What's the average lifespan of a saxophone reed?

Depends on how much you use it, what brand and what strength (number) it is. Professionals will go thru many reeds in a week while a beginning student can make one last weeks, unfortunately. When it turns black and / or starts to smell, crack, chip it is usually time to replace it.

Black-footed ferrets have been known to live up to 12 years in captivity.As far as out in the wild where they belong, there isn't much known about them, and currently since they are on the endangered list, there is captive breeding going on to introduce them back into the wild.\nAs far as the domestic ferret is concerned, lifespan is variable anywhere from 6 years and up.  All the yrs I have been an owner, the longest I had one was 10 years but I have heard of some though rare reaching 12.

Depends really on how long it lives.

The lifespan of a Common Garter Snake is difficult to determine. Several studies have been conducted to determine the average life of a Common Garter Snake in the wild. Unfortunately the studies do not agree on the life span, but the average has been determined to be approximately two years

That's normal. I'm a French horn player too.\n\nYou will always have that mark after playing the horn. It will go away in about ten minutes or so, depending on how long you've played. \n\nTo lessen the pain, don't jam the mouthpiece into your face. Hitting high notes comes from using more air from your lungs, not by applying more pressure with the horn. If you use pressure, you'll only get a constipated sound.\n\nYes, and chapstick is always a good thing to carry around in your pocket if you are a horn player.

I had my pulmonary valve replaced last year at the age of 34.\n\nAnimal valves (pig or cow doesn't matter) are good because they function naturally just like normal human valves.  They require no upkeep at all during their lifetime and no special limitations.  However, they wear out every 10 to 15 years and must be replaced.  This means a major surgery is guaranteed a little less than once a decade.  Animal valves have no risk of rejection at all.  The human body doesn't even recognize them.  They are a good choice for young people who will still be healthy enough in 12 years to undergo another surgery.  \n\nSynthetic valves are good because they do not wear out.  On the downside, they have many edges where clots can form so the recipient will have to be on blood thinners the rest of his life.  Blood thinners cause bruising all over the body.  They make it more difficult to heal and may contribute to a host of medical conditions.  Like animal valves, there is never any risk of rejection.  Synthetic valves are a good choice for elderly patients who probably won't be strong enough in 12 years to withstand another surgery.\n\nGood luck.\n\nP.S.  don't pay any attention to the guy below me.  Should be sanitized?  They all come completely sanitized and hermetically packaged from the med lab.  Don't worry about unsanitary valves of any sort.

The saxophone or sax is a conical-bored instrument of the woodwind family, usually made of brass and played with a single-reed mouthpiece like the clarinet. It was invented by Adolphe Sax around 1840. The saxophone is most commonly associated with popular music, big band music, and jazz, but it was originally intended as both an orchestral and military band instrument

And you've tried www.wwbw.com?  Try also Ebay, of course.  \n\nOther than that, try www.saxquest.com in St. Louis.  You'll have to email him and ask if he has one or maybe he'll know where you can get one.\n\nAnother source is Bob Ackerman in NYC.  I'm not sure if he deals with mouthpieces, but he'll know as well as anyone where to find one of these.

Kronos is by Robert W. Smith. Here's the site that has the best price I could find -it's for a concert band - not just for sax. Looks like just the sax sheet is not available for sale. \n\nhttp://www.music44.com/X/product/BDM04043-D

The previous guy was great with all the information. The only issue is that any of us could get that exact same set up, and it won't sound like he did. That was just a Desmond sound that he made. As far as I've heard, and I've talked to a lot of pro saxophone players, no one has ever been able to duplicate that sound.

the life span of the print head depends upon the level of usage and maintenance.   If you don't use the printer often, or let it sit for a few months unused the print head will dry out.     If you are a heavy user who performs regular maintenance and only uses canon original cartridges your life span can be years.  I am still on my original print head on an s520 I purchased 6 years ago.  I print anywhere from 40-500 pages per week.
