Candy Dulfer talks about her Free Wind alto saxophone

[@peevee605]

Dulfer is such a talented musician, it doesn't get any better than this.

[@francisturner1134]

Only found her last week but. I have learnt what I have been missing. Candy is fantastic. Never heard anyone play like she does. And I am 56. So I have heard afew. But nothing like Candy. You go Girl.

[@catsven1973]

I just love her since the first sight in the Lily’s clip..she’s amazing ! Full of life.

[@tlittle6539]

One of the best people playing sax. I love her unique style

[@ritahawkins7618]

Such big sounds come from that small frame. I love the sax as an instrument, it conveys the spirit of the player as if they were singing. Well done Candy, thank you👏👏👏💖

[@NGC205]

She's so beautiful, so talented, so skilled at her instrument, such a beautiful singing voice. Very few Candy Dulfers extant in any one lifetime.

[@Macch2275]

So true ❤

[@ikopin2807]

I love you,Candy !! Your music is always great!!!

[@kenparnell4297]

I got to see her live in person about five years ago now when she was touring the US with Dave Koz. Honestly, she is an amazing sax player, she is unbelievably pretty, and she has a stage presence that is like a rock star. I fell in love almost instantly.

[@marciagroh]

I love Candy Dulfer, one of the best female PLAYING SAX:

[@brucebarnes9138]

Long-time fan love your sound

[@nohabs15]

I found candy Dulfer about 10 years ago and have been a fan ever since then

[@secguy9659]

Beautiful music, and easy on the eyes.

[@johnferguson2039]

I played E flat alto for years. Love her. Very good. Great lady. Brilliantly talented.

[@bymyself9487]

Candy Really Enjoy your Playing Thank you 💙

[@jaywalking17]

The first time I heard(saw) this woman play was on MTV in the 80's. Lily was Here was the track and her playing the sax was just mind blowing. The tone, the intonation, the swing of smooth jazz mixed with a pop back rhythm. She was so great at such a young age then. She is still leading, way ahead at the forefront of saxophone.

[@joebhoyroo1253]

Total true. Nothing compares to you CANDY DULFER. A GENIUS. JUST.LIKE PRINCE R.I.P

[@joebhoyroo1253]

A PERFECTIONIST ALSO HER BAND.

[@pduffy421]

Love her, she is beautiful!

[@alonzokinchen1117]

I just love your music

[@michaelstratton6701]

So beautiful sounds

[@francoislepine4698]

25 years ago, Vancouver, the Commodore Ballroom. WONDERFUL NIGHT!

[@craigmccarrick3976]

I fell in love with Candy when I saw her with Pink Floyd in the 90's..if you haven't seen her on Crazy Diamond live-check her out for a real treat. She was only 21 at the time..amazing talent!! I am so glad to see her here on youtube with her older sax's. World Class talent and beauty.

[@TrevorColePAN]

I want to meet you some day, never have i listened to a woman play the Sax and make the notes sing the way you do. thank you

[@MrDUBIEL01]

i love her sound

[@KapitanBomba656]

we all know that you are the most beautiful! and the most talented! you are the golden saxophone of the world!

[@rudva]

Now I got it, is from the AmsterdamWinds... Wow!

[@Blueslicks321]

As a guitarist.. I cop a lot of sax players licks. I love her phrasing

[@stickom]

SOUND IS EVERYTHING. I am an amateur french horn player and I like brass airy sound she produces plus her musicianship, too bad she is not playing Mozart Concerto.... LOVE you CANDY!

[@JeremyMcCant]

Paul Calugaru Same here, I play guitar and saxophone and I'm always taking licks from other instruments and transposing them.

[@chriscasey1929]

I'm with you, I like to play my guitar along with David Sanborn recordings.

[@felipeandrade1156]

Beautiful!

[@alitekinklnc9931]

Soul feelings very beautiful. Thank you😎👍👍👍

[@saxmanjf]

Everyone always has Selmer blinders on because you've never played or really listened to other options. Go to the Mid-West Clinic or NAMM, play other manufacturers and discover what's out there. Respect to the Mark VI, but the price you pay when you can find one...there are other brand new less expensive options from other manufacturers that have come up with new & better designs and sounds. Ernie Watts (has videos on youtube about what he plays and why), Liebman (designed his own horn with Keilwerth), Mintzer (videos of him of what he switched to and why), Carter (plays everything mostly Conn and P.Mauriat). Most of these guys are at these shows/conventions, talk to them why they don't use their Mark VI's anymore. There are so many amazing options out there, play the instrument yourself, they are all at these conventions. You'd be amazed at what's available.

[@SausagefingersElias]

Excellent! Love her sound. Interestingly and way before this video was released, I bought my alto from Amsterdam Winds (approx 4 years ago). I don't believe they had their 'Free Wind' brand available back then but hey, for such a small, intimate outfit as Amsterdam Winds was back then, I came away a very happy man with my Raw, Unacquered Mauriat Alto complete with Fred LeBayle Metal Jazz chamber mouthpiece. Great people to do business with!! I would/may well go back there when I'm thinking of upgrading however, I'm finding my alto is such an easy sax to play and my LeBayle provides a tone not too dissimilar from Candy Dulfers. I'm a happy man, not looking to upgrade at this time! :D

[@jndrone]

which reeds on your lebayle #? please

[@dianabarradas9523]

I love the sound of Candy's sax, how can I know more about this sax? Like price and details.

[@Casinoceluapuestas]

sos una diosa del saxophone candy dulfer

[@1jantheman1]

Would like to know the set up on the mouth piece and reed.

[@barskuleli8612]

Simply, perfect....

[@fabrizioraggi3174]

Candy's sound is wonderful. What's set up using ? Good music and happy life!

[@saxmen4604]

I love you Candy😘🎷🌹

[@anrianka]

Guys can you tell me whats the mouthpiece?

[@johnfpotega2017]

Candy Dulfer could blow across the top of an empty soda bottle and make it sound great ! I can’t imagine learning to play the saxophone but she makes it look so easy; sounds great 😊!

[@susanchavez2405]

Love her accent. German? She's just fantastically fantastical as is her band. I don't know why it took me so long to find their music.

[@Grunn007]

Dutch.

[@erlandamos5655]

Love you Candy💕💕💕🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@gordonanderson3111]

THAT is one really great smooth sounding sax. I have been buying a few old Alto's, and a C melody, from the old Elkhart Indiana days - SOME of the tone is great yet they have so many quirks, honks in the low notes and clanks. Lots of room for improvement - it is great to see someone has taken on the challenge laid down so long ago. Do you add the corrosion I see, or is that extra?

[@rodneyjackson622]

The sound, Yes!!!!! like an artist with a paint brush. PLAY IT.

[@rodneyjackson622]

One tone make one sound.put it together with another you have a song. LOVE.

[@jimneely861]

This video was made 4 years ago... Candy is one my favorites, she sounds even better now days... as if she needed to improve from 4 years ago BUT I have a question, what mouthpiece and reed strength was she using in this video,,, the reed sounded a little to hard, probably an eight but I am guessing. Original question, what was this mouthpiece. Thanks.

[@FrancoCalio]

Fantastic..

[@Runner2]

Cany I love you so much. I never forget you :)

[@razarz9363]

great talent 👍

[@johnarmenta2199]

I would LOVE to be that saxophone!!

[@richardcasey7521]

Her Selmer Mk6 has an upper harmonic partials palette that the horn here doesn’t have. It sounds like a Yamaha which is a fine horn but also lacks that upper overtone palette that vintage Selmer’s have. I own an alto and tenor from both makers and have performed and recorded on both and have gone nuts comparing the two. I love the Yamaha’s because they are modern and simple to adjust, are powerful and have great intonation. But I keep returning to the Selmer’s because my ear just needs that rich overtone palette. I tried various necks and mouthpieces on the Yamaha to try and replicate the Selmer but have failed. I think Candy might not be aware of what’s missing. She plays wonderfully.

[@الأسدالجسور-ذ5ش]

Greatest sax player 👍

[@brunoafonsonhoniua491]

Beautiful

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

Wow Candy, you never disappoint lol

[@johnferguson2039]

All good but do you ever play a short goose neck. They are harder to play but the sound is great.

[@udo331]

Ich liebe Candy 🎷🎼😍🤗

[@64tada]

brava la bravura abbinata ala bellezza è ottimo. hai qualche base dei tuoi brani? grazie

[@bassofone1]

Did the mouthpiece come with it? If not, what kind of mouthpiece is that?

[@fabrizioraggi3174]

Tell me please, what sax set up use ( sax, chiver, mouthpiece, ligature and reed ). Thank you very much. Bye, bye Candy

[@ОлександрБурко]

Selmer Mark VI, Inderbienen FreeWind, mouthpiece - Lebayle Studio 8, reed - 2,5 :)

[@ОлександрБурко]

[@laurymonac]

I love herrr

[@sak079]

Anyone know what she is playing at 2.42 ? Seems like a tune rather her just improvising...

[@drumaddic1]

Beautiful! and the sax ain't bad either...

[@jesush.cristophe4065]

Is this better than a yamaha 82z?

[@ezebeats_]

i love her

[@billabbott6092]

What year is your "Free Wind" ? It looks very old and beaten up like a mid 50's MK VI or did they age it for you at the factory?

My has she aged, shame but there is none better..more gifted on the horn than she. Lily was indeed here.

[@998SBayliss]

Not as much as Sonny Rollins, albeit more than Charlie Parker.

[@pniiice]

998SBayliss or many many many many others.

[@SKingg754644]

Man she is super cool!

[@FABIANASAX]

Qual boquilha ela usa no vídeo?

[@rezzo0404]

hi, please tell me, What is this model saxophone? I'm a beginner musician and I have it : john packer jp041 alto. Is this good saxophone? Please tell me

[@henrymelbourne2265]

John Packer instruments can have pretty low quality mechanisms, but if you look after it (i.e make sure all the screws/pads aren't slipping, and don't knock or put the instrument down heavily) then it will serve you well for a few years. Intonation on them can be challenging too! If you have a local teacher then they should be able to put you in touch with woodwind repairman/workshop who will sort you out with good second hand instruments which is a better option usually to cheap internet bought instruments.

[@gojnscons7601]

can someone tell me if "romeo",brand saxophone is good???,i am beginner in saxophone and i only see romeo brand saxophone here in thailand😣😣😣😣

[@slide2657]

Why is the finish on the sax so shot? Looks like my old old Selmer which looks like hell.

[@Sethybeth]

Sold without lacquer, gives it a darker sound.

[@BiIIy2023]

***** Lacquer does not have any effect on sound, no matter how much you want to believe it does.

[@jeffsnowman]

jonathan mcvitriol ...wrong

[@BiIIy2023]

jeffsnowman Whatever you want to think, bud. Not all saxophones are created equal, so it's almost impossible to distinguish whether it's the lacquer or just the manufacturing quality.

[@jeffsnowman]

jonathan mcvitriol It's certainly a subtle difference, but it's not just an opinion, it's physics. Different metals vibrate at different frequencies, and an unlaquered horn vibrates with more resonance, as there's not additional material inhibiting it's vibration. It is, however, true that all saxophones are not created equal.

[@xavitrod5802]

Love !!

[@iqbalseput]

Damnnn i love it

[@TonyCarrollPassion4Motorsport]

oh shit""" that's ""HITTING THE SPOT""""woooo

[@jornadadeluz9986]

MARAVILHOSA!!!

[@rudva]

Then what brand and model you use?

[@juliawoodman7916]

yes, it's a fab sax, i thought it was handmade for her when i first listened to her

[@ProjectSax]

Whats that ballad

[@ArtBusker]

Deberias probar Yamaha 875 Custom EX !!!!

[@stevend984]

Candy has always been one of my favs...and she's all kinds of hot! I picked up sax a few years ago just after I wrote & recorded this tune. Now years later I have gotten a little better and am in the process of re-mixing & re-recording the horn parts on this tune. But for now this is the link to the original version I recorded back then: kzbin.info/www/bejne/el7SXmB7bq5_n8k

[@flowergirl1379]

As a female saxophonist, what lipstick does she use bc mine always comes off on my reeds😂😂

[@janellepeotter]

I had the same thought! LOL

[@johnmoyle4195]

Her reed is also covered in lipstick. 1:22

[@andersonferreira-cu8jz]

além de ser muito gata toca muito puro talento

[@sabrinaponnet6182]

I love saxophone that's not true with good and so and what makes you feel comfortable with that music

[@rRobertSmith]

I bet she could do the same interview in german also....just amazing...

[@biglift4365]

candy als je dit leest : welk mondstuk heb je daar op zitten ?

[@alebea2966]

Is it a lebayle studio metal o jazz metal?

[@saxjamin]

Thought she was on an Inderbinen for a long time.

MAN I LOVE THIS WOMEN .. what a great artist love her and her HERMES bracelet.. Great taste...

[@aaroningersoll3988]

She makes that Sax talk.

[@dreamyblue44]

Oh man, sounds great to me! :)

[@louissachsdds8018]

I have a Selmer Mark VII, which was an improvement over the Mark VI. I was wondering about the recent trend of lacquer-less saxophones I guess it improves the sound of these hand made instrumenrs

[@joshuahuff607]

Louis Sachs, DDS I'll jave to disagree on that Mark VII sentiment, I'd rather play on good VI any day of the week, no doubt.

[@louissachsdds8018]

I thought the mechanics of a Mark VI were loud. That is the reason I bought a Mark VII.

[@joshuahuff607]

Louis Sachs, DDS That's strange, I always that about the VII and that they were clunky. You may have tried a bad VI to a good VII, which is very possible.

[@joshuahuff607]

Louis Sachs, DDS I will say that some of the joints on the VI make a lot of noise if not taken care of and regularly oiled.

[@louissachsdds8018]

I got my Mark VII in March, 1976--early on in its production. The Mark VI's of that era were very noisy, mechanically.

[@loctite222ms]

Yea OK. I thought it looked a little odd in the other video I saw and doesn't sound quite like I expect from and alto. That explains it.

[@dragonballz4998]

I just wanna know what its like so one time is fine with me

[@frankfromupstateny3796]

That mouth piece alone is probably worth as much as your Selmer 6!

[@XavierJordanMusic]

Definitely not. It's just a Lebayle Studio 7

[@cedricjwilliams8425]

WOW!

[@cedricjwilliams8425]

This musician...plays so heavenly..i must..pay attention..to this.great God given...great learn and..hard at work practiced...lovely.. Talent seriously Mrs. Candy Dulfer ...i believe they enjoy your.....music..every where..play on young lady..for life..and death we need your love🙏 ALWAYS❤

[@MrMojoman1976]

Hard to believe she was playing sax for Prince at age 19.

[@pniiice]

I'd like to hear a recording of her that doesn't sound like her tone is shallow and empty.

[@esara6]

Candy Dulfer and Dave Koz should perform together on stage :)

[@jefffrey7825]

+Esara Herlis They do. She's performed with him several times over the years. She's also on The Dave Koz & Friends Christmas Tour this year as well....
