    Thanks! This was very helpful. We're playing a march called "His Honor" in concert band, and the 1st alto part basically lives in those palm key notes, so this really helps with intonation. However, I think my main problem is "biting" to get those notes out rather than voicing them with my throat, so I need to work on that.

    Can You make a video for people that play the palm keys flat?

    Great tip. I tried it and it works perfectly. I can't believe no one else shows this.

    Great info and a very good looking hat! I would order one but as I live in Scandinavia, the import tax prohibits me from doing so! Best Vibes!

      I never knew that you lived there. I lightly kicked around the idea of moving to Europe (Switzerland).

    Hey man! Great video as usual :D I was wondering, are you ever planning on making a video on the SYOS originals? Very curious on your views!

    Lowering palm key opening heights may also be an option to reduce overall sharpness.

    Can’t wait for the new tone book 😁, but could you not make it in all Caps like the Altissimo one please? 😅

      Yeh! It will not be in all CAPS. There were more than a few people that commented on that. LOL

    Great stuff, as usual. I’d like to pick up a neck strap like yours - do you have an affiliate link?

    I was having trouble seeing which keys were pressed in a demo of alternative fingerings. Then it occurred to me that it would be nice to have a little diagram of sax fingerings lighting up the keys pressed appearing as a picture in picture as the instructor played.
    But how would you do this? (“Dreamer, can you get your hands in your head? Oh no!”) It must be pretty hard because I haven’t seen this anywhere on the Internet.
    Could you do a stop motion video with a bunch of flash cards of fingerings of the whole instrument range, then sync it up with the performance video. Sounds tricky. Sounds time consuming.
    Deconstruct an ewi and catch the midi output in an automation? That’s several steps beyond my technical skills, and an ewi doesn’t have palm keys.

      I will consider it. There are some really nice piano apps that can do this

    While you are a handsome dude, I’d rather see your hands than your face when you are playing.

      Ok, you fixed that, somewhat.
