Whether it's Simon's uncanny ability to play so well and react to nuances (he literally plays jazz, classical, rock and pop voicing blend in 30-40 seconds) or it is other TH-cam reviewers' inability to play so well as Simon .. whatever it is, these reviews and demos with Simon Bates just work! The best reviews of saxophones & saxophone equipment anywhere -- thank you Dawkes.
Thank you for your kind comments. I'm a complete saxophone geek and checking out all these wonderful products at Dawkes is an amazing opportunity - I'm like a kid in a candy store and love making these videos! Mostly, I have no idea what Sam is going to ask me to play test until I get to Dawkes, so the enthusiasm and surprise is genuine. As Sam said, I'm filming more tomorrow and can't wait to see what he throws my way!
luv the complexity of both.. Theo is amazing. the Gaia can take you on a journey of "beauty in sound" while the Durga is exciting and flashy. Its like one is shy but when heard, its stunning. The other is the center of attention " the life of the party". Cant go wrong with either. I personally like the metal Gaia a little better 😉 Happy playing 🎵🎵🎵 🎷4lyfe

Love his playing.
Yup! Very BOSS!
Excellent: factual and entertaining review... as usual.

I kind of prefer the Gurda, but they are both BOSS mouthpieces. Thanks for your video!
Thanks for watching!
So I found the tip openings on the Gaia as midge small had to go up to a nine from the seven star metal
Gaia - 1:23 3:28
Durga - 5:10 6:25 9:32
