Please join me in welcoming Tenor Freak to our throng. All tenors, or some in particular? You'll find that there are one or two held in high esteem here.... (Please forgive me for assuming that you are a freak for Tenors: if on the other hand you are a tenor who is also freakish in some way, you're just as welcome  ) Ron |

I think it might be a tenor sax, Ron. Welcome T_F! |

Gosh. I bought a tenor sax mouthpiece just today. Although since I'm a wussy clarinettist who just needs something controllable it was a Vandoren TL3. For a 1919 Conn New Wonder to be precise.
Er, and I sing tenor as well.
Welcome!

Y'mean there are some who aren't? Welcome, Tenor Freak!! Is the Conn in playing condition, Ollie - or a restoration project?  When you were saying you were looking for a nice new comfortable pad, I thought you were moving house, but then... |

The Conn's in OK shape - there's hardly any lacquer left on it, it could probably do with a general looking-at and regulation and a couple of non-essential corks need replacing, but for an ebay purchase it's really very fine. (Of course that very fact is stopping me sending it off for the overhaul it would probably appreciate. Ah well. Too many instruments.)

Welcome Tenor Freak!
Perhaps I'm a touch forward in introducing myself as the resident Jussi Bjorling nut!
But I'm always more than happy to talk about other historic tenors: Caruso, Gigli, McCormack, Martinelli, Schipa, Melchior, Thill, Cortis, Lauri-Volpi, Pertile, Zenatello, Merli, Bergonzi, Vickers, Gedda, Corelli, Di Stefano, Del Monaco, Raimondi, Prevedi, Suthaus, Windgassen, etc, etc.
I also (for my sins), sang first tenor for a number of choirs, including the Edinburgh International Festival Chorus.

Welcome Tenor Freak, which will probably be abbreviated to T.F. in due course...

What ho Reiner.
Now! You well know that there are tenors who are certainly not freaks. Eccentric, perhaps? Different, perhaps? Generally charming, good looking, talented, popular and totally modest - certainly! May I offer a belated welcome to T.F. with a hope that he finds these pages enjoyable and, at times, a little educational. Good friends and colleagues can be found here together with help and advice when required.
Cheers
Soundwave (a rather late tenor)
