S-Series VS R-Series | BSS Tenor Sax Mouthpieces
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Boston Sax Shop has kindly sent me 2 of their current tenor mouthpieces. In this video, I compare them with an actual vintage Otto Link Reso Chamber. I was very tempted to call this video "IS A $2,000 MOUTHPIECE EVEN WORTH IT!!?!?" or, "$450 Mouthpiece VS $2,000+ Mouthpiece!!!?!?!??!" That would have made for some hella clickbait. But I must have some sense of morality left.
Soon, the E-Series will be coming out, as well as BSS alto sax mouthpieces. Jack Finucane is the man! A true wizard of saxophone and fashion specs.

Hello.
Yes, hello right off the bat.
Hello my fellow Easter egg hunter.
We meet again.
Let's get right into it.
I need you, ok?
I need you here with me.
I love you.
Lol jk
Can you imagine if that's how I was like?
I hope you would love it!
Ok so,
Here is my predicament.
Such a casual title such as the one I decided to go with will surely have knocked my potential view count down tremendously, compared to the click bait titles.
Does it matter?
Would the big views help not only my channel, but also get BSS get more sales?
Not that they really need it as they are always sold out lol
Or would the big views from an outrageous title cause negative attention and taint the Boston Sax name?
That was my fear all along.
Does being authentic help maintain and build credibility? Or am I over thinking it?
A click bait title would surely bring more people who don't even know about these mouthpieces to this video.
A title like this assumes that you already know what an S-Series mouthpiece and R-Series mouthpiece are. That is a much lower percentage than the average UA-cam strolling around their recommended feed.
Do you like this kind of more serious/formal content?
Or do you just want the memes and laughs?
Angels and demons are talking to me.
I mean that metaphorically. Don't worry, I am not a psychopath.
At least I think.
Thank you fellow Easter Egg hunter.
All input is welcomed. I can't do this alone.
You are the best.
So better.
The greatest around.
Thank you.
Wow!
me, a drummer: ah yes, that sounds like a good mouthpiece.
I feel that, when I watch drum videos I’m like ah yes long tones
me, a bassist: ah yes, that sounds like a good mouthpiece
Same
The smile after every demo kills me every time lmao
I smile for you. Everything I do is for you
I’m on incredibly honored to be mentioned between two legends in Joel Frahm and Lucas Pino
Thank you Nathan. I love you ❤️
P.S these pieces are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I feel like the vintage one sounded the best imo 👌
Me: I need to stop buying things, I always end up back on the same mouthpiece.
Also me: Man, can't wait for Jack to make some alto pieces!
You sound great on all of them! I can definitely hear the differences of the mouthpieces when you play on them, but that can very well be because each of them makes you want to play a different way!
I might try these when I go back to jazz band in September
Um wait I didn’t see the price?!
It’s a hefty price but it’s a pro mouthpiece with virtually no design flaws!
"Alrighty. I've come to a conclusion... I have no conclusion..." why is this me everytime someone comes to me for help?😂🙈
Got the R series for me, simply the best mouthpiece I ever played!!! The tone, the response in the low register! Never thought something like this is possible! I am very thankful!
Absolutely love my S-Series 8*. Gives me everything I wanted and more. Hope to play you in Smash again sometime soon! -Codus
Hi Cody 😊 lol
Just tomorrow i buy a tenor sax , and as it happens, saxologic uploads a video rhat speak of mouthpieces for tenor saxophone
PERFECT
I think keeping these kinds of titles are better because newer viewers may see you as a more genuine person. Usually when I see a lot of clickbait-y titles I always think that the person reviewing the mouthpiece/instrument is being paid to say these things or whatever the person is saying isn’t actually genuine. I also think that these more serious videos are better but that’s entirely personal preference, I think that a combination of serious and meme videos are just fine.
Hope this helped :)
Agree with this 100%...However, the analytics don't lie. The masses of wandering YT addicts keep taking the bait.
you should review the gs mouthpieces, they are EXACT(!!!) copies of original otto links, but they only cost 200$ cause they are 3D printed, but not with plastic, with dental resin ;-; (i know... wtf...) but still they are BEASTS
Damn the Link sounds great. So resonant and colorful. The other ones sound stuffy, thin, and hard to play to my ears.
Thinking? You thinking? I'm thinking. We're all thinking.
It's nice to get some new stuff to try.
Especially when it's FREE!
Glad you were authentic.
On that thought, wood reeds and different mouthpieces distract me.
It's more fun just to practice and play.
If I were a carpenter (I did build my own house), I found a pro hammer that felt comfortable in my hand that I could swing for hours. I didn't try to find another hammer when I got fatigued or didn't drive the nail in two hits.
Same with my sax. I found mouthpieces and reeds (Carbon Onyx) that worked for each sax.
Now I just keep those sounds coming.
It may not be ideal to everyone's ears, but like my one teacher said "Close enough for jazz!"
When u don't play sax but u are aah jes this is my next mouthpiece
Half these guys that endorse it endorsed 10 other mouthpieces as well
"I think this is the start of my mouthpiece crisis" 😅 So relatable 😂
I think the Boston sax shop mouthpieces are good but the Otto link had a fatness to the sound that I don't think the others had
I agree 100%
You have such a smooth voice you should be a talk show host or The Shopping Network
How have I not watched this!?
You can also get a hard rubber Otto Link reissue Slant Signature 8 , .110" TONE EDGE. mine is from 2008 for less money. JJ Babbitt wrote the book on these mouthpieces.
I’m a bit partial to the vintage reso 😌
After extensive analyzing, I have come to the conclusion that the scream at the end is a C5. Congrats
So, as someone who started as a brass musician many moons ago (and was a music ed major for a time), the fact that saxophone mouthpieces can be so expensive blows my effing mind, and always has. Lol.
I saw your comment on a molt rage video and so far I like your videos! Keep it up my guy
Saxologic am begging you to collab with trombone timo it would be such a cool video!
ive been doing research on a new mouthpiece and this was a big help thanks my dude
Have SYOS make you a custom mouthpiece. It´s a sure bet. If you are not satisfied, you get your money
back. It took 4 tries for me and number 4 was perfect FOR ME. Sent the other 3 back and everything is Ivydivie as Pres would have said. All you sceptics out there- try it. You can´t lose. Then go pay 450
bucks for something that is another person´s idea of an old mouthpiece. I am not slamming BSS products. I have BSS reeds and a ligature that are fine. But a custom tailored suit will fit better than one
off the rack. SYOS is a unique opportunity!
Crazy how such a small difference can make such a big one.
Listening blindly the link takes it easily for my ears. The others sounded thinner when going into the upper range to me.
Said brother had did saved me 6 bucks on reeds for which I was already forthwith going to order! Right on!!
I would love to try these pieces out! I liked the R series a lot by how you played it.
Thank you Mr. Cole!
R has a bit of edge. The old link does sound lovely.
Hey great video...can you do a video on the alto s series and m series? Thanks
i just want jack to make more darn bari products
Man I say that to the whole industry
Wow ! That’s baffling !
Awesome review and as always good to hear your sounds bro! Loving the tenor.
I 100% understand the mouth piece crisis as a tuba player. I thinks that it funny how all "brass" instruments have the same issues lol.
Great video man I tried there reeds for the first time a couple weeks ago and I can’t look back 😂
It’s the Boston Sax Shop effect!
PLEASE DO A VIDEO TEACHING US HOW TO GROWL!
A Vandoren V16 medium chamber and a Vandoren V16 Large chamber will give me a similar effect for less than the price of one of these boutique mouthpieces.
Fire video bro 🔥. Keep up the work 💪
I've been considering buying one!
Hey! could you possibly make a video on the frost jazz audition process, thats my dream school!
He makes 3 tenor models now
Hi, I'm in your clan in CR!! (Master_Muha) I noticed you don't use much subtone in the lower register, is there a particular reason why?
Could you possibly review the Selmer Concept against some other well known classical saxophone mouthpieces? Thanks for your consideration!
Wow these mouthpieces made my iPhone speakers vibrate in a way they have never vibrated before
FYI, I get an inkling that this is a sponsored video. Based on FTC guidelines, you need to disclose that in the video.
If its not, that's great. Regardless, I really enjoy your content. Thanks for putting great stuff out there
I wasn’t paid or asked to make this video, though I do receive a percentage of sales from whoever uses the code. Does that mean it is a sponsored video? (I am a noob sorry)
@@Saxologic I believe the answer is yes, although since the actual video content isn't sponsored, you may only have to put a disclaimer next to the link in the description
Here's a FAQ with more information

Bro you should upload a video of you playing Cherokee on tenor, I just wanna see you shreeeedddd 🔥 I CRAVE it
R-Series ! Maybe you should try an 8 .
Can you do a Video for best beginner mouthpieces?
The Owen Wilson of saxophones tho.
I personally liked the vintage
But all punning aside, all 3 pieces sound great !
Play me in smash again?
Edit: nice review. It had professionalism that I wasn’t ready for 🤯
I am gonna try to make a smash vid this week on Smashologic! And thanks!
@@Saxologic >:) ok
Sheesh, 450 bucks! My MPC is 80 bucks... Sounds good though, James Bunte piece.
Weak!!! My mouthpiece came with the sax
Plzzzz review the mini pocket sax!!!!! Lol
when you are a beginner sax player and the words make no sense to you and it sounds like science
Knowledge!
wow I didn't know mouthpieces made that much of a difference lol
I'm playing on saxophone for 2 years now, any tips?
Yessir lets GOOOOO BSS MOUTHPIECE
YESSIR
Fellow easter egg hunter, I personally prefer the memes. I think a more serious tone would be directed to a very small portion of your viewers who know saxophone and jazz. While a more funny/memey tone is directed to anybody.
I mean he does both so it all adds up in the end I gues 🤷🏾♂️
I get big Walter Smith III vibes from the S Series
Can you beat zackgrooves up?
Easily obviously
Yes, yes, of course
Mmm. Let's see a video on you beating the great Zack up.😈💀
They sent this video to me in an email... damn
Oh wow no way
Bro what’s your tenor model
The Otto link is by far the best sounding one, can’t beat the vintage…
Everybody says that but for every vintage Link that sounded good there were 20 that sound ok to bad. There is no doubt that with modern production with would be extremely easy to take a good vintage mouthpiece and reproduce it. What’s even funnier is the fact that the tip openings guys were playing back then were small. Today everybody is playing 7 8 and 9 even larger tip openings with many being refaced vintage pieces. Kind of throws that vintage logic out the window.
You should take a look at the GetASax.com GS Slant or GS Reso. Both of these are 3D printed copies of vintage Otto Link Reso Chamber or the Slant Sig. I get a really nice tenor sound that I don't really get on other mouthpieces I own. You can also get these for really good prices ($199 / ea.)
I love everything about you.
I love you more.
That R-series sounds Bergonzi-esq.
Yessir
Profile pic master!!!

My teacher wants me to get a Selmer C star as my wallet screeches no.

The R series is like the. jody jazz but brighter
so I like a lot but I have an issue of playing too bright so maybe jodyjazz for me
Not gonna lie.
Saw the thumbnail, and thought it was a video on vapes. I'm stupid
That’s up next!
@@Saxologic hmm
Ay saxologic where you frahm?
I see what you did there. Master!
And NC
Don't worry about the title and the views. Don't worry, it's just a niche inside another niche. Who cares about the money, right? Right? 😅
No clickbait = no care. unsubbed, disliked, blocked
Nooooooooo

All sound the same to me. Maybe they feel different
