Have you tried the Jody pieces on Tenor? If so, which one do you prefer for Tenor, the DV or the Superjet? Thanks for the awesome video!! :)

Hi Randal, can you tell me what tipopenig you have on the Beechler?

Super demonstration/explanation 😀

@8:45 The problem with f key adjustment

I got it finally!!! Gonna keep practicing 😤

Hey Randal, well thought out lesson. As someone who hates having to change setups for various styles. How much do you think you can get away with playing classical music on a jazz setup by adjusting your sound concept. Every time I try to use a classical setup the sound just feels so small it messes with my head. Cheers, Bruce

Hi Randal, another great sounding demo! Surprisingly different sound from the these MPs. The Gaia has a lot more pop, like a bright Phil Woods thing. The Brahma has a really full core and is a bit muted in the tops, an interesting sound. I can’t help think in any kind of mix the Gaia would sit better. I have played Theo’s new tenor Brahma and that would seem a little different to the alto version. Cheers matey, Bruce

what reed?

It was a fantastic lesson. If you have the time for altissimo lip position when playing jazz, it would be greatly useful.

Lovin' it! The unblinking stare is unnerving though.

We are WUSIC from Singapore and did a cover of his hits on UA-cam 2 years ago and this is our tribute to the late David Sanborn.

Almost thought it was David Sanborn

I also play on this mouthpiece. I really like it.

Thank you🎉

With good headphone or full range speakers the sanborn smokes the other two. The other two would need eq to sound their best. That Sanborn is right on. Just give some warm reverb and your gold. Frankly I think the Sanborn is the best sound you've gotten. Next would be the JJ Super Jet. Both are great but the Super Jet rolls off a bit on you. Still great just not that top sparkle the Sanborn gets. I would have liked to hear you on a Durga 8 with Java red 2.5 reeds. The durga 7 is a .080 tip and smaller then you are used to. Was a bit stuffy or could have been nice

Very great video! I could clearly hear the differences. I'm partial to the Contemporary and Studio Jazz. Which would you say is the closest competitor to your Beechler? I feel like it might be the Studio. Both sound like versatile, middle of the road, metal pieces

Hello, can you make video- lesson about subtone ?

Took me a full minute to realise this was indeed not about imitating a saxophone with your voice. Ah well ^^ (I know what voicings are, I just wasn't looking for videos on real saxophones)

Cual número está probando master??

Absolute great i have one too 😀 Please let me know which reeds have you used? You sound absolute great... 👏👏 How do you compare this to the drake studio jazz? It sounds a bit similar on the rexording?

Great!!! A mix between Beechler Bellite and ARB

Wow excellent as usual. I follow your channel and l have learned a lot from you. Thank you Dr Randall

Hi randal, you sound really good!! Hoping that i can produce sound like you with my own beechler

Great lesson 😊

had to chuckle where you preface your attempt to demo a split 'A' with a disclaimer it's hard to do it there compared to altissimo. i can't seem to NOT split that A. I spent an hour earlier today doing very little except trying to not split that A. I haven't even attempted altissimo yet, can't growl to save my life, never realised split tones were a thing people did deliberately, but I'm the king of splitting that A, so that's nice for me I guess

Thanks for the comparison..a question that came to my mind os how to not get deaf wihen playing such powerful sounds? (Considering that earplugs do hinder the ability to really feel the sound)

Studio Jazz has more body Sanborn is very bright and a bit thin Studio Jazz sounds like a saxophone

Great comparison. Thank you for this.

David Sanborn is fire!

👍🏼 Sanborn

Super Jet 7 ❤

I can’t whistle

Hi there, does anyone know if the Beechler Bellite alto are compatible with the optimum ligatures of Vandoren size soprano?

Amazing. Beautiful tone

Hey brother do you think the Durga can be an all around piece. Can you do straight ahead without sounding too aversive and bright? I know for contemporary is great but I don’t know if it would pass as a straight ahead jazz piece without causing stress. Hahahaha

Hi Randal, great demo on all these mouth pieces. Recording quality is excellent, I like the dry but not too dry approach. In terms of resistance and easy of playing which did you get along with the most? Are you looking for a new setup for yourself? Interesting the Drake really did sound the most "Sanborn" . Thanks for putting this up, great playing, especially in this edgy alto thing. Cheers, Bruce

Would you do a split tone video for tenor?

Thank you ! I thought it was the same as growl for 20 years , now I am clear

Silverstein ligatures are some of the best on the market by far but they come at a hefty premium as well.. regardless, in a side by side comparison, you can definitely tell that the Silversteins allow your sound more of those overtones and what not. However, like you mentioned, a listener is not gonna be able to tell on any given day what ligature you are using. I have the Cryo and I love how much it opens up the sound on my soprano. My sound is definitely bigger and more vivid. It feels easier to play as well, with lesser effort than say my optimum ligature. So it is definitely true that this ligature makes a difference to the player :)

With my Bellite, the bite plate needs replaced due to deep teeth marks. Is that something that is swappable? Or maybe know a material I could use to fill the indentation? I’m now using a bite plate on top, but I can still feel the indentation. Also, what are your thoughts about the “vintage” modern Bellites (90’s and before) vs the current line-up of Bellites? It seems people don’t feel the new ones are quite the same.

You are master Randal, great sound on everyone mpcs.🙂🎷

Durga HR7

Drake David Sanborn for me.. teh best of the test

What are your thoughts on the Super Jet vs the Beechler? I’ve played a Bellite Custom 6 for almost 20 years and love it but wanted to try something new. I just picked up a Super Jet to try out. I like the Vandoren Jumbo Java but it was maybe a little stuffy in the mids and a tad buzzy. I’m sure it’s more based on its relationship with my horn than the actual MP (Buffet Expression Alto; naturally lends itself darker) I also picked up a dark piece in the HR* Custom Dark to try something completely different and it’s pretty amazing, unique tone and can push it pretty good when you kindly ask it to 😀 Great video! Thank you for this! 🙏

If you’re going high baffle, go all the way! I totally prefer the sound of the Super Jet. No compromises.

You sound amazing in any of them. For you, which one is the most versatile? And which one is the least resistant? Greetings with respect and admiration from Bogota Colombia 🎷🔥

Love your sound !!

They are all nice sounding mp‘s. Except of the Drake i tested them all in a personal shootout at Thomann. I decided to buy the Mindi Abair II. For me this mp was the most versatile one. Nice Video - Thank you

Which Reed do you use ?

I love the sound of Drake David Sanborn 🤩🔥
