//VLOG 4// High school sax setup vs now

[@SaxSpy]

I love watching your eye movement and accessing different parts of memory. Playing a vintie Selmer Mark VI tenor 79xxx, Flipping around on mpc'd and reeds. I'd love to get a KB Hand Hammered Copper Neck

[@jacknelson5891]

I tried the KB redwood. Was great for my intonation and slightly improved the fullness of my sound in the upper register. Ultimately I decided to opt for a Tino schucht neck. Not saying that it’s necessarily better, but certainly worth a try if you ever come across one.

[@freshlysqueezedaesthetics2942]

Can you do a video on articulation and how to articulate faster.

[@Samcatiscool]

Your playing is actually insane, dude...crisp articulation, big sound, great lines...damn.

[@maf9314]

My set up, Conn new wonder with a Gale companion mpc.

[@kadenn8811]

Love the Invitation intro brecker with UMO

[@lennoxmwita3244]

like honestly speaking ive never seen a lupifaro selmer pmauriat or julius keilwerth sax i just get to see them on youtube or tv

[@777leviandades]

Hey Ryan Great playing indeed...how can i get a pdf of your book,thanks

[@jazzmorgan859]

Current: Sa80 with a Berg Dream setup: 85k mark VI with a vintage guardala

[@brycebaliko7050]

Current- Yamaha 62iii with a Navarro Bob Mintzer 10* with mainly Java Green reeds but still searching around Dream- Silver SBA, not sure about the rest I'd also love to get a KB Sax hand hammered copper neck

[@sebastianroman1432]

Retro Revival Tru-Res Yanagisawa T991 Not sure on a dream setup, would have to try more horns/mouthpieces

[@greggrispart1807]

Dude you sound killer! I play an original Yamaha 875 with a Yamaha E1 neck and an Aaron Drake Contemporary I 8 tip with a ceramic chamber. Love it!!!!

[@josephstratemeier8619]

Current: Yamaha z silver jody jazz DV jazz select 3h unfiled on both alto and tenor. Dream: probably same tbh. I'd love to try those ishimori woodstone saxes or the vintage bronze yamahas. With a zillion dollar setup I know that I'd just still sound like me and have all the same hangups about my playing as I do now.

[@chrishiggins8387]

Current: SML Rev. D, Otto Link TE 7* Dream: SML Rev D, Ted Klum 7* You sound great on everything! Really like your sound on the Conn!

[@alexambroise111]

Duuuude THIS is how you sounded in high school? Man you were killing from the start!!!!

[@MrGuto]

Yeah, tha's why when I see where stablished great players like him started from, I loose all hope of ever catching up to them.

[@alexambroise111]

@@MrGuto Don't though!!! Coltrane had a late glow up, Charlie Parker had a cymbal thrown to him as a wake up call, etc. Lots of my local heroes in Montreal that I personally know have had college-age glow ups too. If you shut the world off and practice a few hours per day consistently, you can progress really fast. That's where a good teacher comes into play. Chad LB's stuff helped players go from eh to really good pretty darn fast.

[@scottyjackson6665]

First of all you sound awesome, you are an absolute assassin. Can you do a video on the most efficient way to practice and maybe a day to day routine to weekly, also goals we should try to focus on and how to self analyze? My current setup: I sold my alto S 80. Strictly tenor-I've got a King Super 20 silver Sonic with a old but non-vintage dukoff 7( always felt like I was fighting that setup but bought into the vintage hype). I'm currently in china for school and didn't want to risk the King 20 so I went to buy an Eastman 52, just felt chunky and kind of plain, ended up getting a MK 7 for less bread. A little clickety clackety but it felt like home, like A&W root beers and Hardees Ham and Swiss w/horsey sauce. lol I'm also playing on an SR Tech Dream Setup: SBA or maybe check out the Lupifaro

[@mattylambertmusic1389]

killing, keep up the vlogs, really helpful thanks!

[@ninrey19]

Jupiter yas-1100(I need a new horn but this one works for me) Meyer 7M ebonite And Rico jazz select filed reeds 3h I really love this setup, I really need a smaller tip mouthpiece to have more control of the tone color, but for now this is good

[@TheSupaflydre]

Current setup is an cannonball big bell unlaquered, with vandoren zz reeds, and either a Jody Jazz Giant 8* or a Jody Jazz DV 8* depending on the gig. Not too happy with my reeds these days, and would prefer to find a mouthpiece that can comfortably handle both my pop and straight ahead gigs.

[@mattgarcia5375]

Current - Yamaha 62 with Vandoren Jumbo Java T95 and Bass Clarinet Blue Box 3s Dream - Mark VI and same piece till I dont like the sound anymore lol.

[@Shira2]

Couf Superbad 1 with a new 7* NY Link refaced by Ed Zentera. I’d like a bit more sizzle in my sound for playing R & B. I was wondering why you didn’t go with the Seventh Ave South

[@vickynaul21]

Your amazing and so talented 💕😊🇵🇭 you will be successful and yeah this is great channel 🇵🇭💕😊

[@wcakgilleran]

Current: Cannonball Vintage Reserve Brute, Theo Wanne Slant Sig 2, BSS or Rigotti Gold Dream: SBA, BSS S-series 7*, Redwood KB neck

[@masonthomassax]

Yamaha unlacquered Z Theo Wanne Gaia 7* Totally happy with everything right now! Although I’d be curious to check out one of those RR Crescent pieces

[@santiagolopez9349]

I play a Yamaha custom EX with a vintage selmer soloist short shank dream horn is an SBA

[@MrGuto]

Is that a replacement neck? If so, what was wrong with the original Lupifaro one?

[@GrahameEasthope]

Great vlog Ryan. Really interesting stuff. My setup now is Ref 54 tenor. Retro Revival Florida Double Ring Link 7* with stock Link lig and Vandoren Java greens and sometimes reds. I know that you spent some time on the RR Florida Double Ring. Can I ask why you moved to the RR Crescent? Was there a specific reason or was it just a natural transition due to your relationship with RR? I love Links. I've got three (if you coun the RR facsimile), a vintage STM (which I changed the tip/facing from an 8* to a 7) and a new STM New York 7*. My ideal tenor setup tenor would be a Lupifaro or an Ishimori or a great 6. I've had my Ref54 for 5 years and it just seems to be getting better and better, although I don't know if that's me and my relationship with it, or the RR mcp which I love. Love your playing man.

[@davebrecker1]

Current: Student sax (Amati Kraslice) for 500$ 18 years ago with Berg Larsen ebonite mouthpiece Deam setup: Whatever I will have fun with. I have no idea yet what it could be :)

[@omiecrockett3630]

I would love to see a mouthpiece comparison

[@herbiehabato5483]

Current: Buescher Roller G#truetone Alto with dukoff silver plated #7 mp. Practice reeds= 2,5. Gig reeds= 1,5. Vandoren jazz reeds. Dream set up: Buescher Big B Alto, selmer c Shank mp modified to a #7 and a years worth of ol' school Rico jazz selects reeds, 2 med-filed..

[@freshlysqueezedaesthetics2942]

I don't know the brand of my tenor sax. (It's from school) Mouthpiece: JodyJazz Jet 6* Reeds: Vandoren Red 3 Ligature: Generic I'll upgrade sooner or later.

[@freshlysqueezedaesthetics2942]

I'm still exploring my sound and working on improving it. My setup is powerful but sometimes it's not loud enough for some reason. Also, when I'm playing openly without any music(written or played), I'm loud and I play better than if I'm playing a transcription or a solo. Could it be a mental thing or a embrochure issue? This could be another topic as well.

[@freshlysqueezedaesthetics2942]

Update: I got a rovner ligature so that's pretty cool..

[@penchev73]

What is that Yamaha neck???

[@gamalielsetiaji7887]

Current: YTS475-JJHR* DREAM: ramponecazzani duoface - ottolink
