Great tune (Sunny) to showcase your immensely beautiful sound! It's the G&A by a mile, IMHO. The Beechler is a respectable second. What a treat to hear all of the expressiveness you brought to each piece! Thanks!
Hello Lambros, nice to hear from you here ! I will do more videos soon with the G&A by Eddie Gofman , who by the way is a very talented instrument maker and he is part of the Emeo Team. I am currently playing Verdot 7. I just posted a new video with this fantastic mouthpiece by Barkley Brazil. Check it out ! Greetings!!
You're only testing mouthpieces but your playing here is so good that I'm actually going to slow down your improvised solos and pick some licks from it :)
Entre vos mains votre saxophone nous emmène dans un immense bonheur ! Comment ne pas être sous le charme tellement vous êtes exceptionnelle sur tous les registres et vous êtes de surcroît une grande pédagogue dans vos explications ! Bref, je vous adore Patrice 🎷❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🙏
Merci beaucoup chère Felicity pour votre petit ❤ vous êtes vraiment une bien belle personne, pleine de bienveillance et quel talent ! Vous avez un phrasé qui me donne une émotion intense ! Bref, Vous êtes géniale ! 🌹❤😘
Eu assisto 10× esse vídeo e não me canso. Realmente você toca muito. Meus parabéns. Vejo que já tem meses que foi gravado, mesmo assim, vale apenas ver de novo. Você ganhou mais um inscrito.
Thank you so much for sharing with us ! You are amazing ! And you sound great on all of them ! I think that I liked sound of Beechler and G&A just a little bit more, because they sounded warmer to me, especially G&A. Thank you for always being an inspiration, you are wonderful ❤️
Thank you very much for your lovely message! 💐 I appreciate it very much 🙂❤️ Yes, G&A was my favorite one too ! 🙂 I love that warm sound too ! 😊🙌🏻 Also I was very excited about the material of G&A mouthpiece; antibacterial material Copper 3D. It has been mainly used for production of the medical devices, but even NASA started using it.
I am enchanted with your play! I am inspired. I am looking forward for my sax which I have ordered. I want to play immediately! :) Thank you for the inspiration and drive! Good luck!
@@Felicitysaxophonist It's from bettersax.com and it was like an intuitive decision :-D I am a self-learner and used to have a Chinese model, but lately was not happy with it...
questo assolo mi ma emozionare tantissimo, hai mutamenti della personalità, energia, linguaggio, ad ogni cambio di tonalità. Il suono è affascinante grazie a te ed alle imboccature di nuova tecnologia ed alle legature che mostri e commenti.
U sound on the Verdot was absolutely amazing! It’s like u have brilliance, body and warmth in the tone all rolled into one! Never heard of any other mouthpiece that sounds like that! Really good!
Mais uma vez você calou nossa voz, e ativou apenas nossos ouvidos para ouvir esse belo toque de seu saxofone, você é a rainha do sax Parabéns. , vamos nessa SP, BA, Brasil
O Modelo Brasil esta com um timbre muito bom... Pop... Brilhante... com um grave suave ... Parabens ... OBS: A Maquina que fica atras da Boquilha faz toda diferença ... rsrs
I'm glad to see his channel again. I thought it was gone for awhile. My favorite by far was #2 (with the 8 tip opening). You really seemed to be "on it" with that mpc.
They all sound good. I like the Verdot 8. I blow a Beechler Bellite 8 on Alto for seven years. It is a wild screamer - not for beginners. On Tenor I blow a Berg Larsen s/s 110/2 M (London). I had it for 60 years. Plays anything from hard rock to Getz - very versatile.
Congratulations!!! virtuous execution, you awakened my desire to learn to play sax ... I didn't know that I had so many desires inside until I heard you ... infinite thanks !!!!! God bless you so much!👍🏻
Very intriguing to discover you! I love your playing on Sunny! I was surprised at how good G&A sounded! Beechler has the best core tone and is inviting to hear. Malbec tended slightly flat but good, Verdot most like a Dukoff and amazing potential but may be to bright for modern sax sound.
Good night Felicity, a great honor to see and hear you talking about the mouthpiece and here in Brazil. Hearing you name my country made me very happy. the videos every day are better and the music you played is very beautiful and the tone of the alto saxophone every day more beautiful and congratulations on the excellent musical work you do on RUclips. may God always bless you Hello from Rio de Janeiro Brasil 🇧🇷
Thank you so much for your beautiful message. I appreciate it very much 🙂❤️. I saw some of your videos too 🙂❤️I hope I can come to Brazil 🇧🇷❤️ the next year !
@@Felicitysaxophonist Good afternoon Felicity, did you watch my videos? Thank you very much for caring. My videos are simple and homemade productions. The day you do a musical concert in Brazil _(preferably in Rio 🙂🙂)_ I will do anything to go and see it.
@@fmendoncatecladista Yes , I visited your channel and I really loved your musicality.🙂❤️ That’s very sweet of you! Hope things will get better, so we can start traveling again 🙂
Hi. Must admit my favourite would be the verdot 8. Having said that, I'm not a pro sax player and have a long way to go. Although I do have a musical background as a pro bass trombonist. Good luck in everything you do xx
Sorry, but I had to comment. I like some of the songs you play... I love the sound of the saxophone and with an impressive talent you make beautiful versions of wonderful songs. The song Imagine by singer John Lennon was perfect in his interpretation. Your channel name matches your personality! And in this video, well dressed, beautiful, stunning! I liked!😄
Excellent review Felicity. I really like the sound you are getting from the Barkley. I've never heard of that manufacturer before but it's clearly a great mouthpiece - plenty of edge and cut but lots of body as well. I'd love to hear about your recording technique; the standard of production on all of your recordings is first class.
I love to receive messages like yours Mark. 🙂❤️🎷Great comment about the mouthpieces! Thank you very much for your compliments as well ! You can find me as @felicitysaxophone on Instagram or Facebook and contact me , if you have any questions. I will love to help. My best wishes and Merry Christmas! 🙂❤️
Excellent review as always and really love your channel. I was wondering what you thought about the pmauriat horns especially the system 76 dark lacquer alto?
@@Felicitysaxophonist 😍😍Není vůbec zač!😊. Moc nás těší vaše pochvala a vážíme si toho. Sledujeme vás na Instagramu a jste skvělá!! Přejeme hodně úspěchů a snad někdy budeme mít tu možnost si s vámi zahrát.😀😀🎶🎷
Very nice! I was really impressed with the 3d printed one. So many of them have a very fuzzy sound that I imagine comes from them not being hand finished. I also like that your sax has rolled tone holes. Which brand is it?
Oh yes , definitely! I was actually very surprised to hear the result of this recording. Because one thing is to hear by your ear and got some impressions, and then actually hear your sound from the recording. I am definitely going to switch to Barkley as I mentioned in my video and I am looking forward to record some new songs ! 😊❤️
Hola! Las 3 boquillas te suenan genial, se escuchan con mucho control y el timbre es similar, pero con sus particularidades. Es muy buena referencia. Saludos desde México.
Thanks for the great video Felicity! You sound great on all of them! May I ask, did you EQ the sax channel much, and tweak it between the different mouthpieces? Now I have Sunny in my head 😍
Thank you very much for your kind reply Brendan. I used the same EQ and I add a little bit of reverb. I recorded my solo to the same channel so all mouthpieces are having the same EQ and reverb. As well I used the same reed (Vandoren Java red cut 2 and half )
hmm, I sensed a degree of connectedness when you played the Beechler which was less pronounced with the other three pieces. If you have a birthday coming up, xmas maybe - have someone gift you a piece by Phil-Tone , hmm, maybe his Intrepid! Gorgeous tone on all pieces by the way :-)
Thank you very much for your kind reply. I am very pleased that you liked my video . I was trying to make it very useful and informative for other saxophone players 🙂❤️
Interesting. You sound great on all of them. A very contemporary sound. Personally I prefer a darker sound , but for the style you play these mouthpieces sound great
You sound more confortable on all metal mpcs... I was impressed by the Barkley gold one, wide range of expression even if I could tell that the Beechler is 'your' mpc. Thanks for the video
I am returning back to playing the Alto sax .i started out on clarinet Tenor sax Bari sax then now I’m back on Alto sax .i have a Giardinelli GAS10 with Otto link hard rubber 8 star. I love your sound n I like the 7/8 metal mouth piece. You really motivated me to go another level. What Alto sax brand are you playing thanks again
I listened this video in the background, and when the crazily high notes were articulated with great clarity, I suspected that the instrument is not ordinary. That's not stuffy old Selmer; that instrument is actually stabile and evenly articulated across all registers, which is not the case with most saxophones. What is it?
@@Felicitysaxophonist I listened this video many times; the saxophone is brilliant. It has a sort of an old soul & looks, but plays like a 22nd century instrument. I know many players would choose Selmers, Yamahas, or any other big brand name ... But you chose small, almost unknown boutique instrument shop? I like that. Thanks for the video.
Hello there, You sounded simply amazing, astonishing, and awesome on all four mouthpieces. I was totally awestruck and spell bound by your video demonstration... especially your ability to modulate to a higher key with each of the mouthpieces as you progressed to the next one. Concerning your high range and altissimo register sounds... all I can say is WOW... double WOW... triple Wow,... and even quadruple WOW! Do you personally play much in the lower registers? I recently purchased a Barkley Kustom Pop hard rubber mouthpiece and a Jody Jazz DV metal mouthpiece (no regrets). Both are excellent mouthpieces. The Kustom Pop is fuller sounding while the DV is very free blowing (which I especially like). Also in the distant past, I owned a regular Beechler metal (not the custom model) alto sax mouthpiece. I found it to be very resistant and hard to play, so I sold it. By the way, my alto saxophone is a Selmer Mark VI. I play gospel saxophone on both in my church every Sunday. I just came across your video mouthpiece demonstration above, and I was so intrigued by the sound of the Verdot or the Malbec that I just may purchase one of them. Which of the two do you feel is the most free blowing (less resistant), the most expressive, and which had a fuller sound? Which was more velvety and mellow sounding to you? Do you know if the silver and gold plating affects the sound in either of the two mouthpiece models. Another question in general. When you learned to play vibrato on your sax, did you use the wah- wah-wah-wah, vah-vah-vah-vah, or yah- yah-yah-yah method? Scott Paddock who plays Barkley's Kustom Pop hard rubber mouthpie recommends saying doi-doi-doi-doi to practice and learn vibrato. My vibrato is very under developed... so I need your input as how to best learn and perfect it. Hope to hear from you soon. Too bad I couldn't understand any of the foreign (non English) the comments you received under the 4 mouthpiece video you posted. Thanks! Lester
Hello Lester, Thank you very much for your lovely message. 🙂❤️ Please , find my profile on Instagram @felicitysaxophonist and I can send you voice messages as your questions are very specific. To reply to your question about the mouthpieces. I really liked Verdot 8 and I just made a new video where I play Verdot 8 very smoothly in love register. The sound is just amazing. It’s a live recording. ruclips.net/video/qXSQZpi1ndU/видео.html As I explained in my review, the most important thing about the mouthpiece is the baffle. It’s probably more important than the material itself. In this case Verdot is really an interesting choice. About the vibrato sound. I generally don’t pronunce anything, it’s all about the breathing technique. If you will listen to my last video , you can notice that I like to gradually increase and decrease the sound. And with the vibrato is similar technique. I will love to do a video about the breathing technique. It’s difficult to me to explain it like this. But probably the wah-wah sound would be the closest to it. 🙂❤️ My best wishes and greetings! Let’s keep in touch! 🙂
Amazing solo and the sound and you are beautiful too wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't stop listening to your solo. My favorite mouthpiece is verdot, but I've ordered few days ago The Official Michael Lington Alto Mouthpiece by Oleg with Olegature and I'm still waiting for it. What do you think of this mouthpiece and how can I learn to play that kind of solo?
Thank you very much for your kind message Leszek. I don’t know that mouthpiece, so I can’t give my opinion ☺️ About the solo , I like to play things which are understandable for the listeners and I try to find some interesting rhythm patterns or musical ideas which might be engaging. When it goes to scales , I like very much Jerry Bergonzi improvisation series. Especially vol. 1 and 2
I was expecting you to play some Bach or alike since you are dressed like someone that is about to go to the opera, and then you go and play Sunny in quite a funky way 😂😂. Quite shocking, I may say! The Lola Astanova of the funky Sax!

Thank you very much for your lovely message. 🙂❤️ Please , find my profile on Instagram @felicitysaxophonist and I can send you voice messages as your questions are very specific. To reply to your question about the mouthpieces. I really liked Verdot 8 and I just made a new video where I play Verdot 8 very smoothly in love register. The sound is just amazing. It’s a live recording. ruclips.net/video/qXSQZpi1ndU/видео.html
As I explained in my review, the most important thing about the mouthpiece is the baffle. It’s probably more important than the material itself. In this case Verdot is really an interesting choice.
About the vibrato sound. I generally don’t pronunce anything, it’s all about the breathing technique. If you will listen to my last video , you can notice that I like to gradually increase and decrease the sound. And with the vibrato is similar technique. I will love to do a video about the breathing technique. It’s difficult to me to explain it like this. But probably the wah-wah sound would be the closest to it. 🙂❤️
My best wishes and greetings!
Let’s keep in touch! 🙂

Amazing solo and the sound and you are beautiful too wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't stop listening to your solo. My favorite mouthpiece is verdot, but I've ordered few days ago The Official Michael Lington Alto Mouthpiece by Oleg with Olegature and I'm still waiting for it. What do you think of this mouthpiece and how can I learn to play that kind of solo?
Thank you very much for your kind message Leszek. I don’t know that mouthpiece, so I can’t give my opinion ☺️ About the solo , I like to play things which are understandable for the listeners and I try to find some interesting rhythm patterns or musical ideas which might be engaging. When it goes to scales , I like very much Jerry Bergonzi improvisation series. Especially vol. 1 and 2
I was expecting you to play some Bach or alike since you are dressed like someone that is about to go to the opera, and then you go and play Sunny in quite a funky way 😂😂. Quite shocking, I may say! The Lola Astanova of the funky Sax!
hello felicity actually i loved the G&A tone and sound where can i find it ?
