WOW! Your playing and that horn really is so BOSS! Wow! US$ 800? That really is a hellava deal! Those Chinese saxes are getting better, like their Taiwanese competitors. Cheers on your video! I already have a Selmer Reference 54 Alto, but I wouldn’t mind putting money on that horn as well.
@ Hi. There are some places on the horn where there are felts instead of corks, and some corks and felts have been glued on with to less glue so they come of. Fix that and I would have no problem at all using it as a main instrument. Hope that helps 🙂. All the best, Henrik
@@HenrikGadMusic Oh! Okay. Yes, that does help. With those faults on that horn, I would wonder if I were to notify Mr. Wang on this before getting that horn and how much more would it be to fix those issues. Thank you for your response. I always enjoy your videos. Have you been sent any other horns by Eastern Music?
@ no the alto is the only horn I have gotten from him. I’m sure that if you ask in advance that he use an little more glue and maybe asks for more cork then felt he will fix this. All the best, Henrik
Mr.Henry Gad, that there is a warm sounding, highly desirable combination you got going on! Forgive me for lack of knowledge but what is the first song you play at 2:45 before "Body & soul? From memory I can hum along with it but what is it ?! I hate when I hear a song and can't recall the artist! Thank you for sharing your musical gift and passion with the world.

@@HenrikGadMusic What would make that horn a "10" for you?

Seems like a great value for the money!
Yes, I agree with you.
Have you tried the Selmer-Conn Better Sax in a similar price range?
No I haven’t tried those.
Sounds pretty good 😊👏👏👏🩵
Henrik du har lärt hela sololäxan som vi alla lirare vill kunna!
@@jazzforJamie tack så mycket 🙏🙂

Where can I get that horn from Japan?
Hi, search for there website and I’m sure they will help you. All the best / Henrik
@@HenrikGadMusic Thanks! Looking forward to it. I already have a Selmer Reference alto sax that I may later one pass to my oldest daughter who is learning the sax and loves it and consider that horn you are playing.
This is the same sax Donny Jepp plays over dare
This one goes to 7
Imo the mainland chinese saxes have terrible action. In no way compare to Selmer.
