Talk:Stritch (saxophone)

Coinage
This article should probably be titled Straight alto saxophone, as "stritch" was probably coined by a single musician, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, to describe his straight alto. Badagnani (talk) 03:55, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I suggest that both manzello and stritch be merged to the Kirk and/or saxophone articles (perhaps alto saxophone in the case of the stritch). See Talk:Rahsaan Roland Kirk. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 17:39, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Update: Michael Cuscuna's liner notes for Roy Haynes' Out of the Afternoon (on which Kirk plays) simply says that the stritch (or strich) is essentially a straight alto. He mentions other musicians that have used antique straight altos, but no mention of etymology. (In short, it doesn't clear up the matter.) -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 19:25, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Edit Summary
I mean to say:

"explain the eytomology of "stritch". If any morphology exists, explain that too.".174.3.102.6 (talk) 15:54, 26 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure anyone knows. Maybe because it looks like the neck of an ostrich, or because it looks stretched. Badagnani (talk) 16:31, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
