Subject: Jim Brock Sax? From: murray@mpca.mq.edu.au Date: 13 Dec 99 - 06:48 AM I just got an unasked for catalog from a woodwind mail-order place. It has an intriguing item called a "Jim Brock Sax". It consists of a saxaphone mouthpiece and a bamboo body with some holes in it. They claim you finger it like a bamboo flute but it has a "deep dark sax sound". Has anyone had experience with one of these? I would be interested in comments and details such as what is the fingering for a bamboo flute compared, say, to a recorder or pennywhistle. Who is Jim Brock, anyway? Murray |

Subject: RE: Jim Brock Sax? From: GUEST,Isis Kopel Date: 31 Mar 13 - 12:26 AM Hi Jim, I had bought a sax from you, a B5, many years ago at a Florida Renaissance Festival and it has been broken for years. It has a large crack next to the mouth piece area and I had lost your contact information. I had tried to email you at this email address many years ago and you never responded. I bought your sax because it was awesome sounding and you gave a lifetime warranty on it. Please let me know how to send this sax to you so that it can be either repaired or replaced. Thank you kindly. |

Subject: RE: Jim Brock Sax? From: GUEST,Guest, Edwina Date: 14 Jun 22 - 08:33 PM Hi! I have one of your saxophones. I bought it several years ago in Memphis, TN at a festival downtown. After raising my children I am getting my chops back and want to include my bamboo sax as well. I have misplaced my fingering chart. Is there anyway I can get one from you? I also had the one with no mouthpiece. I don’t know if you called it a flute or what but it got a crack in it. I really hope you respond because your instruments are amazing. |
