Always on my mind - Aquilasax C-Melody - Lebayle 9 Studio

[@apistosig4173]

I have come back to revist this and find myself no less enamoured - absolutely astonishing

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Thanks for your comment. It's been a long time since I played that 🙂

[@madmarsupial]

Even with this C-Mel I can recognise it's you playing Michael, from all those videos of you playing lots of tenors and mouthpieces from all different eras and countries. A real reminder of how much of the characteristic sound comes from the player, when they're a good one.

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Wow! You just made my day.

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Well, I try to make them sound like I hear it in my head ;-)

[@HonestSaxSound-unEdited-]

Greatest C melody player and most versatile saxophonist in the world!! Congrats!!

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Thx Cristian for your appreciation. Obrigado😉

[@johnharpdalton7766]

That horn sounds great, and lovely playing. Thanks.

[@Raiders969]

This is why they are called C "Melodies"... you are doing great things with this horn!

[@BryceWells-b3f]

Very Nice!

[@dr.parthabanerjee2982]

I keep on getting mesmerized with your renditions. Yes mesmerized is the word.

[@peterstewart9983]

That was absolutely beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

That means a lot to me. Thanks Peter.

[@MrRbuxton]

Wow, that is great! I love the C

[@danielroth5805]

Immer wieder ein Seelenerlebnis wie du das spielst. Das kommt wirklich tief unten bei mir an!! Große Freude!!! Danke!

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Vielen Dank, Daniel. Das weiß ich sehr zu schätzen :-)

[@RoninGroupUK]

So beautiful. What a great player

[@jjjjdive]

쵝오!!!!~~~

[@leofrancoismaheurobert2138]

simply amazing

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Thanks 🙂

[@CarlyWaarly]

Nice work, like Lebayle mouthpieces they give a great tone and that slight growl, cool!

[@wilsomuse]

Beautiful full sound. Thank you.

[@MrRbuxton]

I find a lot of inspiration from your work. As an old newbie 2+years on saxophone journey, 71years of age, I have a C, Tenor, Bari. I very much like your "Crazy" I too am working on that have a ways to go. I'm also working on "Ashokan Farewell" found it on my octave mandolin tabs search, learned how to transpose to F so it would fit on my horn. I would love to hear you play it as it's a very good fiddle tune that sounds very nice on horns, I would love to hear what you would do with it. Thanks again for you inspiration.

[@lesg24]

Excellent, My late Grampa used to play a C Melody. This definitely brings back fond memories

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

So true - the C-Mel does not deserve to be forgotten.

[@DavidWilliams-vl1mm]

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS !!♥♥

[@ikerob9794]

Man that was awesome, you made me want to go and take Sax lessons again, seriously.

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Thanks! Makes me glad to read that you feel like playing again ;-)

[@aarondminnick]

Gorgeous subtone, wonderful playing!

[@Happyhonker2]

beautiful and on a #4 reed!!!

[@thomasdegobbidjsax]

thanks for your videos.. I can feel your real passion.. thanks

[@oliverarceo2004]

Dammm Mr Mike can really play

[@seanhammond4034]

Love it

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Thanks Sean 🙂

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Hi Sammy, thanks for your warm appreciation. Meyer 8 is a fine mouthpiece, no doubt. If it should be a little more typical for tenor you should perhaps try a Berg Larsen 120/2 or so. I also find the Jumbo Java Vandorens very good mouthpieces concerning the variety of colors you can get out of these. And last but not not least: The Rico Metalites are always worth a try. Hope this is helpful for you. Mike

[@ds5dmokook]

Wonderful tone!!!!!Great...I wanna be like you..Michael!!

[@albertobertsax]

Qué bonito sonido amigo

[@saxophonandmore2357]

besser gehts nicht....ich ziehe meinen hut...einfach nur geil gespielt....

[@adakosamuel]

Very helpful Mike, and much appreciated. Thanks again.

[@MrAndifink]

Ich liebe es, wie du spielst! Spiele selbst erst seit einem Jahr und seit einem Monat auf einen C-Melody, aber du bist mein Vorbild. Weiter so!

[@AmiltonAlima]

Show

[@laurafranco7408]

Beautiful, beautiful sounds... Happy Holidays!

[@michaelroos426]

Hallo Michael, Deinen Saxsound erkenne ich nach mittlerweile sicherlich 35Jahren immer noch. Bin jetzt selber auf's Sax spielen gekommen (seit 3 Wochen 😂 Sopransax) Hättest Du mir nicht früher klarmachen können, wieviel Bock dieses Instrument macht? Alles Liebe, Michael Roos (ehemals der Pflüger Mike)

[@CarmenGarcia-xb4pd]

Eres la luz y la musica en mi vida.

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Gracias Carmen, gracias!

[@diegallitzens6854]

wow, ist das mit viel Gefühl gespielt!

[@Blackhatsax55]

Very nice, good sound

[@veronicakilpin8231]

This solo made me tear up Michael, for all of us there is someone in our lives, that have left for reasons not done intentionally like death, my fathers face came to me when you began to play this piece, it's amazing how music can bring memories to one, your playing is phenomenal so inspiring thank you :)

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Thank you so much Veronica. That's what music is all about - emotions. And a musician has to be thankful if he reaches peoples minds and hearts.

[@BPeter-dv4di]

Beautiful sound! I'd love to buy such a C-Melody...I wonder why they stopped producing them...btw. is it a Lebayle 9 Tenor or Alto mouthpiece? Thx for your reply...

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Hi, thx for the comment, appreciate it ;-) It's a tenor mouthpiece.

[@jpjohny3102]

Fantastic stuff wish the world cold be the same old good days keep the good work going cho☺😃

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Thanks man, really appreciate this.

[@abcdariojack]

You have an amazing way to considerate!

[@miltonfarias1223]

Música lindíssima! Execução, timbre, sonoridade... igualmente lindos!!

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Obrigado, Milton 😉

[@Leebm29]

@Raiders969 Yes and he does great things with all his horns, especially the vibratosax

[@_homi-cz6my]

Apurva, meaning Beautiful in Bengali

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Thank you my friend.

[@timcason3479]

Do you have any of your recordings available? I play C melody, soprano and tenor and I started following you tonight as I discovered you playing the Bari, which I am looking into purchasing one in the next few weeks or so. I was looking for someone that I could model my sound after. I've had this sound in my head for a long time and when I heard you play tonight... I thought, I think thats it... the sound that I've been looking for! So thank you for posting these videos. If you have CD's I would love to know! Beautiful just beautiful! Awesome!

[@vb4876]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

🙂🙂🙂

[@mohammedabukhamis9098]

Wow! That was magical i insanely enjoyed ur playing am a brand new player thinking of Alto? Wht do u think of Tenor or C starters, any luck? Thanks :)

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

I would go for a tenor - but then I'm mostly a tenor player ;-). IMHO more flexible as the alto. C-Melody occupies more or less only a niche.

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Gute Idee :-)

[@alainlaurentsax]

👋👋👋👋👋

[@adakosamuel]

Hi Mike, lots of respects for what u are doing with those horns. I wonder if you can help me with my OPUS Tenor horn to sound like a proper tenor sax. i need to know what mouthpiece or reed will give me the proper tenor sound. I currently have a Meyer medium tip opening 8 metal mouthpiece metal. Your professional response will be highly appreciated Mike. Thanks alot. Sammy.

[@DRALLENTEH]

where can i order a Aquilasax C-Melody saxophone???

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Afaik they are out of business. But Thomann in Germany still offers C-Melody horns which I believe are nearly the same technically.

[@macdeclair]

Perfekt !! Super Klang. Spielst du das c melody mit einem Alt oder Tenormundstück? Gruss Wigbert

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

Hi, have already considered it ;-) Type Harlem Nocturne and Vibratosax and you will find it.

[@tjshuley3836]

HI would you consider Harlem nocturne Thanks......TJ

[@BBHRalle]

A Killer Amazing Grace Version ?

[@MichaelAusserbauer]

You name it :-)

[@BBHRalle]

[@BBHRalle]

Hi, jeeep das ist feeling, würde gerne mal n Video mit Dir zusammen machen....Harp meets Sax Gruß Ralf

[@michaellang2570]

[@MichaelAusserbauer]
