    Absolutely excellent interview. I don’t think I’ve ever heard such an intelligent discussion of the differences between mouthpieces.

    This is definitely the best video comparison ever done. The difference in sound of each mouthpiece has never been clearer. The sound of each mouthpiece is brought out very well and not a chop highlight. Great video!!

    Video is awesome. Definitely enjoy a young artist sharing his experience in the store...and his take on different gear....
    #Sax heaven!!!

    Really enjoyed this video. Am not a big jazz fan but it was intresting to hear the comments on the mouthpieces and about the artists. Well done.

    What a great interview! It made me subscribe to your channel. The first part was about the mouthpieces, the second part about his experience with PRINCE and with music in general. And yes, I'm planning to visit your store the next time I'm in London!

    Very enjoyable interview. Adrian sounded great on all pieces and appears to be super modest but very skilled on the Sax.

    It was great to hear all 5 Mouthpieces in one video, with such a star player! My favorite sound was from the "Earth". But being a sax player for 45 years, I understand that we choose our gear based on how to produce our personal sound easily.

    Sax shop is an ausum saxophone shop. I’m actually tempted to visit from the US. Really enjoy all the videos. I find all of them entertaining and informative.

  • @billducker7404
    @billducker7404 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Really enjoyed Adrian’s playing. I suspect though he could play on the chair leg and make it sound really good. Why does Theo have unusual new age names for his models of Memphis? Thank you Jim for what you were doing - God bless you all - is a great 2023 - Bill - UK

    Cheers from China. Just love my rubber Gaia alto mouthpiece . May try a metal one on my tenor.

  • @adamgalambos8137
    @adamgalambos8137 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I m fairly new in sax playing. Listening these tones. I love the bright and edge sound of the durga but that sound i d prefer on a tenor

  • @jacobdeaven7477
    @jacobdeaven7477 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is excellent! Did he also shoot one for tenor?

    I can't buy one of those but I play with mine that RICO mouthpiece sounds good cheers

      @AdrianCrutchfieldMusic ปีที่แล้ว

      Javier, the cool thing about the new series is that they were made to be less expensive and more affordable/available to players! You CAN buy one of these!

  • @EgilFurre
    @EgilFurre ปีที่แล้ว +1

    In some videos you play a mouthpiece that is transparent, which mouthpiece is it? It sounded much better than all the Theo Wanne mouthpieces.

  • @FunkOsax
    @FunkOsax ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi. Good video. I'd like to know about his alto neck modification, did he discuss it at any point?

    • @AdrianCrutchfieldMusic
      @AdrianCrutchfieldMusic ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi David, it's actually the stock neck that comes with the Theo Wanne Narayan alto sax.

  • @bobblues1158
    @bobblues1158 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great! What reeds and what tip openings are being played. And what horn is Adrian playing?

    • @AdrianCrutchfieldMusic
      @AdrianCrutchfieldMusic ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thank you! The horn im playing in this video is actually a Theo Wanne Narayan. Theo and the team had it made in purple for me and I love it!

  • @manny3854
    @manny3854 ปีที่แล้ว

    Does anyone know what Adrian's standard setup is?

  • @stangetz534
    @stangetz534 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    most important thing is not to forget what TIP SIZE you demo. Reed and strength are also very helpful, but tip size is a bare minimum.

  • @skylerschwebach6829
    @skylerschwebach6829 ปีที่แล้ว

    Any idea what saxophone he’s playing on? I can tell it’s a Theo Wanne horn but I can’t tell what model

  • @simonsimon5124

    The Mindi Abair for me, with Earth close second. But what Saxophone is he playing ??

    • @AdrianCrutchfieldMusic
      @AdrianCrutchfieldMusic ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's a Theo Wanne Narayan, but it's purple! I like purple obviously lol

  • @grantkoeller8911

    The Earth, he calls it his darkest mouthpiece is not dark.

    • @EgilFurre
      @EgilFurre ปีที่แล้ว +3

      All the Theo Wanna mouthpieces are brighter than the description of them.

    Fire scale was not good.
