Groove'n with the Alto Bamboo Sax

[@nickspowers7526]

I love the bamboo sax. That first sound effect was very impressive.

[@joydipmandalcasiolover9926]

From where u buy this?

[@bamboosaxeswebshop]

It's quite amazing how these instruments sound. Erik, you're a true inspiration!

[@freedfogaca]

"The new old is the new new" Man, I'm really your fan!

[@rachaelarmstrong5781]

Im from England. One of your alto sax turned up in a job lot of instruments at an auction. My music directors husband bought this job lot, nobody could get a note out of it( playing it wrong) so they handed it to me (use to play clarinet) I first adjusted the reed, what a sweet note just love playing it. Went in the search engine on internet and found you and recognised the art work. Now I know what it is snd what it can do, such fun, especially in church. Thank you for making such a beautiful instrument.

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

Hi Rachel, be sure to use a tenor 1 1/2 reed. Great story! Glad it had a happy ending. God bless! Erik

[@jonathanchable8683]

What a sound. It's awesome

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Wow that sax sounds amazing!

[@SassyTesla]

[@reinheart4634]

I love the tone of your bamboo sax sir it's really good

[@tonystanley7877]

I cant remember the last time I enjoyed watching/listening to such natural talent combined with a wicked sense of humour . As a carpenter I have nothing but admiration for your talents as a craftsman in wood. I,m not a believer in God ,BUT if there is one , he certainly blessed you with talent in your hands and your Tongue

[@jeeplife2035]

Beautiful flutes beautiful sax from the master maker himself

[@GeoffreyWhitehead]

What a "Master" Flute Maker & Player, just outstanding sound, what a range. You are not limited for style or range, Thank You Erik The Flute Maker...

[@andrewfinley459]

I love mine it was a birthday present from my then girlfriend it was the last one made in 09 it is amazing the sound and the carving on it the entire instrument is top quality

[@andrewfinley459]

Feodora Sera Casey no I haven’t , the sax actually recently split and I’d been thinking about getting another one of his instruments.

[@fish3313]

It sounds like a clarinet! So amazing!

Respect and so much happiness to found you on KZbin. Greetings from Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Bambu Jaya Jaya. ✌😃✌😃✌

*_Erik, you are the soul of the bamboo._* Do you have a video that compares the sounds of the Bamboo Sax with the All-Terrain Sax? I love my Tenor AT Sax, but I would like to see if getting a bamboo would change my sound options.

[@VisionaryModule]

This is the best video on KZbin. subscribed

[@ronaldivan9267]

This man is amazing

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

Hi Sitar Knight: It can play in Major, Minor and Pentatonic, get the growl and bend notes. The limitation is it's one octave. That said, is it lots much fun. Anything above an octave is free. Tutorial and availability at erik the flutemaker . com Regards, Erik

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

Gracias! un abrazo, Erik

[@BlackWarriorLures]

I used to play professionally. In fact my Selmer Series III alto is sitting in the corner. One of the reasons I don't play anymore is because of a bad back. Your unit seems light weight. If you don't mind, why a tenor reed on an alto mouthpiece? Question: Can you play bebop on that thing?

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

After much experimentation it is the easiest and best sounding reed. Regards, Erik

[@danielcuadernal6647]

Hi sir how much your bamboo saxophone I would like to know about it right now I purchase little sax but the problem I dont exactly how to use it I'm still wondering how to play it the way you used it just pm sir from social media account from fb thanks daniel cuadernal from the philippines.

[@SH1974]

@Black Warrior Lures: The Yamaha YAS280 Students Sax is a well built Saxophone that weighs just about 3 pounds. Okay, it's not a Selmer, but it certainly sounds better than ANY OTHER saxophone that just sitts in the corner... ;)

[@BlackWarriorLures]

@@SH1974 Na, I switched to modular synthesizers

[@user-ty8me4hm1w]

A nice portable sax for car trips and camping

[@webbleswobble4099]

Me ha llegado al alma la melodía de fondo, me podría indicar ¿cual es el nombre de esa melodía?, se lo agradecería, excelente músico Erick. 🙏

Absolutely 🥰

[@noelp.j8266]

Super sirr 👍👍

[@morillo-be7cj]

simplemente espectacular!! amigo mio soy de venezuela y quisiera saber como hago para tener uno??? es un instrumento espectacular!!!

[@harperreese7466]

Very cool

[@fiodorsazonov8991]

Where there any effects use on the sound? it feels like there's some reverb added or something similar

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

Sure thing.

[@Alovatololo]

I wonder how easy it is to go from a sax to this and vice versa.

[@tristinaugs]

I live up in Canada and unfortunately the bamboo warped because of the cold and now it doesn't sound like it did when I first got it. But it was totally worth it 😊

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

What instrument was it? Most of my bamboo has some bending and that does not effest the sound. Erik

[@tristinaugs]

Erik The Flutemaker it was an alto sax, the wood curves to the left near the top of the sax and the inside went from circular to an oval. But I will definately get another one when I have extra money to spend 🙂

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

Interesting. It should not effet the sound. Erik

[@tristinaugs]

Erik The Flutemaker I can mail it to you or send you a video of how it sounds

[@jimsimmons4263]

Do use sound enhancement device

[@iksdk]

Wow nice play on that mutant flute 👍

[@ciroalfonzo5375]

hello as I can do to get one of your instruments???? are for sale or are custom??? I'm from Venezuela and I admire your work ..............., ....... you're a genius, Greetings

[@nethyartist]

Hi folks. I really like my All Terrain Mini Sax and owned one for a few years but can not achieve such a mellow tone as Erik. Wrong reed maybe? Can anyone suggest how I can improve the tone?

[@funkybass127]

Can the mouth piece on these be changed once purchased? I played sax for well over 12 years and would love to order 1 of each and use some of my personal favorite mouth pieces, thanks in advance.

[@ohhramona2092]

How get this! 😍😍

[@BeyondTheMind007]

Hi Erik, We meet again, how do you get that excellent reverb?

[@quoth_raven]

[@tonemay8241]

erik, why did you stop making all those other flutes you use to?

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

All our prices are on our website at erik the flutemaker . com regards, Erik

[@lucindayu2541]

Wow it sounds really good, my first impression. But how long can it last, not getting mouldy? When the Bamboo Sax changes the tone seasonally, how is it going to be fixed?

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

I played my 1991 model today. Sounded great. Erik

[@tomhogan6906]

Hi I'm Norman. Yes, you are really tops. How do I purchase the mouth piece only?

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

The mouthpiece is an Alto sax mouthpiece and I use a tenor 1 1/2 reed. Erik

[@kidcyd]

I have a question about the bamboo saxophone, does the packaging come with two mouthpieces, one like a normal saxophone and the other like the recorder.

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

It comes with one mouthpiece and we give an extra reed. So it comes with 2 reeds. But one mouthpiece.

[@TheJgssd]

Erik ! I really liked the Paquito di Rivera sound you have blown out of your simple Bamboo Alto sax. Please tell me how many octaves these bamboo saxes can play .Are they tuned in Eb ?.P.S. I'm from Rio de Janeiro/Brazil.

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

Oba Jose: My Bb can also play in Eb and C minor. You can play in Major, Minor and Pentatonic, bend notes and get the growl of the sax. The one limitation is its one octave. Wish it was two. Erik

[@costaricaphotos]

Where can I buy a cocobolo saxophone ? I would love to have in Eb or Bb ;)

[@BeugenNinja]

Do your prices include shipping. I live in Croatia, will $200 get the all terrain alto sax all the way from your to my hands?

[@brycecream007]

He does on request

[@NathalieBernard]

wouaw I really love this sound !! Do you have soprano bamboo sax ? and do you send or sell in France ?

¿Dònde puedo comprar un sax soprano y un alto de los que tù haces?.............Soy de Mèxico.

[@Majki95PL]

Hey Erik, What's the difference between concert Sax and non-concert?

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

Concert tuned is the universal standard of tuning. Called A440. When the note A vibrates at 440 vibrations per second. To make this I need to get my shop between 68 and 72 degrees, warm the instrument to 98 degrees and every note needs to be dead on or a tiny bit bright on an electronic meter. The ones that come out too bright or too low are tuned to themselves and are non concert. Good for playing alone. Musicians like them in tune with the world. As it is more work, it cost more for concert quality. You can also look at the "concert tuned" name and think the instrument is tuned to play in a concert. Regards, Erik

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

The back hole must be closed when playing. And when needed,it is the high DO. As in 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'. It would be the second note in the song. All holes open is high Do. All closed is low DO. Erik

Another question, how do you hum while playing?

Just start humming. the throat starts vibrating.

[@JoelSasFlutes]

hi erick, i am more than interested in buying a sax..I just have one minor question, can the sax be played in 2 octaves or thirds octaves or you need an additional sax for those high pitches

[@Skaul]

I'd really like an answer to this aswell

[@ErikTheFlutemakerCom]

Hi Joe: Like mentioned above it is a one octave instrument. I wish it was more. It can play in major, minor and pentatonic. Can play sharps and flats by covering half a hole and get the growl of a sax. Regards, erik

Honestamenteno se como guiarte. Pero el sax que se vende mas es de este video. Para tocar con otros mejor el Si Bemol, osea Bb o B Flat.
