    Rest in Peace, dear Ken Beason. It was an honor to be part of your life in any way. I am fortunate to have captured this video before you passed. You impacted so many people with your buoyant personality and your highly skillful sax-mechanical expertise. You played a pivotal role in evolving how saxophones are built today. Thousands of saxophonists will remember your life’s work forever!

      Add we changed the left hand thumb rest material more French style, and moved the right hand thumb hook up and over to make it more 6 like and smaller!.

    I'm not even a saxophonist, but I can't not watch these kind of videos. The passion that these builders have is so refreshing, makes one want to play just so you can "honor" their work, you know?

    Nathan, my man thank you so much for yet another great and educational video. What I want you to realize is that you are not just uploaded you tube videos. You are documenting jazz history for people 70 years from now. Track down old jazz men/women in your area before they pass on to the cotton club in the sky. Nathan, the next Ken Burns. Have you watched that series on jazz? Of course you have. Buddy bolden, Louis Armstrong. Where’s that third brother?

    Loved seeing this video! Your hair got long! For anyone reading this comment Ken is a master and is “the master” technician for the stars... you name the player and chances are that they have had Ken set up their horn! I met Ken through a close friend in the Sax manufacturing industry years ago and trust him completely with all my horns. Integrity, skill and kindness are a killer set of attributes... this man is a gem! Love you man and look forward to seeing you soon!

    I play alto and I have learnt over the years that if a saxophone isn’t built right it doesn’t play right. If one key is to hight is different of the saxophones body there’s a major different playing feel

    The saxes look and sound great! I really like the sound of the Tru-Six Vintage Unlacquered.

  • @jazzman_10
    @jazzman_10 2 роки тому +4

    Even though I am sure those saxes are great, there aresome other also great options on the market almost 2000€ cheaper like Trevor James or Eastman...
    This is one of those rare times when I actually could tell a slight difference between the saxes, the cognac finish has something that makes it sound better to my ears. I loved the looks of the unlacquered though...

    Pro-tip: Once I get my neckstrap in the right spot on a horn I thread the needle of a button through both sides of the straps so it can't slip.

    They should try a Yamaha Tenor 875EX versus a Selmer Mark VI or VII !!! And then say which one plays better!! I've been playing Yamaha Professional for over 40 years and my choice is always going to be Yamaha because they play easier and are always easy-to-use going up and down to the basement of the horns!! And it doesn't matter if you are playing Soprano or Alto or Bari Sax!! They're all easy to play and you will always get the best sound out of it, no matter what!!!
