The NEW Backun TM Vocalise Mouthpiece

[@nickpilgrim1966]

Wonderful video. Amazing to listen to some classical sax on the channel ... I'll be checking out more of Tim's work. Fantastic.

[@overthetarget9401]

Good stuff. Love Tim's playing.

[@jimmymiller6068]

Interesting to hear a classical player talk about mouthpieces in the way a jazz player would.

[@txsphere]

Tim's performance of the John Adam's Alto sax concerto at the proms is available here on KZbin.

Backun has a good youtube, mostly about clarinet stuff, but Eddie Daniels is often on their old videos giving great advice.

I like it, this will be my next mouthpiece

[@scottziegler4238]

For this bassoon player who teaches and plays saxophone (but who definitely shouldn't) the TM-2 is a great mouthpiece.

Timothy McAllister!!!!!

[@davidclaro152]

Amazing video, clinic, and playing.

[@SaxInstructor]

Noce video, thank you! Is it 3d printed or handmade? Ebonite or plastic?

[@cilantro5221]

it is cnc machined, it is an ebonite/hard rubber mouthpiece, the finish on it is a 3d stitch finish, its only affect is on appearance.

[@Celica202]

So... Bach + vibrato... Really?

[@ianhart5816]

If Yo-Yo Ma does it, so can TMac.

[@TheSaxForge]

You seem like someone who needs to hear this: If Bach were alive today, he would be a jazz musician.

[@ZiSlepovitch]

A singular reason why not?

[@celadonk]

The way I see it, there’s no reason for a saxophone player to abide by standards of a time period in which the instrument didn’t exist. Vibrato has been standard pretty much throughout the lifetime of the classical saxophone. Timothy McAllister isn’t claiming to give a historically-accurate Bach performance… he’s just playing it according to his own tastes and the standards of the instrument, which I think is totally cool

[@ZiSlepovitch]

​@@celadonk All correct, my point is, there WAS vibrato in the baroque era and specifically Bach's music, although, for the most part, it was seen as an ornament rather than the mainstream way to play (on the strings or winds). This is a long discussion, and indeed, a valid question, as to how the instruments that did not exist then, but had direct predecessors (flute, oboe, bassoon) should be approached in performing music of a certain era and certain regional / composer style.
