Відео

Only watched because it featured Vijetha (kidding of course) :)

I was NOT expecting this

swear I saw you at dci denton last night

8:50 Easter egg, Muczynski?

havent taken mine to a workshop since ive had this one (like 4ish years) do you think i should

Kiddy scissors, TSA approved?

👏👏👏 those are some good sounds

The second sounds better, it's also the Cane Reed.

hello! i came across your video by chance, and it was really intruiging to see a saxist and all the techniques used (as i’m not one!) 😸 this has also inspired me to consider recording my practice sessions too! best of luck to your pieces and excerpts, they sound really good! 👏👏🎉

The fact you are being disciplined enough to record this is amazing. Do you feel like you benefit going back and reviewing it? It seems more hassle than recording just audio but I can see merit in being able to see yourself.

Remember, we grow the most when we’re uncomfortable!! Liberation sounds great, keep at it!

At the end of summer you should do a full run of gotkovsky quartet finale only using double tongue

me playing bari sax and not knowing how to swab a bari sax 😭

ima try and do both jazz and concert all-region, but i want to advance with jazz

i think this video just goes to show that synthetic vs cane isn’t the end-all be-all of one’s playing. both sounded fine, and the differences in brightness and darkness can arguably be chalked up to the style of the reed’s cut of micro variations in the hardness of the cane.

24 & 34 or riot

Thanks! Hey, seems like that case has a bit of room to take a slightly larger bell/bow?

Hi Ethan, I am an advanced saxophonist and I want to vary the equipment I use. The Chops book interests me a lot. Which edition do you recommend? Thank you !

I have had my 1.5 Legere Synth reed for two years. Still going strong.

Sounds great and good conducting on your part. Thanks for posting.

Conduct me please

THEY BOTH SUCK

What saxophone and mouth piece do you use?

🤘💪

I thought the 2nd

🎷

Reed 1 was better and more full

2

The tone on the 1st one is definitely neat. Sounds pretty dark, which can be cool for some contexts! But it sounded like you were a bit more expressive with the 2nd reed, the sound opening up into this rich brightness that the 1st one lacked I'd prefer the 2nd! But the 1st would be great if playing a 2nd or 3rd chair harmony part supporting the lead from underneath. That super full dark sound would sound so full, while not distracting from a main melody Just my opinion, I'm a fkn piano player, so take it with a grain of salt lol

Bro we can SEE that the second is cane. Sounds unexpectedly worse to me though

Second, in my opinion. Just that little bit fuller and broader.

1st one sounded better! I’m currently playing on V12 3’s for alto, do you know what strength would work if i were to get the signature or french cut?

2nd is the synthetic one

Aren't you American?

I liked the first but it sounded like you preferred playing the second. But Ben may have a point.

Unqualified opinion, the 2nd, which I am guessing is cane, but I am just a Dad with no musical acumen.

2nd, I thought. Sounds fuller, more body.

I don't think any one sounds better than the other. Obviously the first one is warmer, the second one is brighter. So there is a sound difference, but honestly I think it depends on what kind of sound you're going for. Also, there's a texture preference to consider; synthetic reeds feel drastically different than cane reeds in the mouth. Lastly, a good tone doesn't come from just the reed; it comes from the combination of your mouth, the mouthpiece, and the reed being held in place properly by the ligature.

I think the first one. I can barely tell a difference. But the first one sounds better

First one sounds better 💯

Both sound really… really, bad.

tableaux v goes crazy, you’re gonna have so much fun with it!!

I love your story about raising your hands and being excited about your accomplishment. I can still remember the first time I hit altissimo g. I could go higher but g was so elusive once I found it and replicated it I felt like I was floating over the floor in that practice room. As long asc we can celebrate our accomplishments without becoming that guy. Love your use of the candide, as a clarinet player I know the battle.

Tableaux 4 is really coming along dude, sounding great as always🤩

how do you keep your practices focused and constantly find stuff to practice? I feel my practices loses direction after about 30min because I run out of stuff to do.

It’s always fun seeing what other people are practicing! Keep up the awesome work with these videos!

Nice, I love your tone! I am curious about your setup (horn, mouthpiece, reed)? Looking forward to more videos! Thanks for posting.
