by ThE SaX (8 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? Phhff... I would say you are the junenille one for poking fun at and degrading the good people of this forum, 2Hard2Blow. My parents sort of named my alto for me. They would always ask where's the sax, what's the sax doing sitting there, don't you need to go get the sax? Now it has sort of become a title/name, The Sax. My user name comes from it. I still have yet to officially name it though... My soprano on the other hand, is officially named Emma, just for the the fact I have a certain affection for the name, and my fellow band mates and I always name our sax in the opposite gender from ourselves.

My alto's name is "Bean", congas are "Bill" and "Ted" =) Reply To Post by definition (963 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? Heh; you arent alone; My Super 20 Tewnor is oft called Monica; but my other horns have no names Reply To Post Yahoo! AIM by JimJenkins722 (1 post) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? I've named all my saxes. Here they are: Soprano: Pee Wee Alto: Fred Tenor: George Bari: Bubba Reply To Post by connsaxman_jim (2336 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? Bubba seems like a good name for a Bari! As I said, My tenor is "old Betty", my Chu Berry Alto is named Lois after my grandmother, I have a Fender Strat named Sarah after an old girlfriend, and a Martin acoustic named Maggie. I have a couple other saxophones that need names. any suggestions? Old Betty, my 1948 10M often shares a stand with another naked lady; my 1950 Conn 6M alto.

I own a Cannonball Mad Meg ULL (unlaquered body, laquered keys, laquered inside of bell). My friends tell me that a real Mad Meg is 100% unlaquered, therefore mine is not a real Mad Meg. I don't know if this is accurate or not, but in light of this little theroy, I've jokingly dubbed my horn the "Disgruntled Meg". Right back atcha Mike and Eric!!! Reply To Post Yahoo! by rick214 (3 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? probably not, names for things we like to play with whether they areinstruments, tools, cars or even pool sticks can be named .. my granparents used to name their cars.. my pools stick is called "Pearl" she has won me many tournaments ... I am about to purchase my 1st sax. Reply To Post by connsaxman_jim (2336 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? My grandmother was born in 1926 and passed away in Sept. of 2000. I bought a 1926 Conn New Wonder Series II (Chu Berry) alto, and had it custom engraved with my grandmother's name Lois on the bell with her birth-date and the date of her death. My grandma was a major inspiration in my music. A friend and former band mate nicknamed my 1948 10M "Old Betty". When I asked him "why Betty?", he said he worked in a nursing home for a while and that one of the residents there, who's name was Betty liked to walk up and down the halls of the nursing home naked, and they would have to chase her back to her room and help her get dressed! And for those of you who don't know...the 10M is called the Naked Lady because of the engraving of a topless woman on the bell.

My NY Conn Liberty tenor is named "Bullet-tooth Tony," my Selmer Bundy II is named "Ted Bundy," And my Jupiter Bari is named "Stella!!!" Reply To Post by Saxburg (2 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? that's hilarious, ...ted bundy i'm trying to get the other kids in my band to name the instruments, but they don't seem as attached to their instrument like i am Reply To Post by Daughty (1 post) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? I named my 71XXX series Mark VI Tenor SAXY because that is how she sounds. Reply To Post by Five Iron Frenzy & O.C. Supertones Rock (1 post) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? Thou art not alone! I've got me a title to my alto sax: Paul; after the old alto saxophone player of the O.C. Supertones. Reply To Post by saxophones_rock (13 posts) 19 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? My saxophones name=bubbles Reply To Post by SeaShel (1 post) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? Way back in high school, when it was just me, my old Conn tenor (naked lady) and old Conn soprano, I named them Trinidad and Tobago. But I have never named my bari, which is my "home" sax, nor the old Conn alto I got two years ago. I need to work on that. Reply To Post by sax_maniac (984 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? The only horn that I felt compelled to name was my first bari - a 12M. I called it "Humpty Dumpty" as I refurbished it and had much better luck than "all the king's horses and all the king's men". Reply To Post by tenor562 (297 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? I have one tenor whose name is Yami Blake, and my other tenor is named M2 Nathaniel. I love those horns. Reply To Post by 2hard2blow (1 post) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? Your a loser if you name your sax! Reply To Post by definition (963 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? I would say you are the loser; rudeness is not needed on the site. We are here to talk sax and what-not related. If you dont like the topic, keep your trap shut. Wouldnt you prefer constructive critism to your posts or do you prefer we insult you in each post? Reply To Post Yahoo! AIM by SaxMan88 (318 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? I appropriately named my alto (first horn) "Goldie".

Like I'm going to take your opinion and make it mine just because you said so. GET REAL. Like definition says, if anybody here is the loser, it certainly must be you. Reply To Post by jaggtagg7 (40 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? i just recently named my alto Lecile... It started when i would drive to and from band practice with my alto in the front seat of my car=) so then i thought i should name it. Reply To Post AIM by Mr.Articulation (1 post) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? I named my saxophone, A, since alot of people think that saxophone is spelled saxAphone. Reply To Post by Candyboy (77 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? I play in a Blues based band. My main horn is an old Conn C-mel that I modified and overhauled. The horn has never had any lacquer and has never been polished except on the inside, so it has 85 years of oxidation on the bare brass. It's very shiney where my hands touch it. I call it Crusty Doug Coffman Reply To Post AIM by zoot (21 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone?

Response to 2hard to blow: The knights Templar state that your comment tells every one a lot about you .Perhaps lack of attention, creativity and fun were left behind in your childhood.Never mind the rest of us will go into the play ground and enter into the spirit of the thing.Putting a name to a saxophone shows imagination, character,individuality,So to be able to live in the real world and enjoy the beautiful things that are in it, without imagination one is already dead.The knights Templar feel very sorry for you.By the way the knights think this an excellent post (Bird Lives) Reply To Post by TANGO SIX ONE (255 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? The knights Templar add one more thing that could add much interest to some through imagination.It will make some think hard. When the knights came across many years ago the "The D.B.Cooper. quartet" Reply To Post by Candyboy (77 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? Don't tell me, let me guess. this quartet robbed a bank or something then disappeared by jumping from an airplane into the middle of a desert. Never to be heard from again. Right?

My apologies, I was merely defending the good people of this forum, and trying to get rid of f*heads like 2hard2blow and saxman 89 Reply To Post by SaxMan88 (318 posts) 20 years ago Re: Am I the only one who names my saxophone? Yea, point appreciated. But you're not going to do it by putting yourself in jeopardy either. A lot of these people, and now THE KNIGHTS are having a problem with me, and it just might be me, but now they too are arising as f* heads. These three might end up trashing this forum completely.

Second of all, I only used the one word just so the other guy could relate. I wasn't really angry or anything. Just trying to make it all make sense. Got it? Alrighty then.
