park.
This is hard to miss, as the central square literally rumbles with its soundtrack being pumped through probably dozens of outdoor speakers surrounding the whole area. The sound almost made the hair stand on end as the divers did their amazing feats.
