      Well it sure would be nice if the ultem pieces were to become available again. I was too late to get an alto piece like Dave's and ended up buying a poorly crafted ultem from Another Maker.

      @@DaawudFareed we won’t be using that material again, but the hard rubber is even more resonant. That’s why I stuck with that. If you like the sound of my mouthpieces, just get the hard rubber. Dave likes the look of the Ultem, but the hr is king.

    Great Sound! What tip openings do you play on alto, soprano and tenor? I would like to try one with the same tip opening as you play, but don't know which one to order. Is it a 7 on alto?

    Dave I got a question? I love your tone and many other saxophonists. But my tone sounds so beginner and weak, what should I do to get a smoother nicer tone?

    • @DavePollack
      @DavePollack  2 роки тому +1

      Usually it’s an embouchure thing - voice “aww” while playing and support with air. Reach out for lessons if you want to get more in-depth!

    • @georgebutler3323
      @georgebutler3323 2 роки тому +1

      I may not be dave, but I can offer advice to supplement what he just said. The best starting point for tone development is long tones, so play a note for 4-5 seconds and exclusively pay attention to how it sounds and between long tones make small changes in your throat position and note down what qualities of your sound change when you make those adjustments. The goal is to find the right throat position for the sound you want on long tones then use that as a goalpost for transferring it across your range and as you play more complex music then just straight tones.

    • @XIIMonkeysMusicGroup
      @XIIMonkeysMusicGroup 2 роки тому

      Also, long tones! It's said ad nauseum, but it's true! Gain breath control and correct embouchure and tone follows!

      I wore them for all 3 (right ear only - I don’t like the look of headphones in my videos for the most part) but you see it mostly on alto because I had to thrn the most to “look” over at the other 2 saxophonists

    That make of mouthpiece produced a very attractive sound for playing fast swinging modern jazz phrasing and tonal bend variations on the soprano sax BUT i feel doesn't suit the tenor sax for getting the full bodied sound favoured by the great Anerican tenor soloists , apart from the playing of Mike Brecker

    • @10MFAN
      @10MFAN 2 роки тому

      That couldn’t be further from the truth. Dave sounds great on it and does not sound like Michael Brecker. There are 4 pages of The Classic video clips on my 10MFAN website which show all sides of what that mouthpiece can do.
