- How did I let this happen? I have become that guy. I've heard stories like this in the past, and I laughed wondering "how stupid must you be in order for this to happen?" Today, I have become that guy.

123-123 (and maybe octave key)
Big R.I.P to my sax. His name was Reginald 2.0 🙏🏽 Reginald 3.0 is on the way
f
Lets hope reginald 3.0 is better than 1.0 or 2.0 🙏
What could Reginald 3.0 be😯
F
When i was at band camp someone dropped another persons saxophone down the stairs
Lmao this started like an apology video “*sigh* *another sigh* I don’t know where to start”
Haha I was gonna name this “I just did something terrible” but I didn’t want it to make people panic and seem like I was the next Shane Dawson
*"I... am stupid"*
@@Saxologic did this man just say shane dawson.
A true legend
Imagine if this was all just an elaborate scheme to promote his friend’s mouth piece bags.
Lolll I totally ran over my sax on purpose to advertise some mouthpiece bags!
You must be working in marketing or something which involves manipulating people, right?
@@Saxologic laughing out loud loud loud? OH, that's how you become a big youtuber! lolll
man :( now he’s just ologic
Underrated comment
@Vasquez-Lopez Selim well now it does.
Hahahahahaha
Sucksologic until sax comes back lol
Well, if he ran over an o he'd become a rapper
We should start a gofundme for nathan's sax
Lololo I thought about it but that’s ok! I must accept this lesson
@@Saxologic I wish I could do more to support you, regardless. You don't deserve what happened to you!
Why wouldn't funeral work better?
@@jakman8515 yea
This happened to my girlfriend too, it was a soprano we named kenny.

OMG! They killed Kenny! You bastard! :)
First reading this I thought you said you ran over your girlfriend...
Supreme Dalex omg no lol I see it now though reading it again 😂
You ran over your girlfriend whose a saxophone 😬
Guess you could say Reginald 2.0 got TIRED- *cough* ok no, that's terrible... dude, as a random fan, I'm so sorry to hear about that. I hope the repair wait isn't too long. Hang in there!
Reginald is a martyr!!!
This is why I don’t drive. Don’t wanna accidentally drive over my sax.
Great reason! Screw a license.
This is why I don't play sax, so I don't run over my sax
@@grima5788 but i wanna be the best, the best there ever was! so we must collect them alllll! Instruments gotta collect them all!(sorry for the cringe)
Truly a tragic moment for a horn player during quarantine 😭
man this reminds me of a time i was walking off stage on a gig and my low C key and Eb got ROCKED by one of the sound guys rig drawers.....i had to play the other two sets with my lower stack all messed up.. I hope your repairmen fixes it correctly and fast. Much Love bro
Ryan Devlin Holy crap! The amount of panic you must have felt must have been terrible. Thanks for sharing teacher 🙏🏽
Saxologic oh ya man......I almost left...but I ended up powering through lol
Those professionally made visuals of you at Josh’s house really helps paint the picture of what happened, without those I would’ve only cried for 5 minutes instead of 10.
Good! Never stop crying
That’s actually legitimately good life advice
I did the exact same thing, except my sax was more off to the side, so I was able to drive off without hitting it. After I drove all the way home I realized what I had done, and I went back to where I had left it, but it was gone. Bottom line, about 6 months later a police detective called me and said that it had turned up at a local pawn shop, where I was able to buy it back for 450 bucks. Yippee
Wow that’s a crazy story haha
450 bucks ain't bad for a sax...
@@goddepersonno3782 except my parents already bought it for me brand new for 2500 back in high school.
Buy it back? I’m surprised that the police didn’t confiscate it as evidence of a crime and investigate whoever brought it to the pawn shop. Glad you got it back though.
@@jaykay1053 I wasn't legally allowed to report it as stollen since it was fault that I left it behind. So I just gave the serial number to the police. But the thrift shop shouldn't have been allowed to buy a sax with the same serial number that II immediately reported
My condolences. I'd cry if my instrument broke. Too many memories, too much time spent with it. It's more than just an instrument. I feel your pain.
“Woah what a hazard”- saxologic 2020
i was sad when my saxophone broke but damn, i'm playing a top F to pay respect sir :/
Hahaha playing a top F nice
Sorry bout the sax, really liked the animation though!
I am glad you liked my masterful drawings!
F in the chat for this man 😔
Nah. F#

One time I left my sax on the bus on the way to university. I realized that as soon as I got on the skytrain and then got off at the next stop (where the bus is supposed to stop as well) while on the phone with the transit company. Luckily they told me which bus it was on so I found it. Terrifying 30 minutes though.
Holy crap haha! Glad you got it back
i thought this was gonna be some prank... dang i’ll watch all your ads for you
For some reason, you accidentally running over your saxophone didn’t surprise me at all. Its just a “Nathan” thing 😂😂 great video brother!!!!
Bro this is me with my acoustic guitar. Threw my portable speaker to my bed. I was so tired from recording that day that I forgot the guit was sitting right there in the dark. Tore right through the whole side. She’s my baby. My life was shattered. Still is, still haven’t told anyone else. I feel your pain, and I’m sorry for your loss.
You can hear the sadness in his voice
"how could this have happened, were smarter than this!"
“My heart fell all the way to my butt” I felt the same way when I relied on my neck strap to hold my tenor sax (Maxwell). It was at band, as I reached for my reed the strap unhooked, Maxwell fell. Had to get two of the palm keys fixed, lesson learned! Hopefully Reginald 2.0 gets fixed soon.
I don't know if I should like or dislike this video. The video is great, but it's such a tragedy
I-I cant image this happening- to mine and that story scares me more- than my reeds breaking.
My reed explode in my mouth once because it was so thin but I forgot to bring money to but one
GW dAnG- that’s scares me more ;
It will be so worth it if he can check and or level your tone holes in the process.
Tim Randall He will and he is replacing all pads + adding resonators. I can’t wait to see what it becomes
I hope this is clickbait
Zak Shrieves I wish!
Saxologic rip
I'm so sorry my friend. This loss cuts deep, for you, and for all of us.
Holy shit dude, my heart sank as soon as I read the title. I'm amazed at how well you're keeping your cool, I'd go absolutely nuts if the same happened to my Mauriat. I would totally chip in to help buy you a new sax if you put out a patreon :)
Damn. I’ve been doing repair work for a while now and was going to ask if I could repair your horn but you got Ken to work on it! Your horn is in such incredible hands! The guy is a legend!
Ah sweet! I can’t wait to see what it becomes.
Let's just say that the Kart got its revenge.
RIP a legendary instrument, it brought us all much joy. We are very sorry for your loss
When I saw this I had to check my sax to make sure it was ok!
This has happened to me. I felt completely hopeless. What was encouraging is that after my tech managed to fix the banana body and everything ....my Alto became better than ever. It just speaks even better.... I hope you get it back really really soon!!!
Banana body lol!!! Thanks man I hope too!
You should have played the Mario kart lick on the broken sax
I’m so sorry for your loss
Lmaooo the closed captions say “[Applause]” at the beginning when he sighs
This makes me sad, but optimistic at the same time. Really liked the relationship you have with the people around you, especially your parents, I hope everything will turn out all right (or even better). :)
Thank you!
Jesus of course the Ferling survived. Its insatiable thirst for the pain and suffering of saxophonists transcends death itself.
😂 Ferling is immortal!!
Wait ferling is the book of etudes right?
If so ya boi is on number 11 😏
😂😂😂
I'm still on etude number 2 lmaoo
You should do more vlogs nathan, this was pretty fun to watch :D
Haha I actually made a few but they were such a flop I ended up deleting them
@@Saxologic btw man can u do a video on how to use a drone pitch unless you already have!
A friend of mine did this exact same thing to his trumpet, but it was in a VERY dark location. Same thing, though, a friend came up to say good night, drive carefully, and as my friend backed up, he heard it and KNEW what he had done. And it was his horn that he had saved up and sacrificed for while in high school, about 45 years before. He LOVED that horn. And drove over it lengthwise. He ended up sending it back to the factory, who pounded it out, but had to replace the bell, it was too far gone. Cost him far more than the horn originally did. But he was back to playing it the last time I gigged with him.
It's amazing what you can fix. Or should I say, you can pay very skilled people a lot of money to do amazing things and fix the messes you make. And thank whoever for that.
Happens to the best of us bro. Love your videos and hope your sax sounds better after the overhaul!
This is honestly so sad man, I literally don’t know how I hurt I would be if this happened to me lol. But on a good note, this “vlog” was super well made! Thoroughly enjoyed the video
Ken beason did some work on my horn when i got it, plays like a dream the man is a magic man
Oh no way! Heck yeah I am so excited
i’m sorry for the damage, best of luck with the repairs
Jeez, I would hate for that to happen to me. At least you found what sounds like a really good repairman. I'm honestly surprised that it wasn't in worse shape, I expected it to be completely flattened lol. Glad to see that it isn't too far beyond repair, hopefully you get it back soon.
Me too honestly! Thanks man I can’t wait
My first Sax was $600 new in 2010 (the cheapest new you could get in NZ at the time) and I learnt on it, performed on it and earnt money in shows and busking with it, it payed for itself many times over. In 2018 I hadn't zipped my case after packing it while chatting, and pulled it off a chair for a huge impact on the ground. Repair quoted $1200, so goodbye my friend you will be a lamp soon enough
Impressive lamp!
I am so sorry for your loss
I know Ken Beason, he was our NTSU sax repair guy ,back in 1982. He could take any horn and hot rod it! Metal tone boosters, Bare Brass, key swedging, tone hole leveling, you name it, he is the master!!
Regret is an inevitable consequence of life. If the metal is still there, the horn can be fixed. I picked up my case, was talking while packing up and didn’t fasten the latches. Rolled my Mk VI tenor out of the case onto the floor. I couldn’t eat for 3 days until I got it to Paul Maslin’s shop in Evanston. Paul repaired it, been playing it for 25 years without thinking of the incident.
I'm so sorry to hear about your horn but excited to see the overhaul! Hoping the withdrawals from not playing won't be too bad lol looking forward to following the rest of the story.
thats been a nightmare of mine for quite a while. Love your channel bro!!
I’m so sorry for your loss... A smash live stream does sound radicle though, and this repair/ modification seems very auspicious, hopefully you’ll be able to look back on this and have a laugh. Peace man.
You are a good man!
It was a very stressful moment but the fact that It might even work better is just amazing.
It’s pretty fun seeing your professor mentioned in a UA-cam video with a bit of admiration. Rick Keller teaches at my school and I really wish I wasn’t in such a deep playing rut when I studied with him because man he is such an incredible teacher, his teaching is as great as his playing if you could believe that and he’s such a humble guy. Funny how small the saxophone world really is!
Several years ago , I purchased an heirloom Conn Conquerer 30 M Tenor saxophone from an older gentleman who had it for decades. It was mint. These were very special horns with every bell ,whistle and adjusting screw you can imagine. The engraving was spectacular.The sound was enormous.
I started using it instead of my King Super 20. . I had changed vehicles and my loading procedure
was different. I backed up and was horrified to feel the bump and worse, the crunching sound.
I cried like a baby as I took the ruins into the house. I had run over , not the bell, but the body.
I took it to Jim Coleman our local tech master. Over the course of several months, he slowly massaged the metal a tiny bit at a time to restore the horn. He didn't detach any posts until the very end.
It played very well, but never quite as well as when I got it. Somehow the metal was stressed from the indignity. That is my fanciful interpretation. Now, I always double check.
Cheers.
🥺 Can't wait till it's fixed and the big reveal!
Wait WHAT
8:24 was a sad moment. The whole thing is sad but it sounds you'll make out better in the end. Good luck with the overhaul!!!
That was a sad story, but it makes me excited for the overhaul video
My condolences bro. Better 1 is coming soon. Love u dear
This reminded me of the the time when my tenor sax plastic case gig bag opened up in a hotel revolving door, and the USAF Selmer Mark 6 hit the ground!!! Right before our jazz band concert, I had to play the concert on a borrowed sax.
Ken Beason is AMAZING, I was lucky enough to meet him 30 years ago in Texas and he still remembered me! I just got back my YAS-855 from him and it plays sublime!!!
Broski, I am so sorry to hear this. Hurts my heart
I DID THAT WITH MY GUITAR! Got lucky though, it was fine and I still play it today. Sorry for your loss
Hey Yamaha. Send this dude your best sax. Upvote this so they see this.
Oh man, I am so sorry for you! I hope the overhall makes your horn even better than before! While I had a gig a microphone stand hit my octave key so hard that I could not play the low octave for the rest of the concert yeeyyy!
Hey man now you will have a great story to tell! Can’t wait to hear the horn once you get it back!
I feel you man I hope you get a new one or get it repaired, I went through a tiny bit of the same thing when I dropped and destroyed my mouthpiece. Hope everything works out 👍😔
Damn!! I had slightly hurt my saxophone before and it really felt bad. Cant imagine what THIS is like.. but thank godness you have a legend to bring reginald back to life!!
As a saxophone player hearing this is painful. I’m so sorry for your loss😔
The ending killlllllled me
God you're a hidden gem of a channel xD
Sorry for your loss
Also....I had a Selmer SA80 Series II Alto back in college....it was after Wind Ensemble I was principal Alto. I had a Protec gig case and for got to zip it. Flung it around my shoulder to head off.....and it flew out spinning to the ground on the tenon....the top twisted like a coke can. Palm key tone holes looked like footballs. Local repar guy charged me $90. Played great and he did a grest job. No creases that I ever noticed. Fun times.
I laughed out loud when you said you flung it around your shoulder 😂 I can only imagine the initial terror you felt when you realized what you had done!
I’ve done it too. Distracted as well. But my heavy Selmer case protected it. One of my vintage Selmer mouthpieces has a flat part on the scroll shank because I dragged the case rather than completely running it over. Tore the case cover up. Still use the case and the alto that I’ve had since 1991 as my primary alto. Best of luck with the new improved sax!
I was a bass clarinet player back in high school and on my way back from a competition my precious Apollo fell out from under the bus in the middle of an intersection and got plastered by a mini van. Some kids from another school actually got it and brought it to me the next day. It was horrible. It was in bits of metal and wood. Very sad day. The lead art teacher at the school got it and made a modern art piece out of it that now sits above the director's piano in his office.
I play bass clarinet now and I almost just cried. That’s a horrifying beginning but a kinda cool ending. Were y’all able to get a new one?
Wholly cow, I take my horn to Ken! He's a beast, man. I dropped my VI a few years ago and the body of the horn actually dented towards the bow. He totally fixed it and more that I didn't even know was wrong. Tell him hey for me if you feel thusly inclined!
Oooh ok I am excited!
Car took a giant step on his sax
I would have cried for several days if I did something like this I have no idea how you managed to stay composed throughout the video lol
Damn that’s one bad speed bumps
Yep! I did that years ago in the winter. I was enjoying the sound of breaking ice puddles under my rear tire when I realized it was my Muramatsu flute. I feel your pain.
Truly tragic to hear stay strong my guy ❤️ 🎷
Hope everything will be better than before!
Just bought one of the mouthpiece bags for my tenor mouthpiece, honestly worth spending the last bit of my paycheck 💀
Woooo!! I’ll tell her
Ahhh thanks so much! I just put it in the mail haha I'm the person who makes them btw😂
Kathleen Harris I’m sure I’ll enjoy the product!
Thanks for sharing this experience so that we have a lower chance of experiencing this ourselves.
Ahhh so sorry man. Good on you for telling it straight to your parents. Also if course the voxman survived lol
I'm very sorry for your loss 😢
Ooops! I know this feeling you got as I too ran over my brand new lap top the same way. Sadly my screen was lop sided. This happened to me 23yrs ago. But I still know that feeling. Brrr....so glad you got it fixed.
Someone hit my professional sax with a metal music stand, now the neck has a dent. Awesome. Let's pray we don't need a Reginald 4.0 lol
Brother, I feel your pain. Hang in there.
Amazing security video of you taking the sax to the car. Sharp video
this was made a while back, but I felt your pain, it is understood.
I’m glad you’re able to maybe get it fixed though which is good
I told my dad who plays sax what happened since I’ve watched some of your vids with him, His jaw dropped and he said he felt pain for you but knows Reginald 3.0 will be 10000x better so he’s excited to see and hear it as much as I am 😭 🙏🏾
We will wait in great anticipation together 🙏🏽
When I saw this wasn’t a joke my heart sunk. Prayers go out to Reginald
big rips, hope everything works and out and you can get a new, better sax
