    Hey Pete, thanks for all this information on how to navigate over chord changes. I've got two questions; you keep saying concert keys but you don't transpose for tenor? Bit of a rookie but what's your mouthpiece/reed setup? Thank you.

    • @peterwhitman8629
      @peterwhitman8629 27 дней назад

      If I say concert Bb, that would be the key of C for tenor. I am calling out concert keys since the workshop is tailored for all instruments. See the handouts indicated in the description above for the discussed tunes and topics for Bb instruments which would include the tenor sax. I play all kinds of mouthpieces. The one I am playing in this video is an ARC made by James Bunte. I tend to use Rigotti jazz reeds on this set-up. -Regards!

    @thomascousins9150 Месяц назад

    I've tried a lot of mouthpieces but for tenor I always come back to my Morgan 6L and it works for all the different kinds of music. My second choice is the Selmer short shank C**. Do you have any opinions yourselves about the Morgan mouthpieces?

  • @rogersalles200
    @rogersalles200 Месяц назад

    I bought a Signature Selmer tenor and I have to say it is way better than any vintage horn in every way- I also play a 1963 Mark VI that is way above average compared to other VIs, perfect intonation and the Signature still wins, I won`t get rid of my VI but my point is...these new Selmer Tenors are fantastic in every way, Selmer finally got rid of the old line of saxophones that kept them in the middle of the pack for years, the Supreme and signature tenors put Selmer where they should be.

Seriously, nice video and great playing. I really do love your tone. I have not considered a large chamber piece, but maybe I will give the large chamber Theos a look. Thanks!

    I'm an ex Turkish clarinet player and I just started to play the saxophone. I'm used to reeds which are even softer than 1 and I can produce a stuffy sound with it. I bought a legere 2.25 reed and even that feels too strong for me. I'm gonna try the vandoren zz 1.5 now. Any suggestions?

    • @ChrisF_1982
      @ChrisF_1982 3 месяца назад

      Vandoren is a bit harder than other reeds in my experience. I've had some from Vandoren that were way too hard for my tip opening, as well as too soft. So, maybe something that is made from Rigotti cane or single origin cane could give you better consistency, and a better idea of where you actually are on reed strength.

    Great video. I went from using a berg Larsen 105/1 to a super jet 10 on alto. I loved the superjet but then my embochure was getting tired so I went to a 7. It felt good. I recently bought a DV alto7 and have been experiencing with reeds, Boston Sax shop 2.5,3 and waiting on a Venn 2.5 to arrive to try it. I think I may need a DV8 cuz I feel the DV7 too close. Or do I need to adjust my playing habit? I play Norteño music and the main piece on that are bergs but I wanted something different

    I just bought the 120 that was the only one available without ordering from Japan, at least just now. Being my very first sax or clari, I thought the investment was reasonable. The person in the shop assured me that it suits extremely well for practicing. Your video brought more peace to mind, and some hints how to adjust things. In fact the only real difference is the bell that is all plastic in 120 and the even more simple mouthpiece. What I loved from the first moment is the fact that with the default settings it made me practice blowing into the instrument properly, Thanks again, a good video for a person who was still unsure if this was a good purchase or not. Obviously the salesperson was right. Now I need to practice until it is reasonable to buy a real one.
