There is a lot of value in the sound of vintage saxes that don't have one so it's a tough call for vintage horns. I personally would never buy a modern sax without one
because pitch is not the only thing that make a sound. Same pitch play on alto or tenor doesn't sound the same. Even if all saxophone have the same keys, there are not made exactly similar, the cone angle, the bore are different.
I have an old Selmer Mk VI and the first alt (1,3,4 +Eb) works great and I used that playing this number in bands.
Wow great video
bravo
🔥 🔥 🔥 so cool!
Video on tonguing in the altissimo range? Also I always see that Kaizen thing and it reminds me of learning about it and Sigma6 in engineering lol.
Excellent suggestion
how do you get such clear tone and in tune altissimo notes?
Keep a sufficient airflow and an open throat!
It's the ligature that does this 😁
Airflow is hugely important. I treat altissimo like it is a regular part of the sax
Sleeping with your horn and a zillion hours in the shed
Since I have a horn without the high F#, should I sell it for one with it?

Sorry for being so late to your video but could you tell me the name of the sax piece at the end
Faure "Pavane". I used a similar loop from Xzibit's "Paparazzi"
Could you do more video like this on soprano 🥺
Great suggestion. I'll consider it
Would it be possible to purchase a hard copy of your altissimo studies?? I would be willing pay more if necessary
It is very difficult logistically to have it set up. I'm hoping that with enough sales of the digital version, I can set it up in the near future
I am waiting on the paper book, I am old school.
@@jeanpierre4969same here. I think that we are all old school here. Let us know please
You have changed your cannonball sax for a new one ? May I ask what brand is it ? Thanks
that's still his normal cannonball
That's the Vintage Reborn still I believe. He has a few necks though.
Same one but I have 3 necks for it
Free Bird is my all time fav. sax tune. Except for Stairway to Hell
Lol
I like a paper book pls.
I'm looking into it, thanks
At the risk of sounding like the snarky lazy old fart I happen to be, why not just grab a soprano?

@@MrGeolm I know, I have 2 or three of each. I was being a snarky lazy old fart. 😎
Lol
