    Dude, I love your videos. You show how to get around all the upper register stuff on tenor and it has helped so much.

    Thankz Sir Valor I'm a busker from London and need to incorporate more altissimo into my playing (I've got too lazy/one dimensional over the yearz). I luv your teaching style. You've helped me smash down that brick wall. Thank you so very much Sir from the bottom of my heart

    Nice. I also like the idea of numbers and changing the way sax is taught. Making it easier for the beginner and less off putting. There are people out there who want to play by ear and just want to learn key identification without the whole learning to read music. Its just not necessary to have instant fun and sound good. When playing sax you have to look for gaps and find a place to what i call "stick a howl" (a brief catchy memorable injection). This is the job I feel of the Sax player. Not playing a tune note for note all the way through. Keep it funky ~ The Wolfman

    Sir I love your sound on the sax and your altissimo notes. Does mouthpiece size and reed size matter

    • @Sirvalorsax
      @Sirvalorsax  5 років тому +1

      Mouthpiece and reed choice make a huge difference but both pale in comparison to good technique. I use a "lip out" embouchure which puts less pressure on the mouthpiece and reed and allows for the reed to oscillate more freely. Doing so requires a smaller tip opening and softer reeds. Also, it will take about 2 months to develop the muscles to get comfortable with this embouchure.

    You have one of the coolest sounds I've heard. It would be cool to have a video on how you got your sound - throat, embouchure, etc. Even your lower register is worth discussing.
    I am curious, what type of horn do you have - I can't tell from the bell etching or neck. VR? VK?

    • @Sirvalorsax
      @Sirvalorsax  7 років тому +1

      Hello and thanks. 1st off, I now have a new horn. The one in the video is a Cannonball Vintage Reborn (Brute finish) unlacquered. I replaced it with a Cannonball Vintage Reborn Amber lacquer. I play in a freakishly humid environment and the unlacquered horn was becoming a disaster. I will be posting extensive mouthpiece reviews within the next week or so focusing on sound. I think you will enjoy!!!

    • @cjbalk
      @cjbalk 7 років тому

      I'm just learning more about the Cannonball - I was looking at the key mechanics in your video. I like the placement of the pearls and the teardrop. Seems a bit more solid than a few other models I've tried.
      One of your videos mentioned a book, have you completed that? Do you have another website?
      Looking forward to your next video.

    • @Sirvalorsax
      @Sirvalorsax  7 років тому +2

      Not yet, still in the works for the book. I have found that Cannonball's rival the Big Boys (Selmer, Yanagisawa, Yamaha, Keilwerth) but not the cost. Sound is always subjective but their tenors work for me!! :)

    • @cjbalk
      @cjbalk 7 років тому

      When I got my '67 Tone King, I was really happy with the tone, and the cost was a fraction of Selmer. I love the heavier/thicker metal than most newer models. But the intonation makes it more difficult. That's partially why I'm interested in the Cannonball. I've heard good things about it's intonation across various mouthpieces (Tone King is picky on what you use.)
      I hope people pick up on your comment about "sound is subjective". Bob Reynolds has a nice short video about the best mouthpiece (*spoiler alert* He holds up a piece of paper that says, "The one you own.")
      Looking forward to more videos from you. You definitely have something unique to share with people.

      I would definitely try using stiffer of softer reeds with the Meyer if that is the piece you prefer to play on.

    when you say blow "overblow",,, meaning blow harder??? if so still nothing

    • @Sirvalorsax
      @Sirvalorsax  8 років тому +3

      Overblowing is a fancy way of saying "organized" or "purposeful" squeaking. If you play your high "G" (not altissimo), and accidentally get a palm "D", we say you squeaked! In actuality, you overblew the "G" and got the "D". The same thing goes for ALL ALTISSIMO!!!! All you're doing is organizing your squeaks. Try deliberately squeaking on those fingerings and trying to repeat the process. :) GOOD LUCK!!

    the split "f" ,,, I cant get any action on that

    • @Sirvalorsax
      @Sirvalorsax  8 років тому

      Using the same fingering, try starting with the F# (Palm key) then overblow to C (altissimo) and then overblow to split F

    • @seanwintersax
      @seanwintersax 6 років тому

      It gets a little confusing use the term split when referring to those upper notes because generally split is used to talk about a split tone or a tone that breaks up. Where as in this example I feel like he's using the word split to describe something else entirely.
