Do the Yds has speakers? Thanks. Can I play and hear it with out headphones or amplifier? Thanks.

I LOVE my mopane wood R13. After about six months, it's just getting smoother and smoother.

Thank You for your this video I was interested to hear the new Buffet. God bless you. Bill. Uk

Beautiful display of this instruments amazing warmth and depth. thank you guys for helping me feel quite a bit more secure in my choice, totally going with the 10

get a better demo player

Does Bach make a medium. 525 slide with large shank leed pipes. I know Shires does. I'd be really curious to know if that was an option with the Bachs as well.

Since this mouth piece and reed to not function as on a real saxophone, must you wet the reed before playing the Yamaha YDS 150 digital saxophone? It's a simple question yet I can't seem to find this answer anywhere. Hopefully, you can provide an answer. Thank you.

il sax emette solo un suono... Aiuto

non funziona il reset??

Great info on these beautiful instruments.

Very informative. Nice work 👏

Thanks for your well informed and detailed video. Selmer saxes are great horns. I’ve had my Selmer Reference Alto for almost 20 years and still love it. I also have my YAS-23 from my high school days that it’s also good, but definitely needs a full overhaul, but nevertheless, a great horn. What alto and tenor saxes are popular at your shop? Do you carry the Trevor James and the P Mauriat models?

Thanks for this great video!

I know you were warmed up for the mopaine and that might be why it sounds so much warmer and fuller. Still, I do love the way the way you make the mopaine sound! If you don't mind, I have a question about clarinets in general I'd like to ask. I play as a hobby, and I do it on an old E-11 I kept from high school (the version without the bell ring). Even though there are much better clarinets from a technical and a quality control standpoint, like the R13, I still prefer the E-11; because it has a sort of a bite when I play, that gives my blowing substance and lets me fill and warm the sound in a way that higher tier clarinets just don't allow. The ability to do more with the instrument just doesn't overcome that lack of feedback, and the sense that I'm not really working with an instrument that has a part in producing the sound. Are there better clarinets I can move up to that sort of bite, or push back, or bring a substance when they're blown like like the E-11 does?

I live in Michigan, but my son lives 2 miles away . Was in the shop a year ago and will be in next week. Looking to upgrade from a beginner’s horn. Keep up the good work and will see you soon. Jim

I tried very hard to make sure that the playing and setup were consistent between each instrument. I believe what you’re hearing is the wood difference!

Whoa! The mopaine sounds so much cleaner.and richer. Was it the wood or the playing?

sorry ...sounds like a goose !

Wow🎉

I too own both the Yamaha YDS-150 and a Roland AE-10... I should say I am primarily a vocalist in a Classic Rock cover band, and was an intermediate sax player at my best when I was younger - these days I no longer play an acoustic sax AT ALL in the band. I mention this because "real sax players" will not benefit from my comments so much, and that I use my two for more than "just practicing on" - I actually perform on these! Of the two, I have spent about 10x more time on my AE-10 since I bought it a few years ago, vs several months ago on the Yamaha. What I like about the Yamaha is: 1) the feel of the keys - being much more like an acoustic saxophone - and are comfortable... one of the keys requires a bit more pressure than it should, but I wonder if that is something in the tolerances and quality control (?), 2) it looks cooler than the Roland, 3) it sounds closer to a real sax than the (standard sax sounds) of the AE-10. Things I prefer about the Roland: 1) Much better display and you can change parameters directly on the instrument (the Yamaha requires a phone app and the details are handled remotely); 2) a total of 4 octave keys (two higher and two lower) - which is really handy as you can actually skip palm keys if you prefer and simply press the next higher octave key and finger the "natural note fingering" - (Yamaha should add this to the next gen YDS!), 3) Better display - I play about 10 voices in my cover band on the AE-10 (flute, violin, Bari Sax, 3x Tenor Sax, 2x Alto Sax, Soprano Sax, harmonica)... These are user assigned and I can "name each voice" and it is in the display so I know I have the right one... the Yamaha simply shows U1, U2, etc. so harder to remember). Why 3x Tenor sax's? Each one is in a different "key" so I can play all my favorite songs in the key that is easiest for me to finger... again "real sax players" will call this cheating, but at my age, I go for the easiest path that gets the job done! I hope this was helpful! Cheers!

Un son de m....

Does it play, I hear they aren’t set up to play from the factory…if I’m going shell out 8 Grand..I’m going to find a Mark 6

How much do they cost through your shop?

Hello Très bon instrument facile à l’émission .Réponse sur toute la tessiture. Je possède un de la série . Très bon investissement

How mutch price bro

Qual valor ? Quero comprar !

Serial #69. That's gotta increase the value I'd think.

Wes, I take music lessons from the great saxophonist Julian Smith. Christmas '21, as a tribute to all Julian has done for me, I bought him a YDS-150. The day he opened it, as a gift to his fans, he reproduced a song he did on video. Here is the professionally produced video he made in Turkey, you really need to hear it first, before you hear the version he plays on the YDS-150, this is the link to that video. th-cam.com/video/inERAUH-qS4/w-d-xo.html This next link is to the song played on the YDS-150. th-cam.com/video/Ns1UiV3Ev-0/w-d-xo.html This instrument gets such bad reviews by so many people, however you seem to give it a positive spin. That is what a $1000 worth of technology can do in the right hands, and I think it is absolutely amazing. New tech is always going to have some naysayers, I am just surprised this instrument has drawn so much criticism. It cost about as much as a good student quality instrument, and it offers the sound of at least 4 saxophones. I drove to Austin and picked one up from someone that bought it during the lockdown and just lost interest. It came with no manual, and I guess it comes with no power supply either. I tried a USB plug with a random adapter, it didn't really offer the power needed to keep the instrument playing, and the batteries were low so it kept shutting down. It freaked out the seller when I put the batteries in where we met to conclude the transaction, and started shredding the infamous Baker Street solo. Is there a particular power supply will resolve the external power issue? You did not show the case. I like the case, it even has a diagram inside it case on how to properly store the instrument.

Beautiful horn! Love the bell art engraving! Looks very art deco! 😁👍🏻

Clearly first prize for optical ugliness 🙄

I got a Yamaha one

What about intonation ? For me the crusual part of any instrument. With a good Set up you can make any saxophone sounds good. But you can't change the intonation.

I played this exact horn when i was in houston and visited the shop around christmas or the new year, it played like a dream!! The high notes came out clear but not too bright, and the low notes were very full and rich. The intonation was also amazing, the best on any sax I've tried. This sax is one hell of a player, and it looks beautiful as well!!

I bought my YDS-150 as soon as it became available, but had to give it up. Yamaha has a great concept there, but the key switches are poorly designed and some of them require a lot of pressure to make contact. The required squeezing is very unhealthy and can easily cause hand and tendon injuries as well as contributing to poor technique. Even though the Roland Aerophones (I play the AE-10) have more primitive looking buttons instead of keys they work far better than the YDS-150 keys and are much healthier for your hands and tendons. I do prefer my Emeo to the Roland because its keys are actual saxophone keys, but it is significantly more expensive and I really do like the Roland Aerophone.

Are all of those the same specs, except material?

How much does that trombone cost?

Very good

Good morning. Thanks for the description of YDS 150. A curiosity! Is it possible to emulate the sound of a violin with this instrument?

Thanks for detail introducing.

Lo strumento dopo un anno non suona più ed è ingestibile, soprattutto sul cambio di semitono fa/fa# , sol sol#,la campana del sax risulta molto lunga ed e' sempre svitata ,in pratica 900 € buttati ,sconsiglio vivamente l’acquisto ,e penso che la Yamaha per serietà come azienda dovrebbe ritirare lo strumento e risarcire gli acquirenti che si trovano in mano un affare che non suona

🙏🎷 very good morning sir Alto saxophone how much cost to replace her Hyderabad speaking contact number phone number WhatsApp number

Mark Hughes’ selecting this horn at the factory does add value to the instrument - you know it’s going to be a “player”.

That really cool! I have a serious question though (not trying to troll). Wouldn’t inhalation of carbon fiber carry similar risks as inhaling fiber glass? Like once the outer coating wears away?

I hope that there are not longer lacquer problems at the Bell Ring aerea 😟

👍🏻🤙

Can I have it

You have to try the EMEO, which is far superior in all respects

Do you recommend this for beginner?

didn't say anything about them so...here goes...for anyone interested...the B1 was the first model Ren Schilke made in 1956, it was HIS personal model-some names that use/d the B1 include Arturo Sandoval, Lin Biviano, Marvin Stamm & Willie Murillo...the B1 starts at .460 and gradually increases to a big .468 with a large yellow-brass bell...the B5 has a straight .460 bore all through the instrument with a ML copper bell, it produces a bright, compact sound-used by Rick Baptist...the B6 has a .450 bore that has .455 in the valves, .463 in the slides and a .463 bell stud with a ML copper bell...this horn produces a bright nimble sound with lots of edge-popularized by Bill Chase and Jon Faddis (though they used one like I use with a tuning bell and beryllium-copper bell, which is a lighter weight of copper), the B7 is like the B6 but with a L yellow-brass bell, this model is what the Yamaha 6310 & 8310Z horns are based upon. The X3 has a .462 bore throughout the horn with a L yellow-brass bell...Arturo used this model for a while in both a fixed and tuning bell as did Wayne Bergeron and Eric Miyrashiro

The music is too loud.
