Oh, your experience with the sequence of playing soprano and alto exactly mirrors mine. I always practice my soprano first, then alto, and I find it really helps my alto playing, but oddly, not the other way around. My soprano is now in the shop and I miss it. :( Please make an oboe video. Military bands are amazing. I just saw a President's Own Marine Band concert when they came to our local university last week. You would also be an amazing teacher, or anything else that you would like to do. Love your videos and hope the semester/term goes great for you!

Sorry about the grammar in my question dude 😅 Thanks for the advice though!

That’s me

First

were you able to listen to my recordings?

i just submitted mine, please give as much advice or tips or anything to help me. tysm i like the vids

are u still giving feedback from video recordings?

ITS BARI SAX NOT BASS SAX

theres a bass everything

Bass saxophone is exceptional, especially in Classical music, and in Jazz. Especially especially ESpecially in Block chord solis. I will elaborate on that, by classical music, I mean good classical music. Anything from Christmas scores, to historically known compositions. You have to take the Bass seriously, that's one of the most important features to playing it more often, other people see it as a silly side piece. But hearing it in Jupiter years ago really piqued/🗻 my interest. I'd gladly compose a ensemble piece for Sopranino, Soprano, 2 Altos, 2 Tenors, 2 Baris, and a Bass. It adds that missing layer that Baritone sometimes lacks in...I mean it's an octave below Tenor which is incredible.

This year for Christmas, I want a Tenor or Bari sax, they are both cool but I play the Alto sax. Bari sax is in same key, but requires more air and may come with a Low A key. Tenor sax is tuned in Bb, not Eb. But it has a powerful and rich sound. Both of these require more air than the Alto sax. Venn Diagram lol.

I've been playing flute for 12 years now, and ordered my first saxophone today, i hope it wont be that hard to switch to sax

i can play brass and sax but flute is pretty much no go for me... its really hard

i really wanna hear the bari part to bemba colora on this

You've made a lot of progress since the first time around! I am so looking forward to your oboe videos! :) My main instrument in school was clarinet, but I had to pick up the oboe because one of our oboe players graduated. It certainly is a different beast, with the embouchure, resistance, etc. I picked up saxophone much later in life as my retirement present, and oddly or not, I found it the most difficult to learn with respect to embouchure and air support, as I kept wanting to default back to a clarinet embouchure (no double lip influence from the oboe, thank goodness!) Best of luck!

The flute is not for everyone, kid. It's also the easiest instrument. (Saxophone main here as well) Did you know the flute improves saxophone skills?

After playing flute for 10 years, I can confidently say that all the problems you had never really go away...I still have to think about where I'm placing the flute on my face, and the middle register between F on top of the staff and the D above that is probably the hardest register to get a consistent and beautiful tone on. Don't even get me started on 3rd octave technique... Overall you've made a lot of great progress in just 6 weeks, and I'm super excited to see how oboe goes for you

I just have an Oboe Reed and I just Played in it for No reason. One Day me friend who Played oboe let me borrow his instrument and in less than a minute I played the concert Bb Scale. Oboe and Sax are Insanly Simillar and You will have tonnes of fun.

during you practice session where you just doing some methods stuff or were you playing a piece of music, if so what is that piece called? thank you loved the video might look into buying a wrist saver.

My 7th grade year i played alto sax, and my 8th grade year i switched to bari sax, and my 9th grade year i ended up playing tenor sax for marching and alto for concery, sadly my school doesnt have a soprano Saxophone or bass saxophone but if they did i would totally play it!

I just submitted Mine. Could You make more Bari Sax Videos? I don't think you have posted many, but you have mentioned that you play it in some videos.

can i send one friday?

I just submitted mine

Awesome man!

Amazing tone

Have to make a full video

Damn that sounds good!

I just got a brand new low C bass clarinet, so I know exactly what you're talking about. It's like your eyeballs are vibrating!

Cool to see that sax again. I remember being assigned it my freshman year from Dr. Page, and then I ended up continuing to play that thing for the next 5 years.

I think the second one is best❤

TONY! We used to have him in Michigan!

I actually had more trouble with clarinet than flute…and we are still battling 50+ years later😊

Such a funny video. I laughed during the whole thing. It sounds like a ship finding its way through the fog. Sounds really cool through my sub.

Try the tuba before you say it uses a lot of air 😂

I'm learning tenor right now with the intention to transition to bass eventually. Subscribed! I want to see how you progress with this thing.

Candide?

I been playing for 3 years im getting there for Army

One of the best tones I've ever heard on sax. Beautiful

How long have you been playing

You’re pretty good

the goat posted- love watching these!

🔥🔥

Thanks for this king 👑

One website I found said typically $35,000. For that saxophone. If you break it, ouch

Is it personal or do you get room mate

Bro is a pro at editing and sax but only has 638 subs?

First I learned clarinet, then sax, then flute, then oboe, then bassoon. That’s just my woodwinds. Best order I think possible to learn the woodwinds.

Selmer basses are more like big bari saxes compared to large bore Conn or Buescher basses. I've got a Chinese (JinBao) SA80II copy bass from Gear4Music which is a tenth of the cost of an SA80II and plays very well considering. The same Chinese basses are sold for a lot more than the £2400 I got mine for, so shop wisely instead of paying in excess of $8000 for the exactly same thing. I have to use the palm/high D key for a clean middle D, but MusicMedic have experimented and invented a fully automatic triple vent 8ve mechanism with a designated 8ve vent for a clear middle D without having to use special fingerings for that note.
