@@MaddoxHumphries thanks!

Thank you!

He's a professor 😭

😂

Thanks for the kind words! It's called a LeFreque Sound Bridge, and it helps a tiny bit with projection and resonance.

@@BobEasonSaxophone Thanks for the reply! If you'll indulge just one more question, I'm curious about the neckpiece you're using. It looks like one of Yamaha's sterling silver variants. If that's the case, do you have an opinion on how much the sterling silver aspect changes the tone or responsiveness (or anything else)? There's some videos out there comparing C1, E1, and V1, but not much info on the specific impact of sterling silver.

@@blaketroutmanar I feel like the sound is a bit more clear and focused with the sterling silver necks. When I use a brass neck, I can make some adjustments in the way that I approach the instrument to give me the same affect, but the silver just seems to do it for me.

@@micahkesner6232 D'Addario D155 with D'Addario 3.0 reeds

@@BobEasonSaxophoneyou sound amazing!!

Thanks!

the 16th notes to be more specific

@@partymaster6475 I think about three things for this: 1) follow through with your air stream, 2) use as little tongue as possible, 3) make the notes as long as possible -- disregard the staccato marks because they will seem short at fast tempos regardless. Hope this helps!

@@michaelcaldwell7107 Thanks for the kind words! I'm using a D'Addario D155 with strength 3.0 reeds.

Are you using those new organic reeds ​@@BobEasonSaxophone

@@shaunfernando5349 I think so? I'm honestly not sure. That reed has probably been in my rotation for 7-8 months. Definitely a D'Addario Reserve 3.0 though!

@@fazeangz237 thanks for the kind words! I'm using a D'Addario D155 mouthpiece with 3.0 D'Addario Reserve reeds.

Thanks, Mark!

Thanks, Josh!

Im not a professional or niether a professor, but i can recommend: Long Tones (even form pianissimo to Fortissimo everynote), Octaves and scales. These are my 3 fundamental studies, and as my teacher says " when you do fundamentals you have to be relaxed and do them as if you had nothing to do after those, because if you have a solid base you can build up from it, if not you would have to go back to the base and build it up again"

@@entity3054 alr thanks man appreciate it

@@fazeangz237 longtones, pitch bending exercises, and overtones for tone! I made a tiktok about articulation speed drills a few months ago - the key is to stay relaxed!

@@pbob3 thanks, Paulo! I hope all is well with you and your family! ❤️❤️❤️

Hah! thanks :)

Send me an email! My info is on the SFA school of music website.

Don't stress! Playing saxophone is supposed to be fun! Enjoy it!

Thanks for the kind words! I work on long tones, mouthpiece pitch stability and flexibility, and breath support!

Long tones, overtones, octave slurs. Practice the fundaments.

Thanks, Aaron!

for sure. I'll post those on tiktok

Lol thanks 😂

@@BobEasonSaxophone So, at NASA I was about to watch you perform a flute transcription. A friend of mine and well respected saxophonists comes over and sits next to me. Me: “Oh! Do you know Bob?” Unnamed person: “No. but I started to transcribe this and realized it was impossible to play. So, I stoped transcribing it. Now I’m curious to hear!”

That would be super cool! As always, thanks for the very kind words :)

Thanks, Mark!

Thanks!

123456, Eb, Low Bb

@@BobEasonSaxophone I am currently using a Yamaha Custom Ex and this multiphonic is very finicky and weird to get out. How should I approach this-is there a specific note I should be voicing more or less to help this multiphonic better speak?

Currently I am voicing up, without aim really, and this is fairly inconsistent

Try to isolate the high Eb. If you can manage that, the rest should fall into place. Keep the back and middle of the tongue super high.

@@BobEasonSaxophone Thank you!
