I’m at beginner level in high school and am trying to get better than this really annoying junior. Thank you these vids help a lot even tho they were posted years ago
Go listen to The Bothy Band and learn it the way all of us who play this music learn it, by listening to it. Not exactly the way I like to hear this played, but, it is good and like rloomis3, I appreciate that these guys want to play it. This is a classic Bothy Band set, for those not familiar with trad Irish music, The Bothy Band was one of the best bands ever.
As a tenor sax player my self, what mouthpiece does the tenor player use, I read you all are selmer Paris artists. I’d love to know what instruments and mouthpiece you all use, granted the talent is you guys and your incredible sound. Is love to know what you all use for setups?
Happy to provide that information, this is the soprano player from the group btw. Both myself and the tenor player (Joe) perform on Selmer Series III saxophones and the other two members of the group on alto and bari use Series II saxophones. In terms of reeds we all use Vandoren Blue Box of varying strengths. In terms of mouthpieces both myself and Zach our alto player use Selmer S90's, Joe on tenor uses a Vandoren Optimum mouthpiece (I believe TL4 but might be TL3), and Danny on baritone uses a Selmer S80 C*. Hope this helps!
Well first of all we all studied with a master of the technique, Donald Sinta. However I will also say we all work on several coordination exercises both for double and triple tongue very slowly and gradually build these up over time. The initial coordination is the most important part, if done well then the speed will follow naturally. Also be willing to change your double-tongue syllables for the register and the saxophone on which you're attempting them. Hope this helps! Dan Graser (soprano saxophonist of the group)
The bari sax player is my private lessons teacher. Bravo!
Omg danny teaches me too
I searched celtic sax it seems to be rare

I love that a saxophonist wanted to play this music. You guys play the heck out of it too.

@@graserclassical do you happen to know the alto players type of s90 and reed strength
@@graserclassical do you happen to know where to get the arrangement you guys played?
How do you get your double tonguing so fast and controlled?

It's really incredible the rate at which you all do it, extremely impressed. Good luck, and I hope to see more stuff from you guys in the future.
Hello. We are a French Quartet and we would like to play your version. Would it be possible to get it (share or buy)? Thx a lot.
Is there any way I can get this arrangement?
I have to give it to the bari sax player because tonguing like that absolutely sucks on bari
