    And i actually really like the left pinky cluster. Reminiscent of the bundy IIs and of course the original, Selmer Balanced Action.

    Both sound great. For over 25 years now I've had the chance to play pretty much every model of Yamaha saxophones going back to the early 90s and on, and they truly are incredible instruments when in proper regulation.

    The "unlacquered" horn looks like it is just standard brass with clear lacquer and just doesn't have a color to it. Yes or no? It definitely does not look like the unlacquered horns that have been on the market recently.

    • @schmittmusicsaxophoneshop4451
      @schmittmusicsaxophoneshop4451 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, it definitely looks different than a lot of the unlacquered horns out there. Unlacquered can have a lot of different looks, but the most popular recent ones are patina'd ahead of time, so they look darker. This one isn't, so it'd look darker over time as it's exposed to the elements. Our newer version that we should have in soon has a patina applied, so it'll look a little darker. Good question, thank you!

    Hey Pete, thanks for all this information on how to navigate over chord changes. I've got two questions; you keep saying concert keys but you don't transpose for tenor? Bit of a rookie but what's your mouthpiece/reed setup? Thank you.

    • @peterwhitman8629
      @peterwhitman8629 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If I say concert Bb, that would be the key of C for tenor. I am calling out concert keys since the workshop is tailored for all instruments. See the handouts indicated in the description above for the discussed tunes and topics for Bb instruments which would include the tenor sax. I play all kinds of mouthpieces. The one I am playing in this video is an ARC made by James Bunte. I tend to use Rigotti jazz reeds on this set-up. -Regards!

  • @thomascousins9150
    @thomascousins9150 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I've tried a lot of mouthpieces but for tenor I always come back to my Morgan 6L and it works for all the different kinds of music. My second choice is the Selmer short shank C**. Do you have any opinions yourselves about the Morgan mouthpieces?

  • @rogersalles200
    @rogersalles200 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I bought a Signature Selmer tenor and I have to say it is way better than any vintage horn in every way- I also play a 1963 Mark VI that is way above average compared to other VIs, perfect intonation and the Signature still wins, I won`t get rid of my VI but my point is...these new Selmer Tenors are fantastic in every way, Selmer finally got rid of the old line of saxophones that kept them in the middle of the pack for years, the Supreme and signature tenors put Selmer where they should be.

    @Sephirothmmd 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm an ex Turkish clarinet player and I just started to play the saxophone. I'm used to reeds which are even softer than 1 and I can produce a stuffy sound with it. I bought a legere 2.25 reed and even that feels too strong for me. I'm gonna try the vandoren zz 1.5 now. Any suggestions?

    • @FruityPebbles-420
      @FruityPebbles-420 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Vandoren is a bit harder than other reeds in my experience. I've had some from Vandoren that were way too hard for my tip opening, as well as too soft. So, maybe something that is made from Rigotti cane or single origin cane could give you better consistency, and a better idea of where you actually are on reed strength.

    Great video. I went from using a berg Larsen 105/1 to a super jet 10 on alto. I loved the superjet but then my embochure was getting tired so I went to a 7. It felt good. I recently bought a DV alto7 and have been experiencing with reeds, Boston Sax shop 2.5,3 and waiting on a Venn 2.5 to arrive to try it. I think I may need a DV8 cuz I feel the DV7 too close. Or do I need to adjust my playing habit? I play Norteño music and the main piece on that are bergs but I wanted something different
