Fantastic tone!

i came back to bach after a bit of a break just studying 251s, and the parallel is undeniable.

You made me buy my allora 6 years ago still working well too ❤🙏🏾

👍🏻

I love how smooth your tone is and always blown away by your technical mastery!!

SHEESH!!!!!

Lol "mint-alyptus" I love these videos

Okay

I like the flow of the notes, I’m a bassist and look to incorporate that style into my playing melodies on bass.

What is your brand of mouthpiece and size you are playing

Always follow the band leader's changes.

SHEET MUSIC NOW

Amazing!

cool. I was just pointing this out to my kid: the tone has more edge than classical usually does, but it's kind of classical at the same time. I was calling it super contemporary jazz-influenced classical music. (the term is too long obviously....)

I actually find that most mouthpieces will be fairly similar with altissimo resistance no matter the baffle or chamber size but what really changes in mouthpiece is the flexibility in the tip opening for hitting each note at pitch So a smaller tip opening will have less flexibility in pitching down the note due to the really centered feel and facing resistance of closed pieces but with a larger piece you have more flexibility to really accentuate things like sub tone if you use that kind of style where as a closed piece makes sub toning less flexible but tight with more control but not as deep if you’re going for more of a focused center, bright tone I use both of them equally for different things, one is not better than the other but the sound stays the same 👍

Amazing video as always, thanks

That alternate fingering for G (high F# sharp key + B) works🤯

Thank you, Sir. Concerning that highest lick (sounds fun), was that a G (F5) + F# + D# + C?

😂

Thank You so much for your great video. They are obviously fine saxophones but my preference is in the rich sound of the Selmer. For me Selmer make the best saxophones! God bless you sir. Bill. Uk. 🎷🎷🎷

I cant even hear my own part in the score 😭

I found your video to be most interesting. Not from the standpoint of the performance of the mouthpiece but your observation that there seemed to be no consistency between mouthpieces of the one marque. In my over fifty two years of experience in the refurbishing of wood winds I have found this to be true.Not only with the inexpensive brands of mouthpieces but also with the highest priced brands. And not only with mouthpieces but also with saxophones of all brands and price ranges. Why this is so is something for the manufacturers t o research as the findings of such research could possibly result in consistency between units of the same manufactured lot. The point of this note is to request pictures of the mouthpiece featured in you video. For my analysis I would request that at least four orthographic exposures and as many oblique ones as convenient be kindly offered to me for which I most sincerely extend my thanks. The very best to you,Sir.

Loved the overall sound of the VI over the Supreme. To my ear, it was more vibrant. Then again, I play a 1954 Mark VI Alto.

Thank you! Great playing and review!

Thank you, sirvalorsax! My used YTS 62 PL came with a 5C and I wasn’t sure how that compared to the 4C I had on my briefly owned YAS 62 PL. love your playing as well…beautiful!

I’m slow and late to the party. Great job, man. Great site.

Hi I am new to the channel, Thanks for honest review. How is this number 7 , Is it softer and quieter than standart 7 ottolink? I have a Yanagisawa alto 5.But for me is quiet and soft and i want to buy this with number 7 or to go with higher number ?

Great lesson

You should be in cuffs for trying to put these two people on the same level. Bird was an innovator. Stitt was an imitator. Without Bird, Stitt would've imitated someone else.

Thanks for the best altissimo lesson I've ever had, Sirvalorsax.

To junior 🍷

Good day would like to ask you a few questions about mouthpieces...is there an email address I can use to contact you? thanks

Excellent!

I enjoyed the analysis. Personally I would not be able to tell any real difference. As a hobbyist, I have a Yamaha that I purchased used from a professional player.

Setup info pleaseeeee

Wow, beautiful tone

Excellent Video! Thank you very much Sir! Blessings

Valorsax, thank you for another great and useful lesson. I've also been using your video on Mister Magic to get better at that tune, and your thoughts really help. Could you possibly do a tutorial on Bobby Timmons' amazing, soulful "Moanin'?" It's such an amazing tune, with gospel, blues and jazz feels all mixed together, but that B section has all those non-diatonic-looking chords, I don't know how to approach them. I know you could find the key to this great song and pass it along.

Thats bossa nova

Thank you sir! I don’t know what came over me but I all of a sudden desired tenor so I went on and bought (this video made me less afraid of the hard work of the transition so thank you double) But I have an issue with high D I’m getting a flat sound but all of the others tones come out in tune Is there any known technical issues with this in tenor? Before I’ll go to the repair shop

Hey thanks so much for this. What is the easiest altissimo G on a horn with no F# key? My lowly YTS-23 wants to play the altisimo G. :) I am thinking maybe the middle F with side C fingering?

Rico 2.5 Bari on alto is my favourite. I find as a Bari player who started dabbling in alto recently it’s an easier with a big Bari reed giving it a more clean sound.

Espectacular como tocas y como suena! Me gustaria saber que kit usas ! Gracias y felicitaciones!

I bought a few Chinese metal mouthpieces and did a bit of customization. Be very careful when sanding, or you will take too much off. Just barely adjust if you think it needs it. My yibuy plays great without any adjustment. I think it sounds better than my vandoren T75.

Dangg, i love your tone

Thank you for that video and for not just trying to sell something. Also wanna say your knowledge and sound is incredible.

I’m rapidly beginning to think you may be the pedagogical sax presenter on UTube. Bravo for this particular example.👏🏽

How can I get those books?

Wow, so good.
