The World's LIGHTEST Modern Saxophone!?

[@ChadLefkowitzBrown]

You sound so good on the horn bro! So glad you’re digging it!!

[@jacksmith8758]

Bro Chad you’re the best if you’re ever doing another concert in SLC let me know

[@brentnichols3071]

Chad's out there putting Horseheads on the map even if fans don't know or care! We didn't know each other since i was a freshman when you were a senior but people always ask me if I know you. Your playing inspires me to be a better tuba player in my own lane.

[@Pizza-jm9df]

Make one for bari

I gotta say, every saxalogic upload truly feels like a gift

[@Sam_Burger]

Agreed

[@bostonsaxshop]

Thanks Nathan!!! So fun hanging with you! 👍 ❤ 🎷

8:50 Yoooooo that moment was golden lmao

[@andrewmaloney6038]

Maybe it’s just a thing with Mark VIs, but since I got my Balanced Action and have been playing it for the last three months or so, I really haven’t experienced any notable issues with intonation. I spent many hours on my previous horn, an Eastman 52nd Street, shedding long tones and working on my ear so that I could play really well in tune, so it’s possible that I’ve been compensating and not really thinking about it or noticing, but I don’t feel like I’m doing much differently or working any harder from an intonation standpoint. To my ear, the BA has a soft, sweet quality that reminds me of Paul Desmond and Lee Konitz, two major sound inspirations for me, and just has that something special going on. This is not a knock on modern horns either, I love my Eastman as well! I just haven’t experienced the intonation struggle that many people refer to with the vintage Selmers.

[@cyschmidtslc]

Hey Nathan, really great demo. Chad was here last week and sounded fantastic on the Nexus and so do you. I want one! Good luck on your tour. Come teach jazzGym once in a while. Love and much respect. ❤️😎🎷 Cy in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

It’s always a good day when Saxologic posts!

Hey bro, just watched yall last night in Houston at White Oak. Yall killed it! It was nice meeting yall. Excited to see yalls musical journey.

[@christophbrylka6256]

Check out a King Super 20. The are very light and resonate so well that you can hear the sound in your fingers.

[@ferruccioveglio8090]

They tell it in the video, you didn't lissen carefully enough at 6:50

[@benhostetler268]

I’m glad you like it but there has been pretty rough review from a reputable repair tech source in Great Britain I regards to the build quality of the Tenor specifically. I’m sure they play really well since it’s a SA80II design but I am concerned about build quality especially with some of the weight cutting on the horns. Like on the tenor it doesn’t have a neck brace and that just weakens the integrity of the neck. Again I’m sure they play great but I am worried about how they’ll play in 4-5 years from purchase.

[@Duckless-hh8bd]

Always great to see when you drop a new video!

[@christopherherrmann921]

The 'couch monolouge'... that was way to hilarious .

Awwwwww, I do love these horns and think I will have to get one.

UPDATE ON MY JAZZ BAND AUDITION. thabks to you I MADE IT IN AS AN ALTERNATE

[@Valentinkmusic]

Is there a bari coming up by Nexus by any chance? 😃

[@LiamAnderson-kw7mp]

yessir as always its never a bad day when nathan uploads

[@ThomAvella]

yeah, the whole debate over what material/lacquer/etc a horn is made of strikes me as being our own version of the "tone wood" debate with guitars. ultimately it's best to not get concerned about that and just play some long tones, lol/

[@MTB_2311]

Hi nathan, love ur vids! keep it up!

[@sebastiansprotte2551]

@saxologic Hey man! you´re talking about you´re keys being noise on the markvi 9:24 . well, a technician once told me that you should regularily oil your key action. since then i´m doing it and i have no problem with noisy keys. they also feel silky smooth ;) and you also can put key levers on your palm keys, a lot of people do it. For the intonation in the higher register: i had the experience, that its not entirely dependend on the horn, the markvi´s have some areas, where they tend to be a little flat or sharp, but yours just sounds like it isn´t properly adjusted. you need to see a good technician for that, since its really uncommon that mark vi´s go sharp in the upper register. A good technician should be able to fix that! greetings from a fellow sax player ✌

[@LukeDoorMan]

Id love to see you play a nexus bari when/if they make one!

[@ericwaters8141]

i had to do do some modifications to my 6 to make it funtional, it would have been nice to buy one without having to make all those fixes lol

[@jrgenhernborg5624]

Hey Nathan! I have som tips with your Mark VI problems. I recently bought a Mark VI Alto from the citys concert band, I bought it for 150$. when I sent it to overhaul, I asked the repair technician to put on cork on the palm keys to get them closer to my fingers, and that worked perfect. when it comes to the Biss key problem, I just changed pearls on that one and it got better, I don't know if this will work for you but it did for me. My Mark VI has som minimal intonation issues in the higher register, but to fix that, I am just opening my moth as If I was playing classical, it comes out much cleaner and smother theree. with the Front F Key sliding, I just don't slide, I play side keys when I cant slide to front f, and that was just something I had to get used to! hope you can find this helping!

[@EdgarByars]

yes sir

[@Sue20022010]

[@jjktrn26]

does anyone know if Nexus is good for classical playing?

[@MarioGodoyMusic]

Probably not ideal for most classical players. Classical players gravitate toward heavier, darker instruments. That said, with the right mouthpiece and reed combo you can get a decent classical sound on almost any sax.

[@Labriction]

Try Kessler and sons alto sax please

[@benimarolicaru182]

Hi Nathan can i please ask you how much it weighs in kg ?

[@supashbhat1416]

One of these days a sax will fly away in a gust of wind lol

[@cxcccccc-f6y]

Edit: nvm there was a paid sponsorship label in the start of the video I love this channel, but this video ruba me the wrong way. Nathan is now a CEO of a company run by Chad LB, and now he's a sponsored musician by a Saxophone brand also owned by Chad LB. I can believe they are great horns, but this all just is a bit iffy to me. This is basically a paid ad.... On a side note, i greatly preferred Chad's sound on the Mark VI with the Syos mouthpiece.

[@j.r.1210]

Yes, it IS an advertisement. However, a disclosure does appear at the beginning of the video: "Includes paid promotion."

[@khyrand]

No high F-sharp key?!

[@j.r.1210]

Obviously sacrificed in the interest of weight reduction and an old-timey vibe, but the omission is a deal-breaker for me. Dropping the high F# basically says, "Niche horn!" That's fine; nothing wrong with catering to a particular niche. But it's not a sax for everyone.

[@fluteluc1]

You are a beautiful freak! lovely video.

Does weight really mean anything?

[@Zypholink]

Yeah? Have you not seen their video explaining design choices?

[@orzanoap]

I know but I feel like it’s a jumbo jumbo type thing. You can’t say because a saxophone is lighter that it sounds better than a slightly heavier one.

[@orzanoap]

Mumbo jumbo

[@Zypholink]

@@orzanoap The more material that the sound has to travel through the Less resonance and quality of sound there will be

That sounds good but I don’t think its accurate in all cases.

Good afternoon bro l am glad you are one of us who finally realised that Mark vi are overrated and overpriced horns.

[@tanksama27]

[@bruhspenning]

I really can't understand the appeal of playing a lighter horn, I have had some bad experiences with cheap Taiwanese instruments being made of too light material (Buffet Crampon) where the keys snake open after a couple of months, thus making you your techs best customer. Since then I have moved on to better instruments, and I play a really heavy tenor from Adolphe Sax & Cie (small independent Belgian brand) and everything is just fuller with the same overtones.
