All people being sensitive about him "ruining the instruments" stop. As a tenor sax and flute player i think it is perfectly fine. He did not break anything. In fact if he just took apart all of the instruments and put them back together they would be perfectly fine. He never tampered physically break anything.
lol you can get a gr8 wub sound if you slap a bari sax mouthpiece on a tuba I know because I watched some people do it when I was in marching band in high school xD
I do this all the time with my friends when ever we have nothing to do and it's hilarious. My favorite is the clarinet mouth piece on trombone slide yes just the slide XD
Misaki The Potato I play clarinet and I can’t even imagine that 😂 I also play flute and this video killed me inside because I was taught to treat my flute like it’s glass china
All of you people who are saying he's ruining instruments and otherwise completely discouraging him are jerks! It's not affecting you in any way and he likes doing it. Also, him doing this and experimenting is amazing. This could be the next new instrument. Besides, you never know until you try. So how about you all shut up and let him do his thing!
I play sax and soon will play flute, and I'm really not sure which instrument got injured the most. It was likely the saxophone where the cork almost broke..
I think the air pressure may be a little too high... plus there's not a very easy way of fixing the clarinet mouthpiece on owing to the fact that it's 'accepted' by the barrel, as opposed to wrapping around a cork, if that makes sense?
That was both the funniest and most beautiful thing I have ever seen... I love your sense of humor! I might have to try a few combinations like these sometime
What's with musicians and making frankenstein-esque instruments by combining them? When I was in band, we put french horn mouthpieces on saxophones and tuba mouthpieces on clarinets.
all these instruments we are enjoying today are results of invention and experiments of some genius,saxophone actually was invented and made with wood before later converted to a brass by the man Adolph Sax,so i dont think anybody should blame you for trying this,believe in yourself you might make it real...cheers bro.
I don't think any flutes or saxes were harmed in the making of this video..were they? He looks totally bonkers, but then so did Adolphe sax, who had the bright idea of adding a reed mouthpiece to a flute,,,,,,,and the rest is history, That's why the saxo-flute worked - the fingering of both is pretty much the same! And why so many sax players double on flute ! We need more inventors !!!!
The world would be a far sadder place without wonderful weirdness like this. Makes me want to get out my recorders, LittleSax etc. to see what happens when I switch things around. Thanks for a very enoyable 6 minutes.
Thank you all for watching. If you enjoyed this please do have a look at my channel, there will be roughly one new thoroughly useless video on a random topic for you every weekend. Follow me on twitter for channel updates @jamesmaswhat. TIME-WASTERS ONLY
Good fun. Whilst doing my physics degree at uni I did a course on the physics of music. The bore of the tube is an important part of an instrument, as is the nature of the vibrating system. Flutes and recorders behave like a resonating tube open at each end. Reed instruments behave like a resonating tube closed at one end. Parallel and conical tubes overblow in different modes ... that's why it's easier to overblow a sax than a clarinet. The trumpet family can only produce a good sound when used with a closed tube: That's why there aren't any trumpet-mouthpiece recorder hybrids. But a nice experimental video. Thanks.
the sax mouthpiece with flute body sounds very similar to a clarinet because it pretty much is one the only/main difference between sax and clarinet is that the body of a sax is shaped like a cone (starts at a small diameter and gets bigger), and clarinet is shaped like a cylinder (same diameter the whole way through) this ‘sax-flute’ is a single reed mouth piece attached to a cylinder, i.e. a clarinet
A couple of those actually had interesting sounds. The first (alto sax on piccolo) in particular caught my ear as something not quite like anything else. The alto sax on concert flute has a somewhat clarinet-like sound (which stands to reason, being basically the same single reed/cylindrical bore setup).
this musical experiment (for some reason) reminds me of driving through the western US years agoand seeing all these signs advertising the FLYING JACKALOPE exhibit just ahead. this mutationbeing the result of mating an antelope with a jack rabbit. (sorry if I'm missing the point.)
OMG!! In my band class, my friend Aiden, who plays the saxophone, asked to see my flute and put hem together... he played it very well... we called it the saxoflute
I'm not sure why this was recommended to me, but I'm glad it was. This was very interesting and entertaining to watch. Especially the last ten seconds.
Hahahha you made me laugh my ass off to the last one. I love ridiculous sounds, that was good and interesting to watch. The first ones that worked sounded very good!
cool. do you think that the sax neck gives a big difference? I m working on pvc sax from an alto mouthpiece. pls PM me to further discuss this topic. cheers
I'm not the right person to ask about actually making one, but if it's difficult to make a neck section then it could save you time and effort. it's important that the length and proportions are the same though (the material matters relatively little). an octave key will make it much easier to play the higher register
+Uncle Ho no it won't playing flute is suppose to be played side ways but honestly I wouldn't really completely know because I don't have a sax but my freind does I might try it!
Yikes! Everyone is so upset. I say if you got two, and your not compromising them or you are lucky enough to have extra.. Stick em together! Have a go.. See what comes out. Everyone is complaining about the noise it makes. How it isn't right. WHO CARES?! NO instrument was "right" ever.. Until it was. If you can make more than one pitch, it's an instrument. And yeah this guy is just doin this little "jotting-down-ideas"-video, but who knows? Maybe some random kid halfway across the world watches this video, and they are inspired to combine some of the instruments they have around the house. Fifteen years later after a whole lot of creativity and a viral TH-cam video...suddenly we are hearing some masterpiece out of a ridiculous contraption none of us ever would have considered. Something some wrong that none of these aforementioned "engineers" would ever come up with.. Who knows? The world is a strange place, and far stranger things than that have happened. Repeatedly. In the meantime..all you people need to get off your high horses, and back away from your keyboards a bit. You are all SO strongly offended by experimenting with different instrument part combinations that you ALL feel the need to overlap your opinions of disgust?? Yeesh... Music is supposed to be one of the creative arts. When did you all become so against playful creativity??
I think that the flute mouthpiece into sax didnt work because a flute is a cylindrical pipe and not a conical one, so all vibes that usualy work in a cylinder-shaped instrument, are fading into the conical shape, and therefore a reed mouthpiece is needed, there isnt sufficent power in the little windstorm that happens in the flute mouthpiece to drive the conical air-pole. And thats why a reed mouthpiece into the flute would work.

I just joined beginning band and I play Tenor sax. I'm glad to see another member of the Tenor family lol.
I can remember back in 1970, fitting a Bassoon reed onto a Trombone and a Trumpet. It was horridly wonderful.

How to make a unique clarinet: alto sax neck with flute body
Lel put a clarinet mouthpiece on a flute body 😂😂 -clarinet player
I did it it doesn't work whatsoever I guess the clarinet just isn't meant to have a metal body
there are metal clarinets out there, so that can't be it!
I think the air pressure may be a little too high... plus there's not a very easy way of fixing the clarinet mouthpiece on owing to the fact that it's 'accepted' by the barrel, as opposed to wrapping around a cork, if that makes sense?
Also, playing the Flute like a trumpet actually works fo lower pitches and sounds a bit like a french horn
i can confirm. i’ve tried it before

This made me laugh way too hard, you´re so right
How do you now a a gay duck sounds?
Justin Jaeger he knows from experimenting
LOL
its not homophobic because in not saying being gay is bad and i not offending gay people in any way.
the first one you made is basically what I play it's like a flute with a reed it's called a Xaphoon (pocket sax)
Hi James, which song is it you start to play from 2:50 on the flute with alto neck & mouthpiece???
Thanks and kind regards

Did you find the song?
I want to know as well
the sax mouthpiece with flute body sounds very similar to a clarinet because it pretty much is one
the only/main difference between sax and clarinet is that the body of a sax is shaped like a cone (starts at a small diameter and gets bigger), and clarinet is shaped like a cylinder (same diameter the whole way through)
this ‘sax-flute’ is a single reed mouth piece attached to a cylinder, i.e. a clarinet
That's how innovations begins.
A couple of those actually had interesting sounds. The first (alto sax on piccolo) in particular caught my ear as something not quite like anything else. The alto sax on concert flute has a somewhat clarinet-like sound (which stands to reason, being basically the same single reed/cylindrical bore setup).
Next step double reed on sax?
Excellent. I really enjoyed this little adventure.
the flute/sax sounded like a clarinet with some pad leakage issues.
Silver Jag “Pad leakage issues” sounds very strange out of context.
This is awesome. I once attached my alto sax mouthpiece onto a quena (Peruvian flute/recorder that I make as a hobby) and it sounded amazing!
flaxophute?

It's amazing how the sax parts made the flute actually sound like a sax. As a sax player, I love that.

Do you mean whether it makes a difference that it's there, or whether it makes a difference that it's curved?
i mean does adding the neck of a real sax makes it easier ? second question what about an octave key (near the mouthpiece) to widen the range ?
I'm not the right person to ask about actually making one, but if it's difficult to make a neck section then it could save you time and effort. it's important that the length and proportions are the same though (the material matters relatively little). an octave key will make it much easier to play the higher register
