Thanks to the Edinburgh Music Centre team, Bryce Ferguson, Euan Fraser and Alfie for sharing their wonderful facilities and expertise, patience and banter while shooting these pics in and around the saxophone studio. On too many occasions to mention here, Bryce has shown himself to be an instrument customiser, restorer and technician of the very highest order. He’s also a master barista and wonderful human being. Thanks also to Allan Lewis for his fine photography. Dear Sheila Sim provided the Dundee artwork. Importantly, many thanks to Allon Beauvoisin for sharing his encyclopaedic knowledge of saxophone theory and practice and for being an almost endless source of inspiration and energy. And finally to Professor Tommy Smith and the Jazz staff at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland for their generous support, friendship and encouragement to make the most of the modest gifts of a mature recreational player.
