Tenor Sax and 8-stringed Guitar. Instrumental original by, and with, Per Boysen.
"Bells" for the bell-like guitar chords formed by the wandering of fifths intervals over a G-tone pedal note. "Boden" is the model of my modern electric guitar. The sax is much older, built in 1936. The mouthpiece is also old, manufactured in 1977, mainly by hand, supported by the very first machines in mouthpiece production. It took me a long time and a lot of experimentation with other gear before I realized how brilliant my old tenor sax setup is. I have a handful of modern top tenor mouthpieces, but this old one clearly stands out as the most playable. Isn't it is amazing that modern science has not yet caught up?
