Happy Birthday Andrew 🎉

Just got one a week ago! first soprano having come from an alto and I couldn't have asked for a better horn

I have a 62 02, european name. With a Meyer HR mpc and a filed 2.5 reed you forgot to go to sleep !

I’ve had my 480 for a few years now, and I was faced with whether I wanted to buy a custom neck or upgrade the horn. After trying a few options, including both the 62 and 82z, I determined the horn I had was fine, and I ended up with a te1 neck, and it plays like a dream. YMMV, but I couldn’t justify paying $5,000 for an upgraded horn when the improvements are so minor.

I am from india. I am using Yamaha 26 china made copy.good one for beginners

the tuning is making me go crazy

What mouthpiece did you say you used?

What type of neck does the YAS 875 EX come with?

Do you think you could review the reversed leadpipe version of this model?

as soon as the man starts playing I hear a poor intonation, like something's wrong. Well, there is. I checked the tuning and it's about 50% low. Like a quarter of a tone off on the lower side. No instrument can be judged like this, very unprofessional. I've seen it before with professional players posting demos. Pay attention guys!

good to see there is classical saxophone made nowadays.

Buffet is a saxophone I've had in my collection since 1981 of various models. I would say that all the ones i've had demonstrate the same overriding design principles, which are to be mellow, rich, with great intonation. This would be the number one go-to for playing a non-solo part in a band. I've never been able to make one of these "scream" of any model or year of Buffet, but I've obviously not owned all of them (I do own this particular Buffet 400). My personal take on these is that they align with what I've read about the original intentions for the saxophone by Adophe Sax, and they do that better than all others in my opinion. I do think they are a different animal than most other saxophones in that respect. Being made in China or Taiwan as an issue, I'll only say that horns are made according to the design principles of a designer, and sound accordingly. I wouldn't draw connections between a buffet and cheaply made horns from the same region, because my experience is that the cheapness of those amazon horns doesn't spread like a virus due to geographic proximity, and also that you are kidding yourself if you think your <4k Selmer was made in Paris :P . In that price range, I think you can debatably do better, and definitely do much worse.

Comprei um 62 III ha 1 ano. Na sua opiniao qual tudel ficaria melhor o V1 o G1???

Yts 62s purple logo’ so good

I saw you at NAMM!!

Ex!

62!

Also have a Purple Logo, with a V1 gold laquered and a silver plated G1 Neck, Sounds awesome🤩

Just get a purple logo 62 it plays just as good as an 82Z

82 Z . So versatile. My horn for last 10 plus years.

There's no such thing as Selmer USA! They've been out of business several years now...well over 6 months. That horn you're demoing is made in Taiwan.

I’m an advanced violinist, is this still a good violin for me?

Hi! I was wondering, did this instrument replace the TS44? This is what I was told, but looking for info from a more reliable source. Thanks!

I rented an SAS411 after playing ONLY “professional” saxophones for decades. My take is that the “intermediate” SAS411 is outstanding. I sound better (more professional in recordings and live) on it than on any alto I’ve played before. This includes my saxes that I previously owned, including Selmer Mark VI, Buescher 400 TH&C, Dave Guardala, The Martin Committee III, Ishimori Woodstone, etc. Perhaps it is the construction and body tube, or more likely the concept that as an intermediate instrument, I can really buy in to the function of this as an instrument made to facilitate my improvement, versus being an instrument that is made to display my artistry. Somehow this approach has helped me reinvent my embouchure from scratch (after decades of wrongness, pain, and inefficiency) while remaining rock steady as an instrument, reliable, and beautiful.

Maybe you can help me? For some reason I actually am more proficient at playing the soprano sax more so than the tenor. I have difficulty playing the tenor more than the soprano. Why is this?

Long latency with midi but good for pads that don't require attack. Otherwise I love mine

Saxophone journey: Yamaha YTS-280, Yamaha 4C, Otto Link Tone Edge 7* (completely out of my comfort zone and a not very wise purchase!), Selmer Ref 36 sax, Selmer S90 180, Theo Wanne Gaia 4 HR 6*, Theo Wanne Durga 7, Selmer Series 3 Soprano (recent purchase and learning to play properly), Selmer Concept mouthpiece.

Your demo was a Jupiter Sax

I had a pair of black nickel, alto and tenor. They were screamin’ demons. Tenor was stolen and I sold my alto. Now have a pair of vintage Martin Committee III horns. No comparison for Martin horns.

Talking about price point for any new sax is silly they’re all going to depreciate the question is how much Yamaha is about 30-40% Yanagisawa 30% and Selmer is about 15-20%. Just buy used and try these horns just because Joe Smoe likes it, doesn’t mean you will. An 82ZII is not a large bore sax Like a Conn, King, Keilwerth, it’s a Selmer style bore. I like these horns but I do find that Yamaha all sound the same for the most part.

I think you’re a really good tenor player, I like alot of jazz myself. I subscribed to your channel

I own one, got second hand for $900 and I think it's great! I didn't realise that my cheap as entry level alto was so cheaply made until I played the Buffet Tenor Series 400, it has an amazingly tight feeling to it

I had a student several years ago with a 400 alto. One cool thing was that they fixed the intonation of third space C# and fourth line D so they were in tune. But the problem was that the rest of their class was playing horns with the usual flat C# and sharp D. so then the kid with the Buffet was the one that sounded grossly out of tune because they didn't have the usual pitch problems.I felt bad for the kiddo because they were actually progressing well for a beginner, but the "improved tuning" was really making playing with the group a nightmare

My nine year old was gifted a Yamaha tenor sax, but it's too big for him and is over 30 years old and needs a tune-up. This looks like a great sax.

Let's Go Bucs!

I understand that the Axos alto is essentially Series II body with series III neck. Is the body or neck of the tenor version based on series II or III?

Sounds like a lot of money for tenors that's made in China

Just got hold of a YAS-62 mk1 . Yamaha tell me its just over 22 years old but looks in show room condition, amazing. Just had the pads adjusted, sounds great. Moving up from a YAS-280

Always liked the 82zé875....and while souind is subjective e.g. what sounds good--i always feel éhear that the Yamahaès hae that 'bite, that to me ' makes a sax sound like a sax SHULDÈ. Even if different people might be looking for a defferent sound qualitiey. Also like the Selmer SBA,Ref 36, King Super 20, Conn 10, Keilwerths SX90...but wit hte CustomZ...no matter what mouthpieceéreed was used...i alway hear that 'bite' ...'texture' ....i like and prefer....I thik Clarence Clemons liked Kingès and Keilwerths..though he did have a Selmer a well..heh...who doesnèt rightÉ :)) (not me) ....also love the ramponi & Cazonni Two Voices tenor...

What about the Theo wanne Durga 5 mouth piece I have it so will it work good with this bari

The 62 tenor sounds better to me than the 82Z tenor in one of your other videos.

Sorry dude but Yamaha doesn't do rolled tone holes. Keilwerth, Mauriat, Eastman, vintage Conns, a few other boutique brands yes, but Yamaha, errah, no.

Worst saxophone ever. I directly compared a new Buffet 400 to a new Jupiter student model and my old Conn 16M in need of overhaul. Even with four different mouthpiece and a couple reed strengths, I could only get middle register notes out, and they were not pretty. I might try a different one at another authorized dealer; however, I have tried seven other brands/models and don't have much hope this will crawl out of last place.

no model 25 on your website as of today FYI

My first instrument was a Conn Tenor Lady Face 10 M. It was my Dad’s. I visited Conn Selmer in Elkhart Ind. Got to hold one of those ConnSelmer china made Tenors! Our guide let slip that maybe a Conn Tenor made in Elkhart could be coming! Heard any of this?

College sax players always have a spare 4K laying around. I had to play a Martin. Sucked.

Yes, it does smell very Chinese 😅

Good night cou you please tell me if this instrument has adjustment screwson the right and left hand stacks.

Good night good video. I would also reccomend an intermediate sax as a backup inst for professional players.

=?
