    Ok, easy fix, replace the filtering capacitors that have simply blown. That's what the humming noise is. Will cost you a few quids if you can do it yourself. I used to run my own repair workshop some 20 years ago...

    It's in Luxembourg. There is no pre requirement, hence they the entry examen to check your ability to play (3 jazz standards), your harmony knowledge (I've always referred to Théorie de la musique by Danhauser) and your sight reading in the key of your instrument (practice). After that they will decide of your level and your courses. Playing 3 standards of jazz implies playing obvious tracks, hence my choice, that said.

    Being addicted to bebop and especially Wes Montgomery, I'm a fan of the original which is simply incredible to my ears. That could be a wise choice indeed...

    Sold a Musician Sound Design (Hardy Kurandt) onboard preamp to Harry. Smooth, fast and easy transaction. A pleasure to deal with. Bye bye 'til the next time.

    On hold.

    The best small combo ever. GLWYS.

    The nail polish remover is simply acetone. As the nail polish remover hasn't harm the finish, then buy acetone which is way far cheaper and purer, so you can finish the job. I've done this on some aerosol paint weirdos work and it's been working fine. All you'll need to do is a bit of polishing afterwards. If you go the acetone road, first try on a hidden surface and second work outside because of the vapours...

    I also have Bill Evans partition. 😉

    I'll stick to my first choice. Now I need to practice, so I won't need to read and could follow the leader without thinking "Where the hell is he going"...

    Thanks @Reggaebass. I know that wax accepts only wax, but the wax has gone through the other side of the planks over the years, so it's impossible to sand it. I have an old recipe with turpentine to make a varnish for waxed wood, but I sure it will never dry, according to that kind of varnish that my grandmother used for windows and tablets in our now house : not dry yet after more than 50 years.

    THAT is absolute sense of humour. The little Dani has none, that said.

    So my guess was good, it's written music. That said, I've been to lots of modern composers concerts, mainly influenced by Pierre Boulez, and some were harder to listen to than this.

    And congratulations for your risky work.

    Does this finish harden after the 12 hours or even better after a few weeks ? It's not for a fretboard, but my wooden floors. There is 200 to 400 years of wax in them (our house is very old and already represented on the oldest map of 1604), so we have to put wax every year and give them a good shine. If I could find some wax friendly "varnish", I would be more than happy. Maybe a very light stain could do the job.

    It's indeed a Real Book pick, I was simply turning the pages, and pick the 3 ones that seemed right for an audition, knowing that it's not a "premier prix" that I'm preparing. I'll take another look at the Real Book and maybe change my choices, but I'll be playing Take Five for sure, one Miles Davis (So What was my first pick) and one walking bass ballad.
  17. Hellzero
    Sure, I want. The problem is that I have to choose 3 jazz standards. I think that The Girl from Ipanema could be a very interesting bossa ballad to play... And I really love that tune, even more than Desafinado.

    I don't like it, I love it as a whole. Those handpans aka hang drums are a wonderful invention, and using a jew's harp this way is also wonderful as the bansuri and the fretless. Thanks Tony.

    No, they make fret lines for fretless : http://www.luminlay.com/shopen.html

    I ended up watching the first opus. The double bass player seems to know what he is doing, he is holding his German bow the right way and playing each note in tune, must have learnt music at some time. The yelling guy reminds me of this :

    Sorry to bother you, but I also need the depth as it's for my very special shape Berne.
  22. Hellzero
    Fine, can you give me the approximative, knowing that it's not angled, inside height ?
  23. Hellzero
    And what about shipping it ?
  24. Hellzero
    I had to stop as my cat was wondering what kind of bird was in !?! 🤣

    Didn't know the Marco basses. That said have you been to that scary outside 300 meters dive glass elevator and try the unscary "monte sledge" ? And what about that plane landing or take-off on one of the shortest runaway (well bearing it's name) in the world ? Nice and quiet place to be, loved it when I was there for a week seminar.
