Key Leaves' Gap Cap is GREAT!
Просмотров 9684 года назад
In this video, we're checking out Key Leaves' Gap Cap. It acts as a regular end plug while letting the horn get some extra air into it so that it dries out better after you've played. However, the BEST part of it is its' ability to help your horn to not move as much around your case, preventing maintenance issues!

    I’ve been practicing, jamming, and performing daily on the same Alta Jazz 2 alto for FOURTEEN months with no detectable degradation. Incredibly beautiful reed! I’ve never found ‘the’ Legere, and I’ve tried them all, including the American Cut. I played Fibracell for years but the Silverstein has replaced everything, including cane. Also having good success with the 2 tenor. We’re all different, I am not dark on my setups.

    Dont know what it is about Keilwerth horns. I always like the sound no matter who is playing or what mouthpiece/reed was used. SX80 or MKX. A little more often than when I hear a Selmer-Paris VI or Reference 36 or 54, Over Yanagisawa's, and the madse in Taiwan brands. Not that people I heard play them couldn't get good tones. I just have preferred the "Keilwerth sound"...maybe the geometry is different enough? Something in their sauce in Germany? :)

      @@mambojazz1 I wasn't trying to insult anyone. I was just expressing my feeling concerning his tone. Yeah, I didn't care for his tone, but there are many saxophonists tone that I don't care for (Kenny G, and David Sanborn to name just two). I'm sure that there are those saxophonist, that their tone may offend you? Are you saying that one shouldn't comment on that, or anything , if there are negative connotations towards it? Hell, I get plenty of people telling me that a lot of my music that I compose sounds like "elevator music", which doesn't bother me at all. I actually enjoy elevator music. Go back in time to many of the critics of certain classical GIANTS, including one of the greatest, Igor Stravinsky. Concerning his masterpiece, "The Rite of Spring", one critic said that it was a bunch of noise, made no musical sense, a work of a madman, etc., Go listen to jazz artists like Albert Ayler, John Coltrane (avant grade years), Thelonius Monk and many more. People said that it was not musical, all noise etc., Is this considered an insult to these composers and players, or, are they just expressing freedom to comment, to express one's opinion, negative or positive? You will find this in all genres and walks of life! One last thought, go to my channel and you're welcome to comment (negative or positive), on my tone, my arraignments, my compositions etc., You might even subscribe?
