I can hear a difference....I hear a more radical difference than this on my horn if I use different reeds, or change the eq on my mic, or change the room I'm recording in....in short, it will ALL make a subtle difference. I posit that maybe as the player, the difference might be less subtle to YOU, in which case it's totally worth the $$$$
True. We need to take into account the bias of the player when he knows it is attached (the placebo effect). He needs to be blindfolded, and then handed a sax which has it attached, and then another that doesn't. Then we need to do a waveform analysis of the two recordings.
@@PracticaProphetica my thoughts are also that the change in the balance of the horn may make a difference (perhaps that’s the only thing in play). If we mounted a sax to a stand, eliminating that as a factor completely, that would help as well.
Well, at least you heard a difference. Sometimes I feel like the difference is in how the horn responds, and possibly slightly less in how it sounds to the audience.

I think you’re right, it really makes a difference right there on the horn as I play it.
Ty enjoyed the video
I’ll wait for a true double blind test

Could hear a slight difference in sound quality. Listening on my cellphone speaker is not the best sound production.
