The Selmer Mark VI Wars (Part 5) - Reflections Stantawn Kendrick 2021-05-24 | The point of this whole thing was to make you aware of how to look at a vintage horn you are considering buying. Certain factors that may come up with this condition etc. I learned a lot here about horns and what I like and dislike. How one thing may work better than another etc. This could be the end of this series. I appreciate all of you for watching. Here I discuss these 3 horns (including my horn) and my thoughts about them. I'm not yet sure of how this will play out when it comes to purchasing this horn or not. Also... there's a surprise at the end so make sure you make it though lol. Take care you guys.
The Selmer Mark VI Wars (Part 4) - The 121K Mark VI Stantawn Kendrick 2021-05-17 | So after I had the 140K Mark VI for about 5 days I learned as much as I needed to learn about it. If you watched Part 1 and 2 then you noticed I referenced the 121K horn several times saying if things didn't quite work out with the 140K I would be back... well... I came back. I picked up the 121K listen and hear my thoughtsPart 3: youtube.com/watch?v=R6yzAwE-VrcPart 1: youtube.com/watch?v=tO3BjQtGjuM
The Selmer Mark VI Wars (Part 3) - The 140K Mark VI Stantawn Kendrick 2021-05-10 | So... the 140K SN Selmer Mark VI. There's a lot to say about this horn. Some to love... some to hate. I take it easy on it here but there will be more discussion once I get the 121K and make a similar video on it. There's been some things I've noticed about all 3 horns including mine. Some oversights too. Honestly it has been somewhat difficult having this horn for almost a week.Part 2: youtube.com/watch?v=x_MVqG0zGrE
The Selmer Mark VI Wars (Part 2) Stantawn Kendrick 2021-05-06 | So... my horn has some mechanical things that need addressing and it's going to take a couple of weeks to get them sorted. My repairman has a few VIs for me to try out and keep one while he fixes my horn. Can I survive without my ol' faithful? Will I end up buying another Mark VI? Will it be a back up or while my horn become the back up? Come with me on the journey to parts unknown lol.

Pandemic Chops, My Most Viewed Video, Thanks & More... Stantawn Kendrick 2020-09-22 | Hope all is well with everyone. The alto iPhone video portion of this was done the end of last month around the time actor Chadwick Boseman died. I was listening to this Wayne Shorter tune at the time and I did the whole African theme because the Black Panther film came to mind. I finished this up yesterday so the other video clips are more recent. RIP Chadwick Boseman and respect to master Shorter.
