kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYe6gXuNitJnpsk The neck tenon on my new Selmer Supreme Tenor saxophone was defectively welded by the Selmer factory. The collar was improperly soldered and came completely loose. To have this repaired would damage the finish and result in severe cosmetic damage. Selmer has been aware of this defect since 10/24 and I’ve had zero response from them. No outreach; no apology; no concern for my ability to practice, rehearse, or perform. Update 11/7--Selmer is replacing the horn but it will take at least two weeks for the new horn to arrive. Still no apology for the inconvenience cased for a performing musician. Update 11/16--Still no replacement horn. Selmer has refused to expedite resolution and continues to seem unconcerned with their warranty responsibility.

Sax did not "invent" the "saxophone". In fact, his first demo instrument, which he presented at a French convention, was not the only instrument of its kind. That, and there were other versions of "reed ophicleides", the sound of some of which I prefer to this day. This is cheerleading, not an accurate historical account.

Quel virtuose avec comme il le dit lui même un contexte culturel très varié

Suono stupendo 😍

An amazing musician showing the love of his craft. Skill, dedication, love, and risk taking in one artist.

Excellent advice, from a well-rounded musician who clearly has lots of curiosity and motivation to challenge himself constantly.

Russian musicians the best

I have one but not Selmer

Klang bazun

Thank you. The Series2 is a terrific saxophone. A great sound. Great playing. God bless you. Bill. Uk. 🎷🎷🎷

If enough clarinetists find this video, there's likely to be quite a bit of arguing in the comments! (Marcellus's Mozart "boring?" Oh boy...)

🥰Very interesting and informative video! ❤🎷♬ Thank you..👍

It seems to me that playing a saxophone is about more than the sound everyone hears. For me it’s about how it sounds to me and how makes it me feel; it’s what I play for and if that’s a good feeling then I’ll most likely play better as a result. I have an old sax that makes me feel good because I’m playing a bit of history. I also have a new sax that makes me feel good because it takes care of intonation and frees my mind up to think about how I’m playing. This guy likely sounds good on any sax, but I’ll bet there is just a subset of them that makes him feel good too. I’m not quite so cynical that a good player will take a contract purely based on the money - after all, you have to play it day in, day out…

Really interesting thoughts from a fantastic player. It's encouraging to know that he's so open-minded about what can constitute a "good" sound, and that he is influenced by musicians whom one wouldn't necessarily expect to hear a classical saxophonist talking about..

Play loud, play proud! Yes! As a long time player of the Eb Clarinet, you need to feel comfortable being heard!

Armenian sound player

Siiiiii!! Bravissimi

PRICE! too much....

I love this video and your playing of the Recital Clarinet, although I believe it has been replaced by the Muse. Wishing you every success with t new model! I love the B flat and A. Recital clarinets for there unique sound. Best wishes to you and Selmer. Bill. Uk

Fabulous Looking forward and Ian sure I shall be getting my students to look at it. Your clarinets are so beautifully made. I love the way you give great thought and design to all your products. I have been playing the Focus mouthpiece recently, which suits my playing at present God bless you all at Selmer’s. Bill. U

How do you know if this resin in the evolution clarinet is going to last? This resin will probably dissolve with solvents like acetone. I don't think this will work.

J 'étais au cnsm avec Stephane dans le big band dirigé par Francois Jeanneau et Stéphane agé alors de 17 ans avait déjà une oreille précise une mémoire incroyable et jouait d'à peu près tout les instruments...avec de plus une grande modestie et beaucoup d humilité...tout cela s'entend dans son son merveilleux!

Je me souviens d’avoir joué avec lui avec l’orchestre de La Sorbonne, il y a peut-être plus de 10 ans, et j’avais été impressionné par sa sonorité justement, je n’ai jamais entendu un saxophoniste avec un son aussi riche, aussi profond, aussi facile !

Magnifique son au soprano, bravo !

en tout cas merci d'être passé au conservatoire de Limeil avec le trio, c'étais impressionnant, j'ai beaucoup appris et apprécié la masterclass !

Stéphane est aussi un excellent clarinettiste. Dommage qu'il n'en parle pas...

I have a C soprano but it’s an ORSI Milano. I don’t know if that would be relevant

Великолепная Ася.

Super !!

Expédiez-vous au Mexique ?

Thank you for your lovely video and for your enthusiasm for the sound of The Presence I have a love of Selmer clarinets and saxophones. I also play other French and English clarinets too. Looking forward to trying your model. Selmer also make very good mouthpieces too. Looking forward to hearing other videos. God bless you. Bill. Uk 🎶

Thank you Doug for collecting, organizing and providing information upon request.

honor to Benny Golson, a giant of the sax and composition, this is my little tribute to him kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKquk6d_ds-CfMUsi=K8Ky4fXOd5CmGCsP

The depth of sound comes from the Instrument correct. The most important aspect of the mouthpiece in my opinion is intonation,intonation and intonation. I played on a well in tune clarinet but the mouthpiece I tried made the throat tones super flat.

Totalement d'accord : avec un Selmer, on ne se soucie plus de régler sa note, car on a juste à écouter son âme jouer !

Que se puede hacer con un saxofón tenor de mal a calidad de procedencia chinA A los señores de selmer Paris

9:34 I don't know about those places but in Greece, orchestra leaders have their preferred individuals predetermined to win the auditions however they play and auditions become just for typical reasons, believe It or not. That's the unfortunate truth. Nothing else counts really.

prefer my silver plate series ll tenor over the supremes i tried

Lots of nice talk but look at the massive neck screw on the soprano. He just lost all credibility

prefer my silver plate s80 ll than the supreme

Still IMO better than Series III and Supreme

Gran sonido!!!!

Nice job on this tenor. Sounds great...

SELMER n'est plus ce que c'était. Radio Improved, Balanced Tone, Centered Tone, Serie 9,Serie 10 Et pour moi la meilleure, SELMER Serie 10S. SELMER n'est plus que l'ombre d'elle même. Du tout et du n'importe quoi. Artys, Odessa ect... Depuis la Série 10 S ll tout est parti en cacahuète. Tous les modèles ne sont que des prototypes mal finis.

We're going from bad to worse. 20th century was way better.

Lovely sentiments.

Thank You for your beautiful playing. Yes Selmer make great horns. God bletyou Marcus. By. Uk

Thank you for your lovely playing and comments. I love to hear or hear about the players of the past. Last year I was able to purchase a pair of Recital clarinets which had belonged to Dame Thea King , thegreat British clarinettist My teacher as a boy had been the late James Joseph of The Northern Sinfonia. He in turn had been a pupil of Dame Thea. As you say it is important to remember those from the past. We have many influences in our lives and musical lives. Thank you for your wonderful playing and you have influenced me to get the music for the Ben Haim Quintet. Thank you God bless you Sir. Bill. Uk 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇬🇧

I went to elementary through high school one grade behind Chris. He wss always an amazing player. So glad he has had such success, well deserved!
