that end with Bond..... made me smile, this was very funny :-)
Thank you very much for watching till the end. I am glad I could make you smile 🙂❤️ My best wishes and greetings 🙂❤️🎷
The end bit with Bond.. LOVE! hahahah You are amazing.
It's a pleasure to see you playing your saxofone...
grazie Felicity per la bella e completa spiegazione. BRAVO!!!
Grazie a te!😊🎷
Ciao
Ho realizzato ciò che proponi e ora riesco a fare i sovracuti e le note bassissime senza alcune difficoltà. Sono "felicityssimo". Grazie ancora.
@@paoloporro2822 Anch'io!!😻 Mi fa molto piacere di sapere che il mio video ti poteva essere d'aiuto !! 😊❤️❤️❤️👏👏🎷
A nice & knowledgeable presentation, Thanks!
Nice vid! I totally used to do all that Reed storage stuff I must admit, but now I’ve started doing…nothing! 😂 I just let the Reed dry out between playing. It stops any mould, and it plays totally fine the next time. ☺️
Υπέροχη η μουσική από σαξόφωνο 🎷!!κ το υπηρετείτε εξαιρετικά!!!! συγχαρητήρια!!!!!
Felicity great video wonderful saxophonist Happy berthday 🎷❤🌹

Very cool video . Highly educational.
Muchas felicidades, excelente video. I loved it.
Thanks a lot for the Video. I Tried the Vodka method…..and it works!!!!!! 👍👍👍😊😊Until now I always used a wet sponge inside the storage box (different brands), but it‘s a big Problem with hygiene. Conserving is better with Vodka too. The sandpaper method is also the best one, i‘m using it for decades.
You are a great musician and your vids are very beautiful and well done. I love your sound, articulation and phrasing, played with Great feeling and emotion. Thanks a lot for playing! 👍😊
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback ! 🥰🙏🎷❤️
Thanks for the great video! (I too was experimenting with reeds since I was a child; my pockets were stuffed with reeds, marbles and jelly beans). Great choice: Red Javas are excellent. As a kid, I was burning tips of classical reeds and sanding down the shoulder of the reeds, to make them respond like jazz reeds. Which strength reeds one should play, also depends on ‘single embouchure’, or ‘double embouchure’. Then the music genre; e.g. for his unique Bossa Nova wispy sound, Stan Getz played the hardest Blue Vandoren #5.
Super 👍😉🎷🎷🎷🤣🇨🇿 ... místo vodky ale někdy vyzkouším vlastní slivovici😋🤣🤣🎷⚘
Daddario (formerly Rico) reeds have always been my go to reeds. The newer Select Jazz reeds are pretty good. I’ve never been a big Vandoren fan but recently I’ve been liking the Traditional or V16. My favorites are Lupafaro but are hard to find . Reeds are finicky and unpredictable! I’m a doubler (Saxophones/Clarinets/Flutes) so this complicates things !
Приятно слушать и смотреть.👍😊
Sa fii iubita si multe felicitari pentru cea ce faci mult succes ìn toate
Fantastic information
Thank you. I am glad you liked my video 🙂❤️
Thanks for guiding
You are welcome 🙂❤️
thank you so much for information
You are welcome 🙂
Boas dicas !!👊🏻✌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
É um prazer vê-la tocando o seu saxofone...
Very nice
Skvělé video 👌❤👍
Mockrát děkuji ! Teď jsem přidala České titulky . Už Česky zapomínám, tak snad to nebude úplně hrozný překlad 😅😅
@@Felicitysaxophonist Je to v pohodě 🙂
Wonderful video! Love to hear you talking and playing!
Thank you very much 😊❤️ Glad you enjoyed it.
You are the Gal Gadot of Saxophone! congratulations!
Thank you ☺️☺️❤️🎷
Great video! I have been soaking my reeds in vodka but Felicity’s sponge seems less soggy. Incidentally if you want to try a reedgeek try a lathe tool first and save some bucks - mine is bought on eBay from Anchor Tool ltd (square tool bit 5/16x3 1/2)
😊❤️🎷
Gracias!
Good great job
When I play classical music, I generally play on a size 5. The resistance it gives helps to hold me back. But it's getting to a point where even 5s are becoming too soft for me, lol. But when I play jazz, I typically go somewhere between 2-3 depending on the mouthpiece I use. Though lately i've just decided to stick with 2.5 and am trying to just stick with one mouthpiece (well, one for jazz and one for classical) as opposed to having many different ones.
Thank you very much for your comment and for sharing your experience. It was a pleasure to read it ! 🙂❤️🎷
Meu sogro tocava saxofone e clarineta, tocou em grupos musicais, bandas e orquestras... meu pai tocou violão clássico...
It's awsm❤️👍
Необыкновенно красивая женщина,и не только внешне,но и внутренне,только красивые люди могут играть,создавать такую красивую музыку,которая проникает и трогает нашу человеческую душу.Правильно говорят,что музыка делает нас человечней она способна менять нас,менять наш внутренний мир.И когда человек исполняет ее чувствуешь,что она исходит от самого человека.
Buen vídeo didáctico, enhorabuena Felicity… el alcohol es bueno para desinfectar pero no deshidrata demasiado la caña??, yo cuando tengo actuaciones complicadas por estar un día tocando cerca del mar y otro día en el interior en la montaña, me va muy bien las cañas legere signature para directo en exteriores… en interior es otra cosa y las naturales me gustan más … abrazos desde España!!!
Realmente no! La humedad estará bastante alta en el frasco. Las cañas estarán perfectas. A mi me duran muchísimo.
@@Felicitysaxophonist Eres Francesa?
Love the vodka idea! Haha! 🤣 Prefer the Legere reeds myself..Don’t you like them? Wonder if I could use the vodka on them to get my lipstick off too? Hope you do more informative videos like this..Would LOVE to play like you! Only a beginner really..🥰🥰 Love your style & sensitivity! 🥰🥰👏👏👏
☺️❤️❤️😂 Thank you! I am so used to Vandoren. I can't get used to any other reeds. I was on tour last 10 months and this Vodka idea was brilliant! I often needed to be ready immediately and nobody cares about our problems with reeds 😆
Me encanto
Great video, thanks a lot Felicity, I was wondering if just medical alcohol could do the job, it would be maybe less expensive :)
I was using Vandoren ZZ 2.5 and now I prefere Legere synthetic american cut reeds 2.0 and I'm very happy about them. It saves
so much time and Vodka :):):).
Thanks again. you are gorgeous and skilly, keep on feeding us with great videos. Congrats !
I tried with a medical alcohol, but it left a horrible taste on my reeds. Vodka seems tasteless. Vodka is definitely very expensive here in Norway ! I paid more than 50$ for that small bottle 😅 If you should use some other type of alcohol, check if it’s ok to ingest. Don’t use an alcohol for cleaning for example.
@@Felicitysaxophonist Thank you very much Felicity !
I used Finlandia Vodka but my reeds got drunk and ignored time signatures, my tonguing, most of time it would start playing other songs. So I took a box of Vandoren green for alto, and red box for tenor, to an AA meeting. They asked me to leave because the reeds were soaking-up coffee. They blamed me. I love my reeds but they won’t listen to me unless I speak to them with a French accent. I switched them to wine. And tomorrow I’ll give them a little beer (Guinness for the green box, Heineken for the reds).
Have Looked like you all good thanks I Like
So Much Good job

Hi thank you very much for the video!
Could you please tell us how you take care of your un-lacquered Sax?💖💖💖
Hello! Thank you for asking. I clean my saxophone every time I play it by using a saxophone swab to remove moisture, and a cleaning cloth to gently wipe the body of the instrument. Additionally, once a year I take my saxophone to a luthier for a revision.
@@Felicitysaxophonist Thank you for the quick reply. So you don't use liquids or anything else?🏵
Not really. You can clean the keys with a cloth and synthetic alcohol, but avoid liquid cleaners on saxophone pads, as they can cause damage or deterioration. Instead, rely on dry cleaning methods like pad savers or soft cloths.
Let's *go* *Felicity* *saxophonist* *your* *the* *best*
Thank you!❤️
I wish you every musical success in your career for your talent as an instrumentalist but also for the enormous sympathy and kindness as an artist you are. Success, great success! I love to listen you and to see you always in new music and albuns.
Thank you so much for your kindness and wishes. I appreciate it very much 🙂❤️❤️ My sincere greetings and best wishes ❣️❤️
@@Felicitysaxophonist You are welcome!
It's cool, just super!))
Thank you very much 🙂❤️🎷
Bela explicação sobre a palheta do sax, assemelha-se muito a da clarinete.
🙂❤️🎷
Bravo, Felicity bravo 👏 🙌 🎉!! Your new video is educational, entertaining and most importantly, enthusiastically encouraging!! Very well done with just enough tips and insights to set someone on a path to discover more.
Just don’t substitute moonshine for vodka at anytime…well except for a really moldy reed, maybe 🤔…
Thank you so much Lambros. I appreciate your kind comment❤️😊🎷 My best wishes!
@@Felicitysaxophonist thanks, best wishes to you as well 🙏. Enjoy your summer! 😎🌹🌞
Great explanation love it

I'm also using java
Heyy Mumy! Please help me. What are the caracteristics to choose a good saxophone. I have to buy one by the end of this Year...
Good intonation, comfortable in the hands , not very heavy and good sound projection
Felicity
As palhetas dentro de um vidro fechado com uma esponja úmida será que causa fungos?
No, if you use a bit of clean alcohol like Vodka into the sponge. It seems the alcohol sterilize reeds and stabilize them. Try it and let me know what do you think 🙂❤️🎷
@@Felicitysaxophonist thank you
She is Very a saxphonist wonderful
@@edynmunizsaxofonista 🙂❤️🎷
Thank you. That was wonderful. Appreciate !
You are welcome ❤️
Olá... felicity bom dia!
Bom Día ! 🙂❤️☀️🎷
This is a great video especially the tips about cleaning with vodka. I also noticed that reedjuvenate say to use Listerine original which is not available here in the UK anymore either. To clean my reeds I have used alcohol wipes (the kind they use to wipe skin before giving you a blood test). Because this is isopropyl alcohol it will kill microbes very effectively.
Just be sure the alcohol you use is also ok to ingest.
@@Felicitysaxophonist you are right good point. What I usually do is wipe the reed every now and again and the alcohol evaporates but then I always rinse my reeds under the tap before playing. However I really like the method with the jar and sponge you've shown and that way it means you can maintain the humidity level. Also vodka tastes better and makes me at least think I sound better after a couple of shots lol
@@mikem1517 😃😃😃😁😁
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 olá!!!
Music oh music
Grazie mille per il video Felicity! Molto utile per le ance, che purtroppo è sempre un problema. Il mio setup, Selmer mark vii, imboccatura Mayer 5, ance Vandoren Java Green 2,5.. 🎷💓😘😘
Fantástico! Spero di essere d’aiuto con questo video ! 🙂❤️🎷
Mashallah
Hi Felicity, What mouthpiece did you play on this video?
Verdot 7 by Barkley Brazil
Wonderful,..cute lady😍
Like your saxaphone want fast music and travelling music
Have you use paper napkins
No.
@@Felicitysaxophonist I think paper napkin is much hygienic to clean
If sponge piece is left in reed
I better take out Reed from vodca
I left last night
Que simpatia! que pessoa linda e tão graciosa... talento, beleza, feminilidade... uma dádiva em vê-la e ouvi-la! sucesso querida!
A sua beleza é semelhante à também linda Gal Gadot ( the wonder woman )
what brand of saxophone do you hav
Free Wind alto sax
펠리시티
좋은 정보 고마워요
아름다운당신의 연주 너무 멋집니다^^
들어주셔서 대단히 감사합니다
Hi Felicity love you can i know what model is your Saxophone please ❤❤❤🙂🎷
I play Free Wind by Amsterdam Winds ❤️😊🎷
@@Felicitysaxophonist thank you Felicity ❤❤❤
What sympathy! What a beautiful and so graceful person... talent, beauty, femininity... a gift to see and hear! Success dear!
Thank you very much for your kind comments ❤️😊🎷
Thanks for information. Looking forward to more.
Keith Wales 🧡😎
Yes, new video all about the mouthpieces is coming soon!
A very pro saxophonist should have a little bit of chemist and carpenter skills but also likes vodka😉! Precious suggestion, thanks ☺✨🎷
😂😂😂❤️🎷
Bjrs, t'ai une belle femme 🌹🎉❤
Would Vinegar work
I wouldn’t use it. It should be a high percentage of clean alcohol , without any additives like sugar. The point is to create sort of alcohol environment in the jar so it can conserve the reeds. I don’t recommend to soak reeds too much.
@@Felicitysaxophonist I put Saxophone Reed in Vodca last night one is Vandoran clean and other one has some mold
should I clean before putting into vodca
Should I put into vodca for five minute just before playing?
@@Felicitysaxophonist I will work hard to make tons of money ( international trading + ) and then I take you to Antarctica in my private jet and make love to make many wonderful children with you
you can be amazing mother and teacher love you so much ❤
@@Felicitysaxophonist we grow watermelons in Antarctica so lots of fresh stuff and then Caribbean private island in private Submarine to watch colorful fishes dancing 🧡 ♡ ❤
For me now the best "Legere. American cut". Always ready to play, no need to soak, they sound equally good in hot and cold weather, and the lifespan is 20-30 times longer than that of ordinary reeds.
I am in love with you
Hi. Mam.
