How do you like the Yanagisawa awo10?

Will there be a bari anytime? Or is there an equivalent model with the bari?

Looks like you could fit a soprano in one of the side pockets.

Extremely well done review! I started out with Selmer and appreciate the history (Mk VI, especially), but I gotta admit, these Yanagisawa models are amazing instruments. You are one of the few I've heard on YT who are equally superb in classical and jazz forms. My thinking is that Yanagisawa saxes are just that much more expensive than "equivalent" Yamahas or Selmers that they may be a bit out of reach. However, with such fine instruments, I'd find a way to sacrifice in some other areas (expensive restaruants, toys, trucks, fancy coffees) to make up the cash I needed to obtain one of these top shelf saxes. Extremely well done review!

Honest review --- pros and cons! thank you so much!

I wish you had reviewed the alto too

Can't find your reviews on website 😮

I bought a new W10 Tenor and I love it. The key work is not only lightning fast, I found it forces me to keep my fingers closer and tighter together which is something I have been trying to work on for 30 years. Most importantly, the tone allows for that modern Brecker sound that is in my head. I love this horn.

Do you have a comparison between marble and hard rubber?

I know I xommented a while ago, but you should do a demonstration of the tenor and bari at some point!

Thanks for this. Is the padding still good after 5 years, would you recommend it? Still debating to get one, I currently use a bam trekking with the soprano bam hiphop and love the quality of my alto case but the soprano not at all, also is too heavy when put together.

Dispiace apprendere che un azienda storica che ha realizzato bocchini fantastici, acquisendo fama mondiale produca pezzi non all'altezza del nome che porta. Pensare che nuove aziende realizzano bocchini di pregiata fattura e otto link non ne sia più capace, come se avesse disimparato, un peccato davvero, tengo a precisare che suono otto link da 40 anni. Ottima recensione amico. 👍🎷

Those ligatures are likely made in China, what should we expect? Did you try a vintage ligature? Might make a difference.

Nice sound, finally a classical demonstration along with jazz.

tip opening and reeds???

What a beautiful Tone and playing

I'm planning to purchase it from a Korean store. What size is used in the video?

Great Job, helps so much. You Player incredibly good!!!!

While they all sound good but I don't think the cost of the necks is worth the different in sound. IMHO

I have a tenor version, which pocket is the best for the neck and headpiece?

Where does the neck go?

The only new mouthpieces that I didn’t have to send to a refacer was a PMS Germany Guardala MBI and a Jody Jazz Chicago-everything else had be sent in because of production flaws

is it made of the same ebonite of the ted klum ?

Wow

Man you sound great

What reed you recommend for this mp?

I got one, had a really harsh sand paper like sound. After awhile I was able to make it sound good

Thanks!

Really helpful comments on the reed choice and mouthpiece response and reed position. Also, as you said, looks aren’t everything especially on hand finished pieces. I want to see some slight file marks or tiny imperfection. I know a human worked it and played it. If it plays well, believe it :)

What ligature do You use? I have Vandoren Optimum and it dose not fit perfectly.

That would knock my socks off

Sorry to remind this but neither Joel nor Bob are mouthpiece makers. I have one RR when Falcon was making them, now who knows. Also the ligatures don’t work . On any of their mouthpieces. So Joel, please don’t put them in the boxes ! Get rovners or if this is too much for you,just sell the mouthpiece without a lig. Be fare to customers.

The ligatures never did really fit, for the price they sound pretty good, you make them sing bro

👏👏👏👏🎷🩵

Thanks , very helpful for me. Just tried one and really liked . Seriously thinking about it and planning to go and have another play on it

Hand hammered all the way.

Awesome playing on both the jazz and classical.

Track?

It’s outrageous for a defective mpc that costs $300. How is the detail precision on Vandoren V16 and Java?

This mouthpiece is the truth

me hiciste reir pense que hablabas de comida

How does the 6m compare to the meyer 6m in your opinion

The 5m sounds so amazing.. what's the ligature that your using? And have you tried the new V16 5 s+ ?

Paul, you sound great. Your reviews are really valuable because can play your ass off-so you dial into the piece from a place of virtuosity. And you know what you're going for, so, given that this piece, for example, might not be your thing you got it going and gave it a fair shake. Thanks so much!

Eddie Harris, Michael brecker played one with Horace Silver and a few others.

Years ago I studied with a guy who had studied with Steve Grossman. Every so often he would bring a different horn with him and ask Steve to check it out. No matter what he brought, Steve always sounded the same, didn’t matter if it was a Bundy student model with a stock mouthpiece or a Selmer Mark VI with a vintage Otto Link. Your body and concept of tone have much more to do with your sound than the gear.

Since I've been refacing mouthpieces, I just look for good link blanks at this point. They all need work for sure

I have it! very heavy, so not convenient to carry in the london tube !! and I'm sorry I got it , I can't return it , it stuck with me forever, no one wants this case, all I can try is give it for free to someone .

That track at the end…was that Ben Kono?

I have two New Yorker mouthpieces -- one for my 1949 SBA alto, and one for my 1955 MK VI alto. Killer mouthpieces!
