- Tianjin Shengdi Music sent me a Singer's Day alto saxophone and it looks great! I really like the look of the bell and the mother-of-pearls. My sax collection is steadily growing...

My soul:
Gone
Whoa... I didn't mean to go that deep.
Sorry for the dark turn.
I still have my soul... I think?
Haha I am just messing with you!
It's definitely gone.
Wow, you actually read the description?
I am very impressed.
There is still 25 minutes left to uploading this video.
You know what that means? It's time to ramble.
Rambling kills time.
Once this is up, I can sleep in peace.
UA-cam is very time consuming!
But, I love it.
I am not sure if there is anything I'd rather do.
Though, I wouldn't mind being a saxophone professor!
But we got a while to go before I can even think about that.
Other than that, yeah I wouldn't rather do anything else lol.
Except like, tour in a band with my brother.
Wouldn't that be awesome? Saxologic X ZackGrooves.
It will happen one day. Mark my words.
What do you think of the format of this video?
I took a bit of a different approach. It's more straight-to-the-point, allowing me to have a shorter video with more edits.
But it's hard to tell what people want. Do people want short, compactly edited videos? Or my classic style of videos? Or short loosely-edited videos?
I'm sure a mix of all, but I always feel guilty posting 20+ minute videos. I feel like most people don't feel like watching that. I thought the Chad LB video of us playing Smash would be a hit. It probably would have been if it wasn't 40+ freaking minutes.
If this newer style is preferred, that is good news for me, because it would take a lot less time.
Hey guess what?
Since you're one of the elites that is actually reading this far, I'll take it that you are 0.0001% of people. YOU are special.
Because of this, I'll give you... my secret Instagram account.
It is: / sheddbro
In this account, I just post videos of me shedding (practicing).
Why do I keep it secret, you ask?
Well, truth is, fame scares me!
My playing is not at a point where I am ready to broadcast it to tens of thousands of people. It's just not.
But the Mario Kart lick shoved me into the arena anyway so now I don't really have a choice.
In any way I can, I try to be as private as I can, as I carry on in the practice room, hoping for the day that I am ready to go all out.
Going for big views scare me! But it pays... so it's a constant tug of war.
It's easy to think of viral video ideas. I could make a Tik Tok and play the Mario Kart Lick in various stores/settings, do an Omegle video playing licks for people, or make 999 Classical/Jazz Snob episodes, etc...
But that would mean more eyes on me. That terrifies me. I like views for the $, but, the more and more that time goes on, the value of money really declines.
Money does not bring you happiness. It's so true. I finally understand.
But UA-cam is my literal job so I can't like, stop. lol
And I don't really want to stop either. I love UA-cam! I have been a UA-cam fiend for over 13 years now.
Remember when Smosh was number 1? And then Fred came out of no where and beat them to 1 mil? Then NigaHiga beat Smosh too? LOL
Now Smosh has turned into crap. Literally wtf has it become? It became so bad that Anthony Padilla left. Can't blame the guy.
Boxmannnnn. Box maaaaaan!!!!!
7 minutes of upload time left. Wow this rambling is working!!!!
If you have read this far... please comment what kind of videos I make are your favorite? That way I'll keep in mind what you guys prefer when I am brainstorming for more vids!
Sometimes I write subliminal messages like: "If you see this, comment '2222,'" which is cool for a moment then I realize 50% of my comments are 2222 and I'm like oh no what have I done?
Whoa, take a look at that '2222,'" up there. So many little markings. Imagine an alien race discovering our writing, and they see stuff like that. How long would it take them to break it down and understand why I put all those apostrophes? Would they ever truly understand without our teaching? It's hard to say.
3 minutes left!!!!
Wait a second I forgot to make a thumbnail LOL
Let me go do that.
All right, you elite human specimen. Thank you for reading.
Take care of yourself. Don't stay up late. It's bad for you!!!!! :D
“It’s definitely the reeds fault” classic excuse that we’ve all used at least once. Also loved the kingdom hearts reference.
Aye you noticed ;)
IT'S CRAZY HOW YOU CHANGE BETWEEN CLASSICAL AND JAZZ
THANK YOU AND I LIKE UR PROFILE PIC
@Jon Jukoba damn bro man disrespectful
God bless you
Its nice to see sax players be honest about the quality of these products when they aren't what they should be. I appreciate this. I'd have a repair person go through it thoroughly for leaks. I had HUGE QC issues with 2 cheap Chinese saxes from a single company
It’s great to have honest reviewers like yourself. Love your content
Thanks for checking it out :)
I’d feel too guilty if I lied!
Y'all need to sub to sivalorsax he drops real knowledge on the sac and even helped me out with intonation within the band
Nice to see a true pro commenting!!!!
@@Saxologic appreciate that honesty
also my favorite videos of yours are probably these unboxing and reviews to be honest. Although I think it would be cool to see a day in the life or something
"It was definitely the reed's fault" - Saxologic, December 2020
It’s the composition master himself
The editing on this video is amazing
Thank you!
@@Saxologic hey there...i heard you say you have a Yamaha 62...ive been playing one since high school in 1985....love it! I love the price of this Singer...but not impressed with the low octave issues. Love your channel!
@@Saxologic what software do u use?
@@Saxologic ua-cam.com/video/UIGsSLCoIhM/v-deo.html
Can you do a cover?
The balls he has to post this video even when he stated how “unique” the saxophone he got sent was
Honesty is everything :D
I was watching this in class and the “this mouthpiece reed combo is among the worst I’ve ever tried in my life” made me bust out laughing
Did you get in trouble? I am sorry :0
@@Saxologic nah I survive
@@Enderrock424 noice
I read all of your description! I'm a sophomore clarinet performance major, and I feel like I'm constantly nervous about my future. Music is the only thing that I want to do, but it's terrifying to imagine how few jobs are available sometimes. That being said, being a music major is incredibly rewarding and probably the best decision of my life! I love your videos where you just practice, transcribe, or review something (like a saxophone). Have a nice day!
These are definitely my favorite kind of videos you post, they're really honest and fun.
I really appreciate your honesty instead of just saying, hey it’s good. buy it no question.
These Sax unboxing vids are the most satisfying thing ever
It's great that you gave an honest review
You’re literally underrated. You deserve more publicity
I love your style and humor💕
This is why I love this channel. You talk very mature and stuff and then just randomly it gets me cracking up like at 9:20
The description is gold
I love your videos because you inspire me to practice! I started playing trumpet 6 months ago and I've progressed very quickly (also because my first instrument was the piano) in learning because watching you tackle difficult licks makes me think as a beginner, if this guy who has been playing saxophone for a really long time is struggling with this lick, it's perfectly fine for me to struggle with an (easy) Jazz Standard.
P.S. I totally relate to your video description, my lecturer is a Sax genius whose played with a lot of great Jazz players around the world and the first time I recorded alongside him for a very easy song, I was literally trembling as he was listening to me play trying not to mess up. Eyes add pressure but you are my inspiration and keep going!
(Thank you for the elite compliment!)
Love the Wind Waker sound effect... Such gold!
Very entertaining channel Mr Saxlogic. Can see you put a lot of work into each clip. I'm a very new saxophonist and most of your teaching goes over my head, for now. But i still find your channel educational and entertaining. Thanks for all your hard work.
dude i love your slightly longer videos, it allows for a real deep dive into the topic and i always finish them inspired to shed for hours :)
2222
you are the best saxophone channel ever!
How is your channel free, this channel has to be worth a lot of money, it’s just so good.
I started saxophone today, mainly because of your channel! I love jazz and am a bassist, so I really wanted to get a sax to play more jazz!
Love the description
I respect the honesty. I hope the company can take the key points from this video to improve their product 😁
I love how the description is normal until you get past the links, then it just chronicles the man's descent into madness
Could always be a game changer to have a repairer look at it too, especially for leaks. Some instruments come in rough shape from the start, but have a lot of potential with some minor fixes
Wholesome description
Which type of video do you make that I like the most? Man, I can’t really answer. You’re so much younger than me, but I find your progress and ability to communicate inspirational. You have solved so many challenges for my students because you are just so easy to follow and you are very engaging.
Add to that that you are a quite competent player, and I’m watching every video you post. Thanks for everything you share!
What an awesome compliment. Thank you for the kind comment; I am very glad I could have been any kind of help. Thanks for letting me know :)
You’re the man!
I've been thinking of a singers day baritone. Great review.
I really liked the style of this video!
I'm excited for the Tenor
"This beautiful sax is only $500?!" "Also, it's kind of trash?!"
The Bb key is connected by double wire to make it sit stiffer. Also it doesn't produce B flat sound but rather quarter tone sharper tone.
Im hype for the tenor review
Singerday I love em
I do know that SIngers Day makes a killer Bari Sax so if you do look for a bari in the future, check out the singers day!
This is true
Have you played it yourself or is this based on Jay Metcalf's BetterSax Review of it?
@@adamschorr2301 I’ve heard it play plus jays review
Great video!!
I bought myself a Singers Day soprano sax a few months ago, and it's been great for me.
But yeah, I am definitely using my own mp/reed setup, not the stock ones that came with it.
@sockrepairman how's the singer's day soprano now? Is it still working well?
You and your brother are awesome!! How do y’all have creative minds? Especially making videos funny or editing them in a funny way💀😂
Great Review Nathan!
Snow day tomorrow time to binge saxopogic
Those ending scenes are amazing!
Thank you it is a form of self cleansing my spirit.
@@Saxologic haha
him doing the classical etudes, the subtitles *laughter*
I think where these cheaper saxes usually get their criticism is longevity; I think a '6 months later' review might actually be really interesting, if you had that kinda time to actually play the thing haha. Great review as always!
The bell is the low Bb tonehole. Since they made the bell bigger, of course it's sharp. For Bb to not be sharp, they needed to make the bell longer!
Great ending 10/10
Thank you it’s a form of self expression
WHEN IS THE TENOR COMINGGGGG!!! Im so excited for it, we wanna see tenor madnesssss hehe😉
I must say.
I honestly don't know what
"I must say."
Hey man you say what you must.
Nice description
Omg he played a Classical, music piece🤩
I’m working on Paginini’s Caprice No. 1. Looking forward to uploading that one!
OMG ! I'm getting the Baritone Saxophone from them
This Video ist amazing!
keep in mind, new saxes take time to "break in". That could be the reason for sharpness of the lower range in which your using the full body of the saxophone to get out the sound. This is more of a theory if anything but still could explain it
2222. That entire ramble was delectable and thoroughly enjoyable 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice job with the review i love that octave key, 2222.
Thanks for being honest
I bought a Soprano from Singer’s day an it is Amazing!! Pitch is perfectly in tune for 500 USD
Can i ask if you are still happy with singer's day soprano after 2years? Wish to hear honest feedback from real user. Thank you 😊
I know next to nothing about music. However I find saxologic's information very interesting.
idk why I just read the entire description but I did. I don't regret it. btw I like these kinds of vids more
I love your awesome videos 😍
Thank you!
I checked out the website. The website states the following: "Expanded the bell to 128mm allows you to produce a bigger sound with a core that is full of rich overtones."
Assuming there isn't a one-off issue like having pad leakage or needing the pad heights adjusted, if they expanded the bell, that seems like a likely culprit why the low notes are out of tune, which means its a fundamental design flaw with the Sax. Wow!
I used to take from Daniel Loudenback at band camp in high school haha hearing him playing in one of your videos is weird but really cool :D
anyone else love the ending
Amazing description
Thank you mysteriously named person!
@@Saxologic not mysterious just Hebrew..🇮🇱
In the day I act like I’m a dumb band student. At night I shine.
"Let's go and change the scenario real quick."
**ad is loading**
amazing video dude
Thank you. Mew is my most played character in smash!
Great review! You get what you pay for!
You can NEVER have too much saxophones
this is absolutely great. i love your channel haha
i haven’t played sax as long as a lot of y’all on here but it’s great to know i am not the only person who loves it as much as i do!
also you are freakin hilarious
Looks great. Always love the duel arm design. You should try that low Bb with a traffic cone
Does it enhance the sax experience? I shall find a cone.
i am indeed an elite human specimen and tbh your tutorial vids are some of my favorites
Glad to hear that. Have a lot coming soon!
I read the whole description 🤭
Wow, a famous person watched me ramble for 25 min. Thanks!
I like the editing style of this video. Even if have to say it 2222 times before it comes through.
So glad to hear that! I’ve been really hesitant on straying from my usual video style. Slowly evolving
btw! that is the same brand that makes the budget bari sax from BetterSax's video!
Early gang stand up!!
I am standing (now going to sleep)
Definitely heard" the lick"
Thought this was gonna be the better sax saxophone, this is sick too tho!
You should take a look at the Jean Paul as-400
You changed my scenery into gelato and Apple Card ads
Smooth move, Sax man
read the description :D
I’m more of a fan of shorter videos either compactly or loosely edited, but I like all your videos! 2222
Playing it fast and loose with that knife there dude! Made me nervous lol!
Yes! Ok, so I’ve heard that their Bari’s are REALLY REALLY GOOD! Dude, they gotta send you a Bari to do a review. Perk: you would then own a Bari!!!
You should try a yanagisawa
Can you make a review of the better sax alto saxophone?
I heard that "relax, I'm joking" in 0:33 xD
thanks for the video, whats the ligature you are using and mouth piece please
Great! Now, what is the music being played while unpacking? Thank you.
The intonation issues in this saxophone are very similar to these i have in rented selmer sa 80 serie 2... Which my school bought for over 5000$...
Saxophones can be annoying when it comes to intonation haha
If you're reviewing products, give us short sweet to the point reviews. Like 10 minutes is perfect.
If you're breaking down a sweet lick then take as much time as it takes. We'll watch all day
Interesting! So was this a good amount or was this not to-the-point enough? I literally have no idea what ppl want haha
@@Saxologic This is good.
BRO I USE THAT SAME TUNER
Try the Jean Paul Alto Sax Silver Plated.
Love your videos. Thinking about getting a sax for a while now...think the e-star would suit me best
You’re a drummer looking to play sax? Awesome!!
@@Saxologic hell yeah !!!
Would like to know what you think of the new BetterSax alto.
nice
What do you think of this horn for playing jazz?
Early gang... also really smooth
Sleep schedule master. What is it like?
“Let’s send the dude the in tune one ☝️, that’ll help the sales” lol
Have you thought about giving a sax away to one of your amazing subs that would be dope!!!
