Man! You are so fortunate. Not because you are so talented. I'm sure you worked very hard to get there. But because you have a dream job of being a professional musician on a ship! Since I like to take a few cruises a year I really enjoy watching you with the ship in the background. Another great review! Thanks
I think the Vandoren T6 has a more complex sound but in a beautiful vvay... Based in this video I prefered the Vandoren... But both sounded amazing and very beautiful
I like tha D'Addario more, even if the difference when you play them is not so big. I like your sound so much..!! Maybe that's why they both sound good
I have a Daddario DM7 on Tenor (after playing a Link for 35 years! Though I have the Vandoren for the Alto (after playing a Wolfe Tayne for 35 years- you sound great on both man!
Love how you play!!! I have a vandoren v16 t6 like you, do you think that the Daddario select jazz is better or more or less the same?? Because Im planning to buy the Daddario but I dont know if Im going to feel a lot of difference with the vandoren v16, thanks in advance!! 🙏🏻
@@Sirvalorsax Sorry I never replied to your question. I was using the regular piece. I just got another Jazz Select piece to try again. I was playing a V16 T6 but find the palm keys to be somewhat piercing and a bit shrill. The jazz select, to my surprise, is not as bright as the V16. So I'm gonna work with it for a while. Do you remember what reed you were using on this comparison? I'm using Boston Sax Shop reeds on mine. Great reeds.
I also bought the sandstone marble version of the d'addario and I went and did a comparison to the regular black one and I will say that the material does feel a bit different and for me I noticed a slight increase in response with the sandstone marble edition. They both sound the same though
D'addario all day long.... Both sound great but....... The darker sound and ability to play this way easily is My subjective preference, seemingly mirrored in you're choice too. BTW I play one too🎷👍
Sirvalorsax.. hellooo .. greetings from Brazil hehe.. Hey..!! , between the Vandoren T6 Ebonite and the D’addario Select Jazz D7M , witch one is the easier to play?.. Like, easier to get a Nice full sound? ...easier to control?.. witch is the more freeblowing?... thanks a lot man !! Love your chanel!! :)
Hey man, new subscriber, great channel and soaking up as much of your knowledge as possible. Would really love to hear you and the keys stretch that number out you were playing in this vid. Many thanks meantime!
Another great vid Adriene but Unfortunately I have to disagree with you this time and go with the Vandoren. I own a T6 and I’ve tried out the D7M 8M and 9M (only got to try the 7M with both finishes) Although I love both of these pieces, I like the bright punch of the V16 (especially with your style). For the time being though the V16 is resting in my drawer and I’m playing a Jody Jazz HR* 8. Really excited to try out the new Vandoren V16 too. Keep those vids coming brother D
Great review. You sound great on both I might need to try out the dadarrio piece sometime 💵 🔥 . I really love my T7 ebonite mouthpiece however now that I recently switched to Legere’s signature reeds!! I use strength #3
@@ytinf1090 The D’Addario is slightly brighter. Both have narrower beaks than my SYOS (main) mpc. Over time I find the SYOS a bit too bright for big band, so I use the FL there.
Hi! Thank you so much for your reviews! Which chamber size is the Vandoren? S, M or L? I think one or two of these sizes didn't exist some years ago...
Helloo friend!! How are you? Could you tell me the exact model of your silversteinworks Carbon black used in this video ?! Cause I know they come in different options and sizes!... yours looks like purple color( maybe black) .. thanks a lot :) Very very Nice sound also !!
I really like the alto versions. If I had to do it again, I would get a smaller facing than the 6 for my alto. I haven't tried them on my tenor.....yet
I don’t know many people who play Meyer mouthpieces on Tenor but certainly a great mouthpiece for Alto. I have both the D’Addario D7M Select Jazz & the Vandoren V16 T7 played here and prefer the D’Addario, it has a slightly softer sound whereas the Vandoren is a bit more of an edgy sound. Both are great mouthpieces though IMO.
@@alanhowell3646 yea the meyer was a bit too dark for me although I may get one for Alto in the near future. I’m currently using a Vandoren Jumbo Java T75 on Tenor
Do you still have your allora soprano sax? And if so, do you still like it after having it for awhile now? I've been looking at a intro tenor sax and allora is a brand I saw at my store. The student is Chinese the higher end I'm not sure. Wanted your opinion after awhile. Saw your bari review on it too a week ago.
Yes, I still have it and I still like it. I'm looking into getting the curved Allora but I want to wait to see if they will make a professional version.
I'm still debating on the 4c or the 5c. I would use them for a long gig because they are easy to play. As far as volume, that is a very subjective thing. I would try to get a nice EQ from the sound person and then play on which ever mouthpiece I felt was best for the gig. They are generally not considered powerhouse mouthpieces. On soprano, I found this mouthpiece cuts through quite nicely.
@@Sirvalorsax nice nice.. I started on tenor about a week ago. Played alto for a very long time but after listening to tenor players im making the switch. I got a Chinese glory tenor, its good but came with a abs mouthpiece and glory reeds, they play good enough to to wait and see what I need to do. I think I might just get the 5c on amazon and if I dont like it I'll just return it or keep it. I dont want to spend 150 for a rubber one. I tried the v16 from a friend and i thought it was pretty nice but I dont know if the yamaha 5c and v16 were to be somehow of equal volume.
@@Sirvalorsax Shit. That's what I usually use. I'm struggling to settle on a goto mouthpiece for tenor. Every mouthpiece I have will produce what I'm looking for, just not every time I play them. It's a little irritating.
D'addario all day long. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
I'm late but... D'addario > Vandoren to my ears!
Daddario is thicker more body to its sound a little darker, but there is a edge to the V16/sizzle brighter that I really like with your playing .
I love the sound of the D'addario but you sound absolutely killer on the Vandoren
Thanks
D 'Addario is the best for me. Thanks for this great video

A gig on a ship is the worst gig you can have....you have distorted notions about what a real musician is...
I think the Vandoren T6 has a more complex sound but in a beautiful vvay... Based in this video I prefered the Vandoren... But both sounded amazing and very beautiful

Sirvalorsax which one is the easier to play ?
Horses for courses ,as is said in Shropshire, and $240 is double the T6 price and used are $65.But you can make a drain pipe sound magnificant .
Hmmm, a drain pipe review might be interesting. LOL!!
definitely wandering and using the same rod thanks
I like tha D'Addario more, even if the difference when you play them is not so big. I like your sound so much..!! Maybe that's why they both sound good

This is interesting. When I tried the same comparison a few years ago I remember the D'addario to be much brighter than the V16.
Was it the Marble or the Regular D'Addario?

Ahhh. I was wondering how different they were from the regular ones
i had it the opposite way around, standard black better sound than the marble
The T6 Van. sounds more suitable for rock funk etc. Imo.
The first person view and give a thumbs up...👍🏽
thanks

thanks a lot man !! Love your chanel!! :)
I think the Vandoren is closer to what you expect from a hard rubber mouthpiece but the Marble is very unique and soft rod rubber
@@Sirvalorsax witch one do you feel has the brighter sound between those 2 ?! Thanks!.. cheers from Brazil!
The Vandoren sounds brighter to me@@pedrodavidrodrigues3481
To my taste T6 sounds better. Would be interesting to compare spectrum in similar conditions (reed, pressure~, notes).
Hey man, new subscriber, great channel and soaking up as much of your knowledge as possible. Would really love to hear you and the keys stretch that number out you were playing in this vid. Many thanks meantime!
I'm trying to find a way to record it and sell it on iTunes/Spotify. It will take time though
Buen domingo,estará bien para mí te engo 6 meses en la práctica .
What was that tune you played that had the piano voicings behind you?
It's called "13". It's a copyrighted original but not released yet.
Another great vid Adriene but Unfortunately I have to disagree with you this time and go with the Vandoren.

Really excited to try out the new Vandoren V16 too.
Keep those vids coming brother

Thanks and I will.
Sounds great as usual!
Thanks
Would love to hear you play on a Berg Larsen MP...
I'm trying to find a Lenny Pickett Berg Larson for a reasonable price. Lots of people have asked about a Berg demo though so maybe sooner than later
which one brighter ? which one better and which one you like more ?
Great review. You sound great on both I might need to try out the dadarrio piece sometime 💵 🔥 . I really love my T7 ebonite mouthpiece however now that I recently switched to Legere’s signature reeds!! I use strength #3
Cool
D'Addario plain and simple
I have the D’Addario (plain); great mpc that is ‘free-blowing”. Similar to the Francois Louis Spectruoso (285) or a Lamberson SB7.
I thought about that one first but I decided to see what the Marble hype was all about.
@@ytinf1090 The D’Addario is slightly brighter. Both have narrower beaks than my SYOS (main) mpc. Over time I find the SYOS a bit too bright for big band, so I use the FL there.

Hi! Thank you so much for your reviews! Which chamber size is the Vandoren? S, M or L? I think one or two of these sizes didn't exist some years ago...
They are both medium chamber pieces. The T6 is now available with a large chamber.
@@Sirvalorsax Thank you! ;-)

Very very Nice sound also !!
I think I got the answer for this one question in another video of yours now! Haha thanks
Is that a silver neck ? What’s your reed/lig/horn set up in this? Vandoren is noticeably brighter but still nice
It is the polished silver version of the Cannonball VR. I use Vandoren Redbox 2.5 for this. Thanks for watching
What’s your opinion on the Meyer 6 mouthpiece. I’m getting it and I wonder what you think of it

@@abedinsubashi ah ok! I don’t know that mouthpiece.
Lindo sax tenor.🎷👌
Is D`addario D7M equivalent to the opening of the V16 T6? Or is there a difference in the opening of these two tested mouthpieces?
Yes, they are similar

Did you end you p buying the yamaha 5c. Did you like it? Does it work for jazz gigs? Meaning is it loud enough?

I have a daddario alto
the aarron drake resin ligature completely transforms the d,addario compared to using a metal ligature
I will look into it. Thanks
