I LOVE how happy you always are

Great lesson, new to playing Soprano Sax. Yes, it's difficult but I just love the sound the sax can produce. I am retired so I have plenty of time to practice. I also use Roland Aerophone 10 as an additional practice instrument. I'll be seriously interested in purchasing your training course if there is some focus on the Soprano. Just in time KZbin. I'll get my new Soprano tomorrow. Thank you, Jeremey.

Great video! 6 millions of beginner sax videos and none, none, none talk about tuning!

[@esiri65]

That was phenomenal thank you very much I feel so encouraged

[@LeoNovel]

Great lesson and right in time as I'm progressing through my SaxTuition Beginner course! Happy new year Jeremey and THANK YOU for always informative content!!! ♥️

[@francistaylor5097]

Great video, thanks. I'm going to play with a tuner as I am having big tuning problems on soprano. I was naive to think that being a competent clarinet and tenor player I'd be OK. Big mistake!!

[@vipinled4591]

Thank U sir💖💛💚💙💜✊

Very Interesting voice of this guy

[@rayonghardware]

Thank I do referent from C (to match Bb for Tenor), and it always make me confuse when it come to other note. I will try your technique to transpose at tuner.

[@thegamingtaco6283]

do you have any tips for getting low notes out on soparno, I've been having some trouble especially with the lower octave E and D

[@jamieduong6799]

Really great video that you produced. Love your voice and your steady pace of speaking. I am recently struggled with tuning on my saxophone. I have a 1952 Conn 10m and a vintage Berg Larsen in the 60s. The saxophone was really sharp and I tried to pull it out but it didn't really work. I have to bend the note in order to make the notes in tune which I don't think it's natural to do so. I even put on some tape on the cork to make the net fatter so it won't wobble much with the mouthpiece but it wasn't solving. The funny thing is when I play on a Yamaha 32s, the tuning works fine and I don't have to fix my embouchure to bend a note. Do you think some vintage horns have issue with tuning? Thanks man

[@siningwow]

It may be the mouthpiece; I have seen posts where the players of vintage saxophones pulled the neck out slightly. Let me know what you did in the end. I have had the same problem and am working on it.

Do my eyebrows have to move like his?

[@glitchgatsby4290]

I keep hearing lately that I should tune moreso with my larynx. Is it one of those things were the truth is a little of both, or is there another mid-step of nuance between here and there? Even as I pose the question, I'm imagining it's something where you should develop control of both by doing each in isolation, and then follow a certain balance once it's actually under command.

I am not able to find Cleartune Tuner App in the App list to download

[@LetsGoGolfing721]

Hey man, I live in bali and I have an open plan house, the temperatures here are 20 in the morning but around 30 in the afternoon, (this is in celsius) my room has an air conditioner that turns on from 7 P.M. to 7 A.M. and the temperature in those times are about 17-20, and when the air conditioner is off, the room is about 27 degrees, where do I put my saxophone? With the air conditioner or not?

[@glitchgatsby4290]

Saw that nobody answered this, and I'm sure you found a solution, but a saxophone should be ok up to 40deg celsius. I would keep it out of the case if there's not a humidity issue, but I imagine there is, so get large boveda humidity packs and make sure your case is as airtight as possible. Make sure your saxophone is well swabbed after each time you play it so there's no remaining moisutre, and put it in the case in the coolest part of your house, out of any sunlight, and you should be fine. You can also put a digital humidistat that connects to your smart phone in the case, and monitor temperature and humidity for further peace of mind. Happy sax'ing

[@bobleckiejr]

What are the tuner settings you’re using? Is it set to A or Bb

[@SaxTuition]

Hi Robert! You should set the transposition to Eb for alto / baritone saxophones and Bb for tenor / soprano saxophones 👍

[@bobleckiejr]

@@SaxTuition Thanks I should have used the app before I asked it’s so obvious. Mpc-make and facing for soprano? Bob

[@romandiaz1660]

i cant find the cleartune on google play whats the name for it

[@liammcfalda9037]

Does that mean that you could search for tenor music then play it on soprano

[@dereknelson9089]

Yes however make sure the tenor music doesn’t go really anything past high a or g because it sounds terrible if you do

[@PonchMuniz]

I’ve noticed when I change necks, the intonation completely changes!

[@SaxTuition]

Yes I’ve noticed that on my soprano too - good thing to be aware of! 😉

[@WotBlitzWorld]

This should have been lesson 1

[@drlegendre]

All saxophone players and their instruments should be rounded up and permanently relocated to NYC.
