I have given up trying to produce a good sound. I have been very fortunate in having some of the best instruments and mouthpieces at my disposal including, Zephr, Yamaha, Buescher, Conn , Selmer , Keilwerth , Courton etc etc and all that I have been able to produce is the Bombay Taxi Horn sound. So I have decided to concentrate exclusively on subtone playing. I have mastered the classical subtone with double lip embouchure as well as with the single lip embouchure on tenor and alto. I now intensely desire to be able to play jszz subtone on tenor and alto. Please do help me find suitable instructions or tutorials or pdfs or videos etc etc. Thanking you,
Hi. There is a long video called saxophone tone. It briefly mentions subtone at 8:00 mins in but also has some other good ideas about creating a good tone overall. Thanks.
Hi. Playing the mouthpiece alone (tenor) should give a G pitch. So if you get another pitch maybe your embouchure is too tight or too loose producing a different pitch. However, this is a generalisation since depending on the design of the mouthpiece, it could have a different mouthpiece pitch like a F. The strength of the reed can also affect the pitch if it is too soft or too hard for you. It is possible to play a scale on the mouthpiece alone so it is a matter of remembering the correct position of the embouchure for the pitch you want to produce in order to produce the best sounding note. I suggest that you work with the exercises that you think are helping and ignore the others. The main thing that matters is that we produce the correct pitch on the fully assembled saxophone. Thanks
I really like your teaching method, and your way of explaining things, but it would be so much better. If you would occasionally show yourself, how things are done. Fulvio
Hi. Yes it applies to the clarinet. However the 'reed on the mouthpiece patch' exercise may not work since the angle of holding the clarinet is different from the saxophone. Thanks for the comment.
Excellent advice. Thank you.

Thanks! Many good ideas here. I often use the paper trick when I play the soprano. Subscribed, and will check out your other videos
Thank you. I hope you find the other videos helpful.
Do you have a video detailing the method or methods of producing the jazz subtone with single lip and double lip embouchure?

Never played the saxophone before, never considered it, and still haven’t. Great video though, well done :)
Hi. Thanks for the comment especially since you do not play the saxophone. It's an expensive hobby and time consuming. Thanks for watching.

How long can it take me to become an expert sax player sir?
