When I was younger I often had the chance to learn a new instrument because it was "just missing" in the next project. So everyone played guitar in the 70ties but there was no double bass player for the school orchestra. Later, with all these Theatre and Modern Dance Groups budget constraints forced the rapid learning curve. When I write music for a specific Instrument I always tried to learn the Instrument and play all the parts myself. I can help with complicated questions like "is circular breathing realistic", what is the playable range of an instrument etc. Usually I have a bunch of traditional Schools that can help to verify article entries. Dont hesitate to contact me in other languages (all deepl languages work fine).

Woodwinds

Soprano Saxophon (now a Keilwerth Dave Liebman): I play both strict classical saxophon in "Nie wieder Nachbarn"-Saxophon Quartett (from Bach to Peter and the Wolf) and very loud Jazz (Theo Wanne 9* durga), Funk, Free form stuff. In the past I used Yanagisawas and very nice Antonio Santoni Paré for classic.

Alto Saxophone: A white AIII Vibrato Sax is now in charge of the Ornette_2020 project and a Conn New Wonder USA is in the repair shop. The cheap vibrato sax is no easy to play but very nice for all styles.

Tenor Saxophone: Different Jazz Setups with Otto Link 9*, Durga, but also Selmer C* Classic style. I had played and studied all styles and can help identifying specifics.

Bariton (Werner Roth Wero Royal GDR): Incredible Horn actually played on recordings and live performances "For Howard" (for Howard Johnson).
