Review of Windsor Alto Saxophone

Suzuki Alto 2009 Zh4, an ALTOunative to the Hyundai i10?

Advantages: Much better looking than the i10, Very cheap to run, Spacious interior, Reasonably well appointed
Disadvantages: Lack of power in 3rd gear at low speed, A boot would be a nice addition

...Suzuki`s new Alto has everything you need for A-B travel at a bargain price, the basic model comes with electric windows, power steering and ABS. Pretty standard for a modern car I know but let?s face it other manufactures will have these as more expensive options. Most reviews you will read compare the Alto to the Hyundai i10; I think this is fair so I will do the same. The i10 comes with a more complete basic package and nice little additions like rear discs brakes the Alto also is without a proper glove box for storage ot Sat Nav etc. The Alto also lacks the adjustable rear seats of other small cars like the Twingo, if you think about it though an ?adjusted? rear seat is no longer a seat due to lack of leg room. As far as ride goes I test drove the i10 and found it quite harsh compared with the Alto. The Alto has sharp (maybe too...

Jazz up your life

Advantages: Fantastic music and atmosphere.
Disadvantages: Smokey and packed.

...As some of you may have seen from some of my previous reviews, my wife and I spent christmas last in Amsterdam. One of the reasons that we went was to go to one of the oldest and most famous jazz cafe's in Europe, the Alto Jazz Cafe. Free to get in (a rarity in Amsterdam) and open most nights (not Mondays). The cafe is situated right in the heart of the restuarant and club district of Amsterdam and is easily acessible by foot or public transport, driving there is not so easy. The address and telephone number are: Korte Leidsedwarsstraat 115 Amsterdam Nederland Telefoon: 020 6263249 The club opens at 9pm and my advice is to be there at 9pm otherwise the likeliehood of getting a seat is remote. There is always at least one live band playing and on many evenings more than one. The resident saxophonist is Hans Dolpher, and whilst...

Review of Alto

Lots of New ideas, but nothing Great

Advantages: New enemies, New Power-ups and New Levels
Disadvantages: Repetitive, Familiar and much more possibilities

...When the new super mario bros. came out for the ds it was a ground breaking development it sold out in minutes and was the must have game for the Ds. unfortunately this cannot be said for the wii release. although this version has the ability of multi player on one system and a different story line it still feels very repetitive, the 4 selections of players are. Player 1 must be Mario Other players have the ability to choose from, Luigi, yellow toad and blue toad. the first few levels put you into the retro feel of Mario with the first ever level port and same old monsters attacking you, after the first 3 - 4 levels it will start to get different with new monsters, new challenges and new thumb mashing levels. other new features are 3 new power-ups, one is a snow suit where you fire snow balls that freeze enemies, another is...

Review of New Super Mario Bros. (Wii)

It's a new me

Advantages: It's Mario, it looks lovely, sounds brilliant, plays well
Disadvantages: A little easy, a little short, a little lacking in possible DS features

...After purchasing a Nintendo console one of the first games you have to buy is that consoles Mario game, be it the original games on the NES, the 3D monster on the N64, the wonderfully huge Mario Galaxy on the Wii or of course this, ?New? Super Mario Bros. On the DS. Costing around £30 for the game may seem like quite a lot but with it being Mario you know to expect quality, fun and one of the most complete platforming games available to gamers anywhere out there. Simply put Mario is a sign of Nintendo at their complete best, but how does the DS game hold up against the others in a long line of great games? Well the opening menu gives you a host of options including 2 player, single player and mini games. Though the mini games seem rather pointless they do allow you to have a play with the DS and use the stylus, good idea but sadly...

The best sax in the world!(Selmer reference alto)

Advantages: Incredible tone, easy to play, good intonation - everything you want in a sax!
Disadvantages: It's quite pricey - around £2600+

...This is without a doubt the nicest alto saxophone that I have ever played, and I have played almost all of the leading saxes, (including 2 Mark VI's, Serie II, Serie III, Keilwerth SX90R, yamaha customs, professional yanagisawas etc.) This saxophone is my perfect saxophone, and if I could afford one then I would most definitely trade up my Serie II for one! This sax is basically a mark VI, but improved! It has the same classic tone of a mark VI, but it is easier to play, with improved intonation, and also the keys are more responsive and better designed. This sax is finished in dark lacquer, to try and mimic a vintage look, and it looks spectacular. Selmer have also recently started making a version in an antique matt finish and not engraved, which I don't like as much, but it still looks impressive and sounds great. I would...

Review of Selmer Reference 54 Alto Sax

Nothing New!

Advantages: some good articles, not too expensive
Disadvantages: Quite a lot of boring articles

...Digging into the pile of magazines I bought the previous week, I fumbled across a copy of New! Magazine, this one dated December 2008. I had initially bought the magazine because of the cover stories; news of celebrity 'bumps', and an article about Jade Goody. I could only hope the rest of the articles seemed as promising inside, as this was the first time I had bought a copy of New! After you turn over from the attractive pink cover, you come to the usual contents page you find in a magazine. Usually I skim read this, though as I had not read New before, I decided I'd not bother this time and find surprise in the extra features I hoped to find within. The next few pages contained images and little facts about celebrity gossip and fashion in general. Usually these celebs don't interest me, though on finding Myleene Klass here, I...

Review of New Man - Joe

New Moon - New Chapter - New Highs?

Advantages: Sombre Atmosphere, some captivating moments
Disadvantages: Too long, lack of substantial plot

...expecting to be given a little catch up at the beginning of the film and to be fair there are a few flashbacks however these tell the audience nothing about what has previously happened. Therefore if you?re planning on watching this you really should watch Twilight first. The special features seem to have come on leaps and bounds since the first film. There were scenes in the first film that were merely laughable whereas New Moon seems to have raised the bar significantly. Everything looks fantastic from the super-sized werewolves to the flying vampires. It would appear however that what this film makes up for in impressive special effects it lacks in storyline. Nothing really happens in this film and people that have seen it will surely agree with me. I haven?t read any of the Twilight books therefore am unable to make any sort...
