  2. These are excellent resources on purchasing, setting up and maintaining an audio system.   Skews towards the higher end.

    Good Sound: An Uncomplicated Guide to Choosing and Using Audio Equipment by Laura Dearborn ($9) ($8)

    The Complete Guide to High-End Audio by Robert Harley ($17) ($16)

    Price are delivered to a US address.   Take them both for $20.  ($19)

  3. Purchased in 2001 for $2000, this was the entry level power conditioner.  It works and includes all the different power settings.   It does have a tendency to occasionally shut off...which according to PS Audio may be due to faulty fan.  It does get warm.  Given the age and the occasional shut off problem, I would let this go for $300+shipping (it is heavy) but I do have the original box.   Not sure if PS Audio still services this....so it may be best for someone who has electronic skills or access to someone who does.

  4. I am offering the following in this excellent series:  PRICE REDUCTION

    The Improvised Melodic Line  (book and 4 cassette tapes in which Mike explains and demonstrates his concepts) $17.50 $15.00  $12.00

    Theory and Musicianship (book and 4 cassette tapes as above)  $17.50  $15.00  $12.00

    Voice and Voice Leading for the Contemporary Jazz Pianist  (this is book only as there is no audio recording companion)  $12.00 $10.00 $8.00

     

    Books and Casettes in excellent condition.  Prices are delivered to a US address.    Would prefer sell all 3 books at $40.00  $33.00 $25.00

     

     

  5. I saw Mike Longo several times on the bandstand .....very much enjoyed his playing.

    But one thing no one has mentioned so far ----are his instructional books ---which are great.

    In the 90s, when I was studying jazz and sax, my teacher suggested Mike's books: The Improvised Melodic Line, Theory and Musicianship, and Voicing and Voice Leading for the Contemporary Jazz Pianist.   The first two come with accompanying recordings with Mike explaining or playing the concepts he has in the books.  I found these to be extremely helpful.  

    And as an aside, when I went to purchase these, I ended up in his apartment as he was selling them from his own place.  He was gracious and kind, asked me about what I was trying to learn and even demonstrated a few concepts for me while I was making the purchase.  What a great guy!

    As TMJ derailed my sax "career", I don't use these any more.

    If someone is interested in these, please let me know.

     

     

     

  6. If you are reading this you probably know that Bundy is made by Selmer and is considered a student model.  I bought this in the early 1980s but I have kept it in great shape by having it regularly serviced by NY area repairman Bill Singer who is the best.   So the pads have been changed several times and the horn has been lubed and cared for.  I would say that the finish is in very good condition.

    Obviously the best would be if you live in the NYC metro area where I live you can try the horn for yourself...but willing to ship.

    I am asking $250.
