Rigotti Gold Reed vs Rigotti Wild Reed Comparison

[@soulsax58]

Both sound good. The Wild is more pronounced and seem to project more. For a player like me that plays mostly with electric bands and wedding bands I think I'm going to give the Wilds a try after seeing this. I have always admired your musicianship and solid character as a person Quamon. You are the personification of Texas Tenor sir!

Ooh.....I love the sound of the Rigotti Wild. They sound punchier and brighter to me....maybe a little buzzy too. Thanks for doing a great demo

[@JeremyCarterSax]

I've been playing rigotti gold for a while now. Gotta try the Wilds. You sound great on them.

[@sitarnut]

Been following you a long time.. I'm a Texan as well.. went to NTSU with Billy Harper, "Blue" Lou Marini, Jim Riggs, great Sax player still teaching at NTSU I think... We would stand outside Harper's practice room and nearly pass out over the altered scales he ran...same with you Bro... still learning and playing... you are a Huge inspiration. The first clip I dug of you was, "I'll Remember April", an outside stage concert. You're a Bad, "Mamma Jamma"..... my friend, Kelly, had Kirk Whalum on his CD back in the 90's. Kirk is "Outta Sight" I like the mellow "Gold", since my heroes were Bird, Desmond and Getz, Benny Carter.....Peace Profound...

[@QuamonFowler]

Aww man! Thanks for the love! Yeah, the Gold is mellow! I come back to that one. The Wild is so easy to blow though. I can use both both different situations.

[@FedoraOutlierLLC]

I reached out for a purchase from Frank. I like your sound on the Gold only because I like I dark rich tenor sound and rarely do I play tenor bright.

[@bobblues1158]

I liked the Wild. But you´re the one playing the horn. Either way you sound REALLY GOOD!!!

[@QuamonFowler]

Haha, thanks!

[@kwamethver2.033]

Sounds great either way

[@jamesvivian2975]

Wow! I like that Wild!

[@QuamonFowler]

Yeah, it's a free blowing reed! It inspires me to really play!

[@eliottmorst]

i was shopping for reeds today and saw this video.....looking into the brand

[@andreasgilgenberg5588]

Thanks for the comparison, would be more helpful if you would have played the same things for both

[@torvarrisevans3961]

Nice bro , would you recommend the wild reeds for contemporary stuff and gospel gigs

[@QuamonFowler]

Yeah, depends on high bright you like to sound. The Gold is more mellow and warm for an intimate featured set. The Wild is for when you want to cut through a band on a big stage.

[@torvarrisevans3961]

@@QuamonFowler thank you bro

[@craigwinn5903]

I definitely prefer the Wild..its sound is more dramatic and nuanced. I believe that you could probably darken it up with your embouchure if needed. I just need to know how to purchase them..without ordering on the French site, or through Borgani in Italy.

[@QuamonFowler]

Frank Branch got me the Wild reeds.

[@hemanthkamana1886]

Q always sounds good 🤷‍♂️

[@alessandroaraujo9286]

Nice t shirt 🇧🇷

[@jazzmorgan859]

i like the wild, does it feel diffrent to play?

[@QuamonFowler]

The Wild definetly blows easier.

[@FedoraOutlierLLC]

Where did you find the wild read at?

[@mikestang679]

I like em' both, depends on the gig....

[@pneumasax]

Hey Q, you know where I lean...Gold. More depth and core. Sweeter sounding. Wild plays freer though.

[@QuamonFowler]

Yea, exactly!

[@QuamonFowler]

. I could mail it to you for about $42

[@eliottmorst2968]

Rigotti wild is the way to go

[@byf4ith]

The Wild Is so much better!!
