I stay with my VI.

Great playing Mark 6 has a clarity from high C through the palm keys that the other selmers are lacking Rampone is a great sounding horn but it really takes getting used to

I've owned a few dozen Olds horns over the years, and the ones I reach for most are a '51 "receiverless" Special, a 1946 Super Cornet and '47 Super trumpet and. They sound beautiful, and play effortlessly - like riding a good French or Italian steel bike frame that disappears beneath you.

I thought the 54 was the closest but I liked the 36 the best

... Also i know you can find your preferred sound Inn either modern or vintages.. They're just different as it's the playability

I've Sissy's liked the Custom Z.. Regardless of cost.. It has that bite i like.... Shock the Tamponi have and the Ref36.... The Mark 6 are i think over hyped... Become a babe 6 off computer girl enthusiasts. Like You're not a real player unless you have one heh... Has nothing to do with Howe good anyone is

Nice. How free blowing is the b40 lyre?

What size mouthpiece did Mr. Markey play in this video?

engagement: Playing a Yamaha Xeno 822g, I've finally found out why I struggle with the upper register. Something you know about, but I didn't. Yamaha lead pipes swallow non-Yamaha mouthpieces, even the Griego Markey mouthpieces (82, 85, 87 & 90) I have. I've had to resort to using tape at the end of the mouthpiece so that they only now insert 2.5 - 2.6cm into the lead pipe. Now I have much less problems with endurance and uniformity of sound up to high b-flat. The mouthpiece doesn't rock in the receiver. The only problem is, occasionally the tape comes off the mouthpiece and sticks in the lead pipe. If I don't notice this immediately, the next mouthpiece I insert, may shove the piece of tape down the pipe. I've had to take the instrument apart a couple of times and fished out bits of tape from even the valves. I'm tired of this, so am going to try out a Shires Custom and a Yamaha 835 (that doesn't have this problem anymore).

The couesnon has mojo

I began to get serious about playing in the early 1970's, about the time that the Selmer Mark VI was coming to the end of its production run. Most people were saying the quality and consistency of the late VI's was very questionable compared to earlier VI's. People were all saying that the reputation of Selmer had gone down and that was the reason for the introduction of the Mark VII's. Now everyone goes crazy for all Mark VI's but that was not always the case.

What a lovely video. You are a great inspiring teacher. I love your positive enthusiasm! God bless you. Bill. Uk

I don't know why people, especially professionals, always go to trumpets like Bach, Yamaha, or these other mass produced trumpets. There are lots of better built trumpets that will not only be easier to play, but also have much better intonation, response, sound, etc. I love my Performance trumpet built by Logan Thane Brown in combination with a Lotus mouthpiece. Honestly, compared to Bachs, Yamahas, Shires, and others I've tried, the Thane trumpets just blow them away and the price point is very similar!

Only Schilke !

Congrats Ben!

The E/D partial on those horns can be markedly flat. I loved my CG, I love my Kanstul Chicago, but unless there's a fast passage where the notes go by quickly, I use alternate fingerings for those notes. Resno-Tempered for life, baby!

What's pitty you didn't check Yanagisawa...

Pro sax players doing these demos is somewhat useless because as pros they intuitively make micro adjustments to their sound without thinking about it. Therefore the saxes sound more similar (and better) than if a non-pro was playing the horn. A lot of it comes down to resistance, resonance and ergonomics none of which can be heard on a video.

Newer horns are probably more consistent from one to another because if tighter tolerances held in modern manufacturing processes.

The main difference is that your 6 has no lacquer on it unlike most of the rest. The second is the alloy used. Listening on my phone. Reference horns seem like they should be reversed in name. They all are in some respects copies of the 6 including the the one with the silver bell. Definitely not a king sound.

Just got assigned the e flat clarinet part on Bartok miraculous mandarin wish me luck lol

My school has a Getzen that plays well on Easter Sunday… Hallelujah!

Alto saxophone 's are better than tenor saxophone 's....I said, more soft and sweet's music tones.....than ever

The 87 is lighter. How much difference is there in cup size?, Are there throat shenk differences? I've experienced using different shenk sizes to change the color of my tone without changing cup depth or rim diameter. I've also experienced that it's cheaper to change mouthpieces than the horn, not that I wouldn't love to have an array of different bones.

I love my Benge. The whole line was amazing. However im partial to my 6x Large Bore. Shes a pretty rare bird but no trumpet plays like her.

I always prefer vintage horns (let's say pre mid '80's), however, with vintage horns you run the risk of red rot, not always tho, but usually older horns will require a new MPC receiver and if there's a leak in the horn (if the horn is over 40+ years you can almost bank on the fact there will be), that requires a valve-refit.

Wow! That Custom Z is such a versatile and great sounding horn. I personally think the vintage thing is overkill and Mark 6 is way overpriced. At the end of the day the comparisons are nice, but it’s the player that makes the horn sound the way it does period. I’ve been around quite a few experienced players and they could pick up the cheapest horn, throw their mouthpiece and reed on and make it sound like the best horn in the room.

I’ve learned that the amount of mouthpiece gap (space between the end of the mouthpiece and lead pipe) can be a large part of liking a horn or not. Other things in the horn have to be present, but gap with your mouthpiece can be a big deal. I generally like a gap of .100” Too large of gap slots too hard, doesn’t allow me to adjust pitch as much, and the high range feels like smaller targets. Too small is too open, not as focused, and wears on my endurance, using my chops too much to center the notes. Years ago in a lesson, my teacher Charlie Geyer thought he was really “losing his chops” as he was getting older. He found out that he just wore down his mouthpiece receiver almost to no gap using the same Bach mouthpiece and same Bach C trumpet he purchased in the 70’s.

Umm…not really! Technology has gotten so much better!

Why is the fourth valve slide so far out? Not confidence inspiring.

Bom dia. Vc tem o site da vicent bach ?

I love the sound of Benge trumpets, they are light but they have tons of core and they have a beautiful ring to the sound. They light up so easy when pushed especially the CG models. Personally I liked the Burbank Benge because it’s slightly darker than the CG’s . The medium bore was too bright for my ears. Benge made great horns for many years and it’s a shame they were discontinued. They were extremely popular and still have a very loyal following. I own a Burbank 3x from 1957 and a mint condition Chicago 3x from 1952 they are beautiful horns.

HEY! THE YAMAHA CUSTOM Z HAS WAY BETTER SOUND OF RANGE THAN ALL BEFORE! IS MORE CRISP ON (E)- C 3& ALSO MORE PRECISE!! WITH GREATER INVENTIVE CAPABLE DEPTH!! ON (B)RANGE!!!...

WTF bRos! such a kickass hardcore Fusion sound with almost no views ....you gave me such a good vibe 👽 keep rocking with these experiments BTW where it was performed ? (somewhere in Australia i guess)

Tell us in what city and state your store is located.

They all sounded great. The differences were small and subject to individual taste.

Not impressed. Table could be uneven, Reed could be already flat. Best anyone can do is balance the bottom half that rest flat on mouthpiece.

All of the horns sounded good. The Ref 36 sounded really good.

What I appreciate so much about Mr. Markey is that his passion for teaching is so apparent in all his videos!

Great video! Huge thanks to Mr. Markey for his great technical advices! But also for his psychological thoughts!!

The 54 sounds dull and stuffy.

What's the name of the neck strap you use?

I honestly couldn't hear a difference but I don't think that's the point. It shouldn't change how you sound but should effect YOUR feel of the horn (exactly what you said). I bought one of those tablets that goes into the lyre hole on my Reference alto - it didn't change my sound but it did feel different.

Thanks for sharing the video with us!! Hello from Ukraine. I have an Olds special cornet all nickel silver. If you can share any information on it, would be much appreciated. About the year of manufacture and if the quality approx the same as older Olds special cornets with two-coloured finish. Thanks.

I think I am favoring the Series III. I am getting one for really good price, 2K less than a new Z. The brightness can be tamed down. It's more complex sounding and they have really good intonation

That demonstration was beautifully done , I could really hear the timber of each horn. Many people just play loud, fast and high when demonstrating different horns( more for their ego than the listener) I really like the Super Cornet and the Recording. They all sounded great but those two horns really appealed to my ears. Thank you for putting out a great demo video of the horns. They will sell fast!!!!

Nice alto sound 😊

What are the tip openings you played on?
