Man!!!.... the roof would have to fall in on me and they would have to sell the sax for funeral money if I could play like you!!!!!!! You give that Ref-54 wings sir.
You should, in an ideal world, be able to earn enough money playing that horn to buy several new roofs. You are a fantastic player. I really hope that everything works out for you. I wish you all the best.
very great sound Bravo, the first sound look like joe lovano and the second sound is more personnel and interesting i found. you are a good player with a super feeling, thanks for the demonstration
Redryno23, I tested a Reference 54 against my current sax (which is a SA-80 II). I found it to have a lot more life in the sound, more breathy. It was awesome. Another one I took to test play was a Rampone & Cazzani R-1 Jazz. Its keywork was perhaps the most comfortable I've ever played, it fitted into my hands like gloves. And the tone, was as awesome as the Reference. Hope this helped you!
Wow.... just listened further and heard you with the Guardala..... even tastier.... so what are you playing now? This was 8 years ago... that roof must be fine... and your skills must be even better... anyway. Nice demo. If you're gigging somewhere let us know out here. You've got some crazy skills and don't just put it into the roof.
Great Playing! Sucks you have to give this one up. I say do the roof youself and you would save enough money after you get done to buy one that Chardy17 is saying. :)
That sucks that you have to sell it. I have that same saxophone that we bought back back in high school. It's an excellent sax, although I haven't played in 2 years. :( Also you bought it for 5800? Have they gotten more expensive? Mine was 4400.
@ilthemsc - I use whatever works, the quality and consistency of reeds is so bad. I prefer a good La Voz med hard, Van Doren ZZ. I have boxes of old reeds and I re-visit them sometimes.
If money was tight a new hi-end sax should ahe been on the back burner. Time to get some financial planning advice. Should always have money laying around for home maintenance and upgrades FIRST. Material items maybe 2nd or 3rd. The sax should be a drop in the bucket. (e.g. $100k laying around MAYBE buy the 54). Even then it might not be a good idea. Perhaps when you have $250k available. As some home repair or upgrade projects can easily approach the $100k mark.

@lina anil It's the sign of the times where mediocre is greatness.

You sir, are without a doubt, one of the best sax players I have seen on TH-cam!
If I could play like that, I would buy a new roof for you
Well done.
I see this video is 6 years old. By now I hope you do have another one of those because you are amazing deserve to have one
That recording system is amazing. Really captured your awesome sound and technique
check out the P.Mauriat line. They are starting to gain recognition and sound great
NO WONDER YOU NEED A ROOF. YOUR TALENT BLEW THROUGH IT.
Hellsbells - you are incredible. I just love your playing.
Holy Sh*t, I get the feeling you'd sound just as good on a junk horn !!
I sincerely hope this works out for you. What a player !!
very great sound Bravo, the first sound look like joe lovano and the second sound is more personnel and interesting i found.
you are a good player with a super feeling, thanks for the demonstration
some of the best playing on youtube.
Cool, spread the word about Joey. His playing is deserving of wider recognition.
jumped to this video randomly from a Darek Oles-Piotr Baron video, and what a nice surprise. way to go Carlos!

brilliant sax and player
Oh.. Good smooth sound..!
Thanks for posting this, you sound great. I hope you got some good money for it to pay for your roof!
Hope you got another horn, you play beautifully!!!
you sound so good, go and make that money you need man.
dang, nice playing...........thanks for making me see how much I suck on the sax........lol
Wow.... just listened further and heard you with the Guardala..... even tastier.... so what are you playing now?

It's a sad state of affairs that a player this good cannot get paying gigs to pay for the roof so he can keep his horn. Hope it all works out for you.
Sorry my friend i am late, FUCK THE ROOF YOU ARE AMAZING PLAYER!!!
That's an AKG 414B XLS, THE most natural sounding mic for tenor. I recorded into Sonar 6 Producer edition, thanks.
As somebody says further down 'fuck the roof!'.
muchas gracias por tocar asi
Shoulda kept that sax, you sound awesome.
fuckin great sound. very nice playing
Great Playing! Sucks you have to give this one up. I say do the roof youself and you would save enough money after you get done to buy one that Chardy17 is saying. :)
I would love to know what kind of sound recording equipment you are using. Love the video and hope all works out with the roof!
It's a Ralph Morgan Excalibur 8EL.
You're a good player, man. Shame you had to give up the horn. Remember it's just an empty piece of metal. The music's inside of you.
If you live in a large area, go to a music shop and try out a few.
dude where is your album i wanna buy it
That sucks that you have to sell it. I have that same saxophone that we bought back back in high school. It's an excellent sax, although I haven't played in 2 years. :(

waaaoooo master you are my heroe
Michael Brecker II model. It's got alittle too much resistance for my taste, thanks.
I can only say what everyone else is saying, fuck the roof, if I could play like that nothing would part me from that SELMA
i second this
Hi, somebody could tell me if the Morgan Excalibur Tenor Mouthpiece 8EL has changed for just 8L? Thanks!
hey man nice playing. hope you didn't get skinned on the horn.
i ask the same that "candangoblues" what is the first mouthpiece????
Nice, is this going on your 50th CD? lol
Only Mark VI.
I would love this sax.... but.... its only $6,000, can't afford this amazing player. :/

good job ♪ i use same tenor, tell me that mouthpiece?
Nice demo, Dude.... just put some plastic on the roof and keep that horn.... ha... I know... life happens.
Which is better sounding alto or tenor?
WHAT FIRST MOUTHPIECE?
Dude you sound like redman. No joke.
i am interested in the Tenor sax, and what's the price? Paul
Paul Chijioke this Sax value more 9,000 USD
st thomas at 3:00? :)
Wow that sucks. Too bad you have to get rid of such a great sax.
Dont sell it, take a credit from the bank...
Beautiful playing brother!
