Start Playing the Soprano Saxophone | Thomann MK II Handmade Soprano Saxophone

[@olaflangness2907]

All I ever hear from other music KZbinrs is how the Soprano saxophone is too difficult and should be avoided until you have several years of playing another saxophone. Explaining some of the things you need to be aware of when beginning on the soprano saxophone makes it a lot less intimidating. Thank you for this excellent presentation.

I started on Soprano and i had no difficulties at all

[@nick_kumar]

I know right..I was just watching this guy telling 5 things to consider before attempting to buy a soprano and I'm like why!?!?!!! Why ?! And then I saw this video and your comment

[@aaliyah_thesaxophonist]

Very informative. I have recently switched to soprano but most of the times I am feling as if my soprano is not tuned. Your video will surely help me......regards Aaliyah from India

I always wanted to play the Soprano sax with I was young. When I was 11 I asked my band director and he said you will do better with a Tenor. I am now 53 and I have played Tenor every since I known how how to play sax . I have played Alto as well and some Baritone. I feel Tenor is more dramatic and a feel good instrument. But I thinking on trying Soprano. I hope the myth is not true about it being the hardest of all saxophone. But I believe a bit of practice with over time you can achieve the sound you're looking for. I eventually will have set of saxophones in my collection.

[@randomguy-dy3uy]

Lol simp

[@BigParadox]

Here is some useful information regarding playing in tune: When you put the mouthpiece onto the sax then the note height is affected by how much you slide the mouthpiece in or out. This is common knowledge. But what many don't know is that it also affects the intonation. So there is a certain mouthpiece position where the tuning is good, and there is a certain position where the intonation is good. On a well built instrument these two positions coincide.

[@saxcellaneous1275]

What is the lick she is playing at the end of the video?

[@srenjrgensen4512]

Before you go out and buy a soprano saxophone just rember this. Becourse of the small mouthpiece your jaw will start to hurt after long playing and as well your arms due to the position even when you use a neck strap.

[@EtkoPetko-tr4db]

What saxophone is appropriate for a complete begginers ,does this made in China has some fabrique issues?

[@robertalexander2478]

Which mouthpiece are you using?

[@313MattyMo]

Use this gospel!?! Mind completely blown… did ye sample this or did she just happen to play that song???? Either way 🥶🥶🥶

[@squirrel3310]

Soprano saxophone so easy to play... (especially for a sax player) Horn ( so difficult, hard to play)

[@騎士浪漫]

👍👍👍😊😊🥰🥰

[@deborahreyner6189]

What song is that!!? Can you share the notes?

[@kevinwayne8696]

It’s called Use This Gospel by Kanye West. She was playing Kenny G’s part on the song at the end when he has a solo

[@kazijahid495]

How much supranu

[@espr7564]

Intonation on some notes 😟

[@anonet78]

It's not the sax that's out of tune it's the person playing it.

[@holgerruntschke1441]

My personal opinion: Thomann's own brand is a cheap product from Asia. You hear it and you see it. No timbre, no substance, no soul. A cheap product from the Far East, made of cheap materials and also poorly processed. The horns leave the Thomann warehouse in the same condition as they were delivered from the factory in the Far East. Even the visit to the local woodwind instrument manufacturer for a review is a total economic loss. I don't know what Thomann paid the lady for that video. I would have been embarrassed, and I would have thankfully declined the assignment. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

[@alexandrailieva]

Dear Mr. Runtschke, I’d like to thank you for leaving the comment and sharing your Humble opinion on this horn, or Thomann’s horn in general. This video is navigated and focused a bit more on what a Beginner player can start with if they have a certain budget for buying a brand new instrument. As you said it yourself, you get what you see and hear. So I’d clarify that as a very individual choice. Btw, I’m not embarrassed at all, on the contrary, exploring different brands of horns, it’s quite a journey! Take care! x

[@ThomannMusic]
