    Yamaha custom Z is sooo fluent. Yamaha tenors are great, i have an old Silver YTS 62 1990's, repadded and all my Mark VI friends want it ! Mind you Yamaha 82ZUL Altos are also very good, listen to Phil Woods. But Tenor and Alto saxophones are two different beasts... And don't get me started on sopranos!

    Your mark 6 sounded the best to my ears because it had a rounder sound with the high edges smoothed off and the Yamaha custom Z was a close second because the sounds had that classic vibrato sexiness you can almost feel in your chest.

    @jongoforth1405 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Well, a good60k VI is almost impossble to equal, let alone better. But to me, the 36 and interestingly, the Rampone & Cazzane are the most interesting sounding new horns. They're all really good. No doubt about the value of the Yamaha. Or, for that matter, a Yanagisawa. But that said, a later VI (>140k) is in the same price range, and I've played some stunning 200k horns. You said it, Jon, early on. It's what one likes. You sound great on all of them-no one in their right mind would say, "Oh-that's not working." You could cut an album with any of em and I'd buy it!

  • @u2b83
    @u2b83 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You can invert that and instead "pull your top lip out of the mouthpiece" [when playing pedal notes]. Using my top lip worked great for low notes on the trombone, but on tuba, my lower lip is much more consistent in the E0 register, In fact I can't hit E0 using my top lip but can consistently play E0 and even D0 with my bottom lip. It took me years to adjust, but now I'm an upstream player on low brass and even sound better on high brass, by simply using more lower lip. In my case, my upper lip is more fleshy and flabby than my lower lip.

  • @AJ_MD
    @AJ_MD 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Are you playing the Couesnon with a French Taper mouthpiece? Usually intonation complaints of the "Queenie" are caused by this.. wrong taper. If you want to play 'small morse (bach) taper on a Couesnon, you need a Melk/GR leadpipe.

  • @cggambill
    @cggambill 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Played a VI for 60 years. Aside from the sound, it fit my hand like no other. As if I was joined to it at birth. The sound of it and every VI I've ever heard has a softness/sweetness to it like no other. This video didn't change that fact. It sounds like no other.

    Which instrument is it? It sounds much different when I play on my buffet b12 with same mouthpiece and reed.

    • @VirtuosityMusicalInstruments
      @VirtuosityMusicalInstruments 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As best I can recall it is a R13. It is recommended to only make comparisons between the videos in this specific series, rather than trying to compare to real life sound, or other recordings. In this way, enough variables are controlled that it is possible to draw some general conclusions (same mics, same player, same instrument, same room, same excerpts, same distance, etc.). If you have access to try different mouthpieces, or are in the Boston area and can visit our shop to do so, that would be the best way to find the optimal match for your specific embouchure, reeds, ligature, and instrument.

  • @Sherman1fan
    @Sherman1fan 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Haven't taken my D valve off my 822G, always need it, but agree it would free up the horn a lot.

  • @Sherman1fan
    @Sherman1fan 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I use a Griego Deco 2 on my 822G, no problems, just the cup tires me out. I go back to a Yamaha 59G, feel the same (rim) but just a bit shallower. I use either/or depending on what is needed. I played on a 612, that also "swallows" the mouthpiece, but never really hampered my playing. The new Yamaha 835 does not swallow the mouthpiece, they changed it to more "traditional" depth that is the most common.

    • @VirtuosityMusicalInstruments
      @VirtuosityMusicalInstruments 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yep, the mouthpiece engagement on the Yamaha basses was quite particular for a while. Some pieces work fine/are unaffected, while others can be quite affected. I'm a fan of the Hecht 1.5 O as an alternative to the Classic, Markey, GP, etc. for more endurance (and more Trombone 3 type parts). It's really a bit more like a 2 in size than a 1.5 iirc.
