you are absolutely amazing all the way from London here..and its just as much educational ..inspirational...and entertaining ..so thank you from heart Sir..
Good morning bro. Migrating to the USA very soon because of you and others like you l now play tenor much more than alto. I intend to purchase your altissimo book for tenor. I also intend to do some courses.Shame on those companies especially Cannonball and those mouthpiece companies for not sponsoring a class act like you. God bless you sir.
Thanks so much for this vid! Your vids are amazing. I am so impressed with your level of play and the fact that you are so dedicated and willing to share your knowledge. The sky is the limit for you in any setting. You could rock any session gigs if you want to become land-based. As a doubler on flute, I think it was great to hear your great sound on flute as well. I am doing the Hay Burner thing with big band and starting to attempt to transcribe the Fun Time thing to the extent that I can. Based upon your gig, I assume you are playing for the Sultan of Brunei or are the resident star in Dubai somewhere. LOL
Thanks for that Sir. Really appreciate this kind of thing - I find it really inspiring. 👍 My name's T.H. Woth, and I endorse this video. (Now you have an endorsement. Yay!) 🎷
Thank you so much for this video it answers many questions I had in mind for you...Shoot, I wouldn't promote stuff they aren't paying me to promote either, you're following his huge, I imagine.. I would definitely but your altísimo book when it comes out.. No one in decades I have seen explain it better. Appreciate you, man
I've been watching you magic for a while and I've noticed that the throw of keys is three times in length on my sales than yours. I have three tenors an alto and sopranos.The sopranos are superb instruments but the rest are low grade student level sales. Reason being is being on the road and getting my horns beaten up, brusid, scared etc My clarinet is a Leblanc ll, 1963, shipped to the USA and then oiled after arrival instead of being oiled overseas. Subjected to attitude ups and downs and temperature changes. I say all of this to ask what brand of alto and tenor saxophones do you play. What I have is extremely hard to play because of the long throw of keys. By the time I'm ready to play other notes I'm five to ten notes behind the music especially in Church where my playing should be perfection. I greatly appreciate your help, thanks sandy.
My tenor is a Cannonball VR, my alto and soprano are both Allora. You can have your local repairman set the horn up the way you want. Most people do this whenever they get a new sax but I've never needed to do this. Pro horns lend themselves to being adjusted better but almost all modern student saxes have key height adjustability.
Hi, your practice place looks great, you can practice spontaneously without a tinge of thought that the big sound may be heard by neigbors. I've got the big problem: I can not practice in my place due to considerations for others living around me. I will go to desert.
I haven't always had access to a Bari sax but man it really is a fun horn to play. I will do more bari stuff when I acquire another baritone sax. Thanks for watching.
WOW... awesome... thats the REAL dream! all instruments I want to learn. What were the sequence of instruments that you learned? saudações do Brasil! :)
With all those instruments you have , have you thought about trying the Yamaha venova instrument? I just bought them (alto and tenor) to play around with. BTW been playing tenor sax for 30 years and I enjoy all of your videos. In fact thinking about buying that cannonball sax. The mpc videos got me hooked on The metalite M5.
Its been a long work in progress..... still working on it too. Hopefully, when everything settles back into some form of normal, I'll be able to get it out. Thanks
Hey man, after receiving feedback from you about how the medium and large chamber v16 mouthpieces are great, would you recommend the t5 large chamber (metal) over the D'Addario select Jazz, in terms of low notes and tone?
I haven't tried the D'Addario select jazz piece, only the soft rubber marble. Between those two it is a very subjective thing. The Vandoren is more traditional and more expensive but the Marble D'Addario is more unique. The low end of the LC T5 is fantastic but I feel like the Marble has a more balanced overall tone
You're very talented and I love your videos. Ditch the tenor recorder and get a bflat maui xaphoon made of bamboo. It sounds much better, and is equally awkward
Yes. Mostly in college when I really needed to figure out what I wanted every note on the horn to sound like. It's not enough to play long tones. You should be thinking of how the notes fit in context to the music. Transcribing the way people play melodies is a great exercise.
Sirvalorsax yeah Just want to work on my tone in general. I want to start gigging soon (I’m a Junior in high school) and I feel like my overall tone is pretty unpolished. I’m going for a “Kirk Whalum” type of sound
@@pedrodavidrodrigues3481Yes! It does change the sound. Any kind of lacquer or plating will change the weight of the sax or lack thereof for that matter. They all have different properties even across brands. Silver plating on Yanagisawa will sound different from Selmer and also different from vintage silver plated saxes. Also, a polished silver lacquer will sound different from silver plating for example. I prefer the regular lacquer for a few reasons. One, it has the most neutral sound. Two, it is easier to maintain and Three, the resale value will be high and the sax will sell easier. Thanks for watching
The clarinet and the flute are both Cannonball. Clarinet is Arezzo and the flute is Mio. The soprano is an Allora Paris Series professional. I have a 2 part review on this horn.
Good Sir, pro insights.... thanks. You should get a base salary plus a bonus mu[tiplier, per note, based on degree of difficulty. I shoulda concentrated on the squeeks more back in the day. Humbling.
Have you had a chance to get with either of the companies that produce the 3D printed pieces? Would that interest you at all? Would love a review. I'm playing a SYOS 8*3 tenor piece now and I love it. Thanks for the awesome vids. 🎷🎶

I think there are two big things going on here. 1, the older horns are pretty bad by comparison of the manufacturing process of today's new horns so you are probably getting bouncing keys with the older ones. The tone of the older horns is unbeatable in my opinion. Aside from there being something mechanically wrong with the neck, it seems like the resistance is much different on the other neck. Before you buy another neck, try different strength reeds to get a really good fit for the other neck. Just as we would use different reeds for a different mouthpiece, try different reeds for a new neck which is an extension of the mouthpiece. GOOD LUCK!!
Alessandro Villatoro yeah I really like that song. Played it earlier this year worked really hard on it. Me and the other tenor in our school band played Parker songs to try out. He did Donna Lee and I did ornithology. Then all the saxes pretty much learned Donna Lee so we could play it together. Working on “An Oscar for Treadwell” now.

Dark Amber lacquer. I used to have the Brute also which is unlacquered. I had the Black Nickel and the Hotspur in other videos also
