Hi Randal, I am a fan of yours since I saw you play with the cannonball band. I can play in the altissimo range' some notes are inconsistent but I can get to them fairy easily, but still I cant go beyond the forth overtone (two octaves above). I can play the very high overtones but the fifth and sixth don't come out. What helped you get the overtones to the next level?
The higher you go the more narrow the slots are for those partials. It will just take more experimentation with re-orienting the oral cavity and tongue position. And also if your reed is a little soft it will make it more difficult.
Excelentissimo lesson, as always! For tenor saxophone, is the approach the same as it is for the alto saxophone? Am still practicing the alto saxophone approach given by you during my warm up; I do find it very beneficial in its entirety. Thanks for your clear 👍, step-by-step explanation, Randal.
@@randalclarkmusic4333 I have one of those and love it. Although, I am not crazy about the plastic ligature. Do you have a recommendation? I am not a fan of the rovner style leather strap thingy. Thank you
Brings me back 50 years when Joe Allard worked the overtone thing with me.
Great lesson, easy to understand, and I can’t wait for my new cannonball big bell A5 to come in👍🏾
Excellent demonstration
Well done Randal. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing! thanks Randal
Thank you very much. You helped me understand so much
Thanks so much for the tips.
Hi this is Aaliyah, how to make the adjustments in the mouth for overtones
Genial!!!
Gracias...

Yes. The approach is very similar. The only real difference is that the voicing will change due to the larger mouthpiece and range of the instrument.
How many years have you spent on sax?I know how hard that is
Randall, is your Beechler one of the old custom? or the current modern ones? Greetings from Lima, Peru
I got it this one 2020. I do have an old one too. But like this one a lot.
I realize that the mouthpiece has little to do with it but, what are you using here? Kinda looks like an older Beecher.
Yes. It’s a beechler. Not particularly old. 6 years or so. Custom Belite 7
