A good quality instrument is a must. If you are serious in playing don't buy a cheap sax. I have a Yamaha YAS 62 and it plays beautiful. Yes It's expensive but well worth it.

Also excessive saliva build up on the inside of the reed face can cause squeaking. Simply remove the reed, wipe it down and try again. Also diaphragm and embouchure control will prevent squeaking. Thats something that just takes time. Sometimes you have to be careful how you lay (attack) into a note. Sight reading can contribute to the problem. Sometime it is possible to spend more time concentrating on the reading than what you are doing with the instrument. All this stuff just takes time to figure out so don't give up..

You said too hard reeds tend to squeak, but for me it is the opposite. When reeds are too soft, I get a lot of squeaks especially when the reeds are getting softened by playing them „too long“. When I change to new reeds of the same strength, the squeaking stops.

I watch around 10 saxophone channels (beginner on alto sax currently; I mostly watch "Better Sax" and "Get Your Sax Together"), and I really hope you channel takes off. You have a lot of unique tips and a good personality. Look forward to more content!

Didn't know JD played the horn

La A45 se escucha con más cuerpo que la theo según lo que escucho yo

sehr cool

Admittedly I have a Sakshama MB2, but this sounds like a kazoo to me.

Nice one What's the price?

Please can you make a video on positioning of the mouth on the saxophone for beginners

Great demo, thanks!!

Nice positive video.🙂

In my saxophone, the lower octave key was not correctly centered over the opening. This sometimes caused a squeak and sometimes a kind of "rumble" (Quin Marry in the harbor) but not as usual with beginners on the low notes (B, B flat) but on the middle notes between G and D.

Excellent video, very helpful, thanks.

tnx for the video

Once again a very fair test with comparable results. Thanks.🙂

Gotta love em, "ze germans"😂

Good test. Did you mean NUX B6 clip on mic? That’s the one I gig with and it sounds terrible in the test 🙈.

Nice test where differences between the mics were made very clear. Thanks.

I have often battled with the absolute lowest notes. After my last gig I realized what was wrong. I had my sax hanging too low and one of the keys was hitting against my thigh instead of opening!

some really useful info on preparation for this.

Good videos Patty. My issue with playing with DJs is most of them are idiots.

Helpful video. Thank you, sir. Will share :)

Great information, thank you.

much salive can also make squeaking

Was useful 😁

I didn't want to buy it myself, but I got it for my birthday. It's actually a very good bit of kit and really works. I can now better concentrate on my tone. I don't use it with an audience, because normally there is a monitor in front of me. 😁

Reed position on the mouthpiece can also cause squeaks. Sometimes when adjusting the mpc for tone the reed can get pushed out of place so it’s a good idea to check it.

This video confirmed that I am on the right track. I’m a gigging saxophonist at the moment playing at venues. Jazz, pop and that sort of stuff. But I am practising being able to play as a sax-dj. Love your content.

If the DJ is going to choose the tunes. eg Mr Sax o Beat surely he/She is going to have tracks with Sax already on them?

Great advice. Thank you.

It would appear that you did not ‘tune’ the two instruments to the same note, hence why the Jupiter sounds a little off compared to the YAS23 (AS100). That said, the YAS23 is still the better instrument, regardless of the tunning! Thanks for sharing your experience with these two instruments.

Very interesting your comparison. Thanks

Yamaha 62 wins

The Yamaha sounds better than the Jupiter

The jupiter did not sound good. It sounded stuffy and tone was less

Patty, Thanks so much for this review! Keep practicing. It would be awesome to see you live playing guitar and Saxo!!! best of luck, and I will be buying a Just Joe's Strap because of this video. Very helpful!

Just bought this sax myself after not playing for 20 years. Thanks for the video. Still playing?

Your comparison is so beautiful & systematic. I have seen so many people comparing different makes but your concept of comparison is indeed great. For me Jupiter is Mellow & Yamaha is Bright.

ich finde in den tiefen Tonlagen sind beide ähnlich, in den überblasenen Registern hat das Jupiter einen etwas nasalen und "engeren" Klang, das Yamaha einen etwas volleren. Ich denke wenn man bedenkt dass das Yamaha idR. deutlich teurer ist reicht für einen Anfänger auch das Jupiter wenn man nicht allzu hohe Ansprüche hat.

Hello Patty, I am Stephen Cheung - This Saxophone All-in-one Apps Designer 😊 Thanks so much your Recommend and Support ... Hope you all Guys enjoy the Apps 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Bruh the Yamaha cost 3 times more than the Jupiter it’s definitely going to sound better

A much better useful comparison than the usual rapid fire rate of improvised notes that nearly everyone else does.

The Jupiter was a little sharp the whole time so I couldn’t get a sense of tone from the Jupiter compared to the Yamaha. Of course the Yamaha is better, yet you’re getting an instrument almost as good but for 1/2 the price.

I'm going to bet I'll like the Yamaha better... yup. Of course, for 3x+ the $$$. Jupiter is a. bit. nasal sounding but for like 2 grand, I'd live with the Jupiter.

The Yamaha has a warmer and better tone than the Jupiter. The Jupiter sounds a little stuffy...and annoyingly buzzy. The Yamaha has a more refined tone and better tonal body.

Sehr hilfreich. Vielen Dank dafür.
