Recording saxophone - Yamaha 61 tenor on a Neumann TLM 102

Use headphones for best listening results
My recording saxophone series has brought me to the Neumann TLM 102 large diaphragm condenser microphone using my Yamaha 61 tenor saxophone for the demo. The tenor is a vintage 1970's made saxophone and is a great tenor brought to life in this demo by the mini monster and cute Neumann TLM 102. A fantastic microphone.

Great video Ian! Thank you very much for doing it. It's very interesting to hear how different mics capture the saxophone sound. I had excellent results with an unexpected microphone, the Shure SM81 which is mostly used for drums overhead. Its death plain and even response help to get really nice saxophone takes.

Maybe I try the sm81 and do a video.Thanks for the suggestion.
