You sound so good on the horn bro! So glad you’re digging it!!
Bro Chad you’re the best if you’re ever doing another concert in SLC let me know
Chad's out there putting Horseheads on the map even if fans don't know or care! We didn't know each other since i was a freshman when you were a senior but people always ask me if I know you. Your playing inspires me to be a better tuba player in my own lane.
Make one for bari
I gotta say, every saxalogic upload truly feels like a gift
Agreed
Thanks Nathan!!! So fun hanging with you! 👍 ❤ 🎷
8:50 Yoooooo that moment was golden lmao
Always great to see when you drop a new video!
It’s always a good day when Saxologic posts!
Hi nathan, love ur vids! keep it up!
Hey bro, just watched yall last night in Houston at White Oak. Yall killed it! It was nice meeting yall. Excited to see yalls musical journey.
yessir as always its never a bad day when nathan uploads
You play great man awesome video!
Hey Nathan, really great demo. Chad was here last week and sounded fantastic on the Nexus and so do you. I want one! Good luck on your tour. Come teach jazzGym once in a while. Love and much respect. ❤️😎🎷 Cy in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
Awwwwww, I do love these horns and think I will have to get one.
I've been waiting for a Nexus Review lol
Maybe it’s just a thing with Mark VIs, but since I got my Balanced Action and have been playing it for the last three months or so, I really haven’t experienced any notable issues with intonation. I spent many hours on my previous horn, an Eastman 52nd Street, shedding long tones and working on my ear so that I could play really well in tune, so it’s possible that I’ve been compensating and not really thinking about it or noticing, but I don’t feel like I’m doing much differently or working any harder from an intonation standpoint. To my ear, the BA has a soft, sweet quality that reminds me of Paul Desmond and Lee Konitz, two major sound inspirations for me, and just has that something special going on. This is not a knock on modern horns either, I love my Eastman as well! I just haven’t experienced the intonation struggle that many people refer to with the vintage Selmers.
The 'couch monolouge'... that was way to hilarious .
Nice video.
I’m getting a Nexus!! 🎷!!! ❤!!!
Id love to see you play a nexus bari when/if they make one!
I hope one day I can get a nexus saxophone ❤
Nathan can also balance things let's goooooo! 💚🤣👍
Lets gooo!!
UPDATE ON MY JAZZ BAND AUDITION. thabks to you I MADE IT IN AS AN ALTERNATE
I’m glad you like it but there has been pretty rough review from a reputable repair tech source in Great Britain I regards to the build quality of the Tenor specifically. I’m sure they play really well since it’s a SA80II design but I am concerned about build quality especially with some of the weight cutting on the horns. Like on the tenor it doesn’t have a neck brace and that just weakens the integrity of the neck. Again I’m sure they play great but I am worried about how they’ll play in 4-5 years from purchase.
Hi i love ur vids
Is there a bari coming up by Nexus by any chance? 😃
That horn sounds amazing! How much was that horn? Who his that horn geared towards? Thanks for your amazing videos!
Glad you found your groove. GG
Check out a King Super 20. The are very light and resonate so well that you can hear the sound in your fingers.
They tell it in the video, you didn't lissen carefully enough at 6:50
@saxologic Hey man! you´re talking about you´re keys being noise on the markvi 9:24 . well, a technician once told me that you should regularily oil your key action. since then i´m doing it and i have no problem with noisy keys. they also feel silky smooth ;) and you also can put key levers on your palm keys, a lot of people do it.
For the intonation in the higher register: i had the experience, that its not entirely dependend on the horn, the markvi´s have some areas, where they tend to be a little flat or sharp, but yours just sounds like it isn´t properly adjusted. you need to see a good technician for that, since its really uncommon that mark vi´s go sharp in the upper register. A good technician should be able to fix that!
greetings from a fellow sax player ✌
wow mr logic!
yeah, the whole debate over what material/lacquer/etc a horn is made of strikes me as being our own version of the "tone wood" debate with guitars. ultimately it's best to not get concerned about that and just play some long tones, lol/
DUDE! Do you know Donna Lee in all 12 keys?? Aw man. Yer killin’ me.
Sounding like a pro my boy
He is
nice
I would love to hear the Nexus on classical literature, just to compare. =)
I have a question how did you first learn how to play jazz. Because I play classical tenor sax but I don’t know how to get started in
The jazz field and I love jazz.
Any tips for someone looking for a sax?
yes sir
Try Kessler and sons alto sax please
i had to do do some modifications to my 6 to make it funtional, it would have been nice to buy one without having to make all those fixes lol
Reminds me of Brecker's "Don't Try This at Home".
You should do jazz snob meets
Classical snob please
More info about this tour
Give one of these away for your 200k Subscribers. Would be dope.
I love the concept here but if the material is not physically there I don’t know why they are charging the same 4K price
Don’t worry, you never sound too bright 😀
does anyone know if Nexus is good for classical playing?
Probably not ideal for most classical players. Classical players gravitate toward heavier, darker instruments. That said, with the right mouthpiece and reed combo you can get a decent classical sound on almost any sax.
Ayy Hermeto Pascoal 10:35
What is the tune at 10:23-10:35? I heard Jean-Luc Fillon and the Aquarela Trio perform it, and this was over a decade ago

@@TheFrenchMagicianThank you!
Day 2 of asking you to try the John packer (JP) brand
Love that sax racism
Hey Nathan!
I have som tips with your Mark VI problems.
I recently bought a Mark VI Alto from the citys concert band, I bought it for 150$.
when I sent it to overhaul, I asked the repair technician to put on cork on the palm keys to get them closer to my fingers, and that worked perfect. when it comes to the Biss key problem, I just changed pearls on that one and it got better, I don't know if this will work for you but it did for me. My Mark VI has som minimal intonation issues in the higher register, but to fix that, I am just opening my moth as If I was playing classical, it comes out much cleaner and smother theree. with the Front F Key sliding, I just don't slide, I play side keys when I cant slide to front f, and that was just something I had to get used to!
hope you can find this helping!
I’m 14 and I find every saxologic videos more entertaining than any other youtubers
🎷
bro did not like saxophone racism
Probably broke his stride in the conversation, totally unexpected ha
That was a faux pas.
And how much do they weigh? Let's not forget c Parker played a plastic horn
How many do you have an why.
As a saxophone player we have multiple because it’s amazing
W
I’m polish and I play the Tatamovich modified Yamaha yas 86 purporata logo, it weigh as much as 2 polish sausage, I’m best saxophone player in world, like betman.
One of these days a sax will fly away in a gust of wind lol
You are a beautiful freak! lovely video.
I enjoy your videos, however this one really should be marked "includes paid promotion"
Do you give sax lessons?
No high F-sharp key?!
Obviously sacrificed in the interest of weight reduction and an old-timey vibe, but the omission is a deal-breaker for me. Dropping the high F# basically says, "Niche horn!" That's fine; nothing wrong with catering to a particular niche. But it's not a sax for everyone.
Does weight really mean anything?
Yeah? Have you not seen their video explaining design choices?
I know but I feel like it’s a jumbo jumbo type thing. You can’t say because a saxophone is lighter that it sounds better than a slightly heavier one.
Mumbo jumbo
@@orzanoap The more material that the sound has to travel through the Less resonance and quality of sound there will be
That sounds good but I don’t think its accurate in all cases.
GET A BARI PLEASEEEEEE
Isn't there a touch of plastic to the sound?
Not me loving saxophones with witch you can feel that it's a TANK. Like Yamaha's professional ones.
Edit: nvm there was a paid sponsorship label in the start of the video
I love this channel, but this video ruba me the wrong way.
Nathan is now a CEO of a company run by Chad LB, and now he's a sponsored musician by a Saxophone brand also owned by Chad LB.
I can believe they are great horns, but this all just is a bit iffy to me. This is basically a paid ad....
On a side note, i greatly preferred Chad's sound on the Mark VI with the Syos mouthpiece.
Yes, it IS an advertisement. However, a disclosure does appear at the beginning of the video: "Includes paid promotion."
@@j.r.1210 oh my b, didn't see it.
0:01 if you did this with a normal sax your finger would bend backwards
Good afternoon bro l am glad you are one of us who finally realised that Mark vi are overrated and overpriced horns.
saxophone racism😂😭
Your live gig Shorts crack me up 😂 - good man!
I really can't understand the appeal of playing a lighter horn, I have had some bad experiences with cheap Taiwanese instruments being made of too light material (Buffet Crampon) where the keys snake open after a couple of months, thus making you your techs best customer. Since then I have moved on to better instruments, and I play a really heavy tenor from Adolphe Sax & Cie (small independent Belgian brand) and everything is just fuller with the same overtones.
