Ima lovin that horn. It's beautiful and can perform. The dude playing it might have soething to do with that, too. It sounded superb! For a minute there, I thought you were going to disappear into that box completely and find that you had fallen into an alternative reality. We would have sorely missed you.
@@Saxologic I have a quick question should I play alto sax first and then go to bari sax or go straight to bari sax, this is my first time playing sax.
I like black pearls too, I don’t see too many saxes with black pearls I think they always look better than those white pearled saxes… (my sax has black pearls)
Great playing and sound on both. That Nexus has a great punch to the sound. Was expecting it to be a lot brighter because of the silver, but it was well balanced and meaty? Nice!
My mouth and my eyes are drooling looking at that fine work of art. Ooooweee! Is exactly what I was thinking, like silky smooth melted chocolate just flowing down like a waterfall.
If you are wanting that Mark VI sound without having to work so hard to control it’s foibles check out a Reference 54. I switched from a MK VI alto to a Ref 54 and I couldn’t be more pleased.
I think you should do a live stream and let the viewers choose songs they want you to play, I think this is a wonderful idea. (By the way, you play really well)
the day that I can become somewhat as good as you on the sax will be the day life will be so good 🙏 me and my sax have parted ways rn cuz it’s broken 🙈💔
I actually thought that it was MY smoke detectors in my house chirping….then I realized it was in the video from your house. 😂 I did go around and check though to make sure that my smoke detector batteries are actually ok…lol. You sound amazing by the way and I love the fact that there are viable new horns out there to play. I play a John Leadbetter tenor which plays better than my five digit VI.
Hey saxologic. I remember a while back in a guide you mentioned that you used to anchor tongue, recently I've realized that I do it pretty bad too and it's hindering my sound in classical so I started looking around and trying to figure out how to tongue properly. It's been around 2 months and I've made absolutely no progress lol, I was just wondering if you were willing to share how you fixed your tonguing and/or explain how to properly tongue in your words since I always seem to understand your terminology better. Thanks.
I would definitely stick with the Mark VI. I would be happy to help you out and take the Nexus off your hands. Please send it to me in the UK and I will pay the shipping.
@@brannenpfister2579 very true very true, i just find the vi is a little overhyped. ergonomics wise pretty much every modern sax is based off the mk vi and rlly the overall quality of a vi is based on the neck. if its ur style then more power to you though
@@gallofilm For me personally, I am usually able to hear a difference in focus and overall control in sound. It always makes the sound more mature for my ears. I don’t own one, I’m currently on a Z, but I certainly wish I did!
I kind want to play a saxophone after I get done at getting pretty good with my clarinet, but first I'm gonna play the violin then maybe a saxophone or trumpet I want to do multiple instruments cause I like music alot maybe I'll do guitar too my dad can teach me since he's really good with the guitar guess we will have to see what happens when I cross that I am going to get violin lessons during the summer I know that.(sorry this comment is kinda long).
Omfg I’m finally early to this channel, bro ur my inspo to a lot of my sax playing thank u sm, I wanna know what u do to try and get ur technical skill better?
Hey bro Watching your channel has made Me want to get a new tenor sax i played in high school but i haven’t played in a very long time! I was actually fairly good and wish i would have never sold mine !!!!!! I am thinking about getting me a yamaha ys62 in silver which is there entry level pro tenor sax what do u think about that or would you recommend another brand . Thanks keith
Interesting. I’d be curious to put the nexus up against an earlier medium bow horn. I bet it would be slightly closer in sound. Thanks for the great content!
The gods have blessed us with a new saxalogic video 🙏
Ima lovin that horn. It's beautiful and can perform. The dude playing it might have soething to do with that, too. It sounded superb!

I should have made a scene like that 😂 maybe next time haha
@@Saxologic I have a quick question should I play alto sax first and then go to bari sax or go straight to bari sax, this is my first time playing sax.
@@abdulmajeedahmadi1990 start with alto and then start progressing down to tenor then bari to roughly get used to the low notes
I like black pearls too, I don’t see too many saxes with black pearls I think they always look better than those white pearled saxes… (my sax has black pearls)
Yeah man i agree i have a Mauriat p67 rul alto which has black pearls. What are you rocking?
@@rhysponting A reverent, succulent, sexy Giardenlli GTS-10 (I think) the Eastman one. Nothing too insane, I've had it for 8 years now e.e
There needs to be a compelation of saxologic trying out saxes. Could listen to this for hours
It looks amazing! (It’s design reminds me of a Silversonic) A very focused and massive sound.
Guys, I just need to say It, Ist sooooooooo sharp, that u can cut meat whit It, sounds awesome Nathan, this horn is the chosen one for jazz :)
Wow, that nexus sounds like the perfect balance between vintage and modern tone😍
0:47
“Ahhhh It’s got the little foamy guys again”
Nathan Graybeal 2023
“This thing is mixed like mee”😂🔥 you got crazy chops
Have you tried swapping the 2 necks? I think it might be interesting to see how just the neck compares to the BSS one
Great playing and sound on both. That Nexus has a great punch to the sound. Was expecting it to be a lot brighter because of the silver, but it was well balanced and meaty? Nice!
Don't forget that repair cost can be higher when pieces are not as wiedly available as yamahas if you ever have a pb with your horn
My mouth and my eyes are drooling looking at that fine work of art. Ooooweee! Is exactly what I was thinking, like silky smooth melted chocolate just flowing down like a waterfall.
Each time I watch one of these videos I get more and more jealous because I have a jupiter alto sax
Hey that was my first owned saxophone!
That is an one SMEXY alto sax! I wish I could afford that beauty.
love when he gets the knives
Sound wise it reminds me of a YAS-62 Purple logo but it seems like the Mark VI gave you better resistance to push against.
If you are wanting that Mark VI sound without having to work so hard to control it’s foibles check out a Reference 54. I switched from a MK VI alto to a Ref 54 and I couldn’t be more pleased.

(By the way, you play really well)
Personally i like the Mark VI more but dude the Nexus rocks with the laser focus pushing sound🤯
Absolutely beautiful. Sounds big, yet nice and focused. Love it! And I mean…the dude playing it is ok too 😉
Well you weren't lying, that is THICC!
As a guitar player,I can feel you ,bzzzzzzzzzzzzz
You cleaned my shop …thank goodness!
Fear not, mother Graybeal.
Thank goodness your sax playing is so much better than the unboxing.
Remember when Nathan said he was gonna stop doing knife edits? Best lie he's told
the day that I can become somewhat as good as you on the sax will be the day life will be so good 🙏 me and my sax have parted ways rn cuz it’s broken 🙈💔
You’re the man! Cheers on your new horn! Now, I gotta have it!
Dude I’ve been waiting for you to create this video!! I frickin love my Nexus but didn’t get that dope ass box 😫
Selmer for the win.
And that's why the mark VI is so expensive... hahaha
The Nexus is still a pretty cool sax!
6:04 that power in the horn is insane!!!
4:15 - I’ve been waiting for this video! You sound great on both horns but MAN that Nexus looks nice.
Finally I have waited for so long
Record video: 45 minutes. Edit video. 90 minutes. Pick up popcorn from packaging. 240 minutes.
It really did take forever to pick that stuff up 😂
Gahhdamn that sounds good
Also u should change your fire alarm battery
Omg I want one so badly, it sounds so good!
5:55 Kenny Garrett Song #8! Love the channel, great playing and content!
Nexus. Much more focused and brighter tone then the VI. Like! Very like!!! Go Nexus!
The knife !!!!! 😂❤
Might wanna change them smoke detector batteries (also nice saxophone)
My dad says he changed it lol
Oh good lol

Is the bettersax alto vid still coming? 👀
I would definitely stick with the Mark VI. I would be happy to help you out and take the Nexus off your hands. Please send it to me in the UK and I will pay the shipping.
Holy shit you've improved so much
Just watching this before practicing a little more, I was so engaged in your video that I almost hit my reed against my teeth while watching😅
Watch out! Lol
Mark VI is just untouchable. The focus it gives and the stability is just unrivaled. You’ve improved so much! Sounds great! Mark 6 still the GOAT
not really
@@gallofilm Haha, I mean if you disagree that’s totally fine! Art is subjective!
@@brannenpfister2579 very true very true, i just find the vi is a little overhyped. ergonomics wise pretty much every modern sax is based off the mk vi and rlly the overall quality of a vi is based on the neck. if its ur style then more power to you though

It sounds incredible! What mouthpiece is that?
I'd like to see a three-way comparison between your nexus, your mark VI and your Yamaha ex.
For the better sax hopefully I’ll have my mark VI back!
0:33 Bro almost let the voices get to him 💀
It will always surprise me just how often he uses a knife on a saxophone TH-cam channel
Ngl. I've been playing canonball and selmer horns since Jesus was a baby. I dont think I'm ever gonna get one. Sounds good on you tho bro!
ok hear me out you can totally play Bird with Strings with the nexus one
Which one is better overall? The Nexus or Selmer Supreme?
Saxologic is awesome, would love to see a review on the balam strap you have on...
I was admiring the part where he plays My Heart Tells Me with my eyes closed and got jumpscared by 7:01
😈
Now you need a bari
it sounds and looks amazing wow
very THIQ sound :)
yoo new upload!
aaahhhhh my good man..... how does the weight of the horn compare to mark VI? Your tone is beast. Can I be like you when I grow up?
Thank you art master! It’s much, much lighter than the VI. It’s even lighter than my Yamaha lol. And of course!! Lol
I agree with most of these comments
Do you prefer the nexus to the 6?
Power baby!!!
better then your mark 6 right;)
Congrats on the big win Patrick Mahomes
holyshit the video is only 14 mins ago weeeeeeee
What mouthpiece and opening do you use?
This was a day before by birthday. Should've been practicing. 😔
YESSIR.
where are the white gloves?
The wheel has already been invented.
Still wondering what the sax solo was when you reviewed the Eastar.
Cherokee by Charlie Parker
w
Nexus baritone when 😀
"this thing is mixed like me" lol
Bro forgot to put me in his vid again 😭
I kind want to play a saxophone after I get done at getting pretty good with my clarinet, but first I'm gonna play the violin then maybe a saxophone or trumpet I want to do multiple instruments cause I like music alot maybe I'll do guitar too my dad can teach me since he's really good with the guitar guess we will have to see what happens when I cross that I am going to get violin lessons during the summer I know that.(sorry this comment is kinda long).
Not the hitmarker 🤣🤣🤣🤣

How does it feel talking to a camera while playing the sax
Incredible.
See rock city has a nice sax solo
Hey bro Watching your channel has made
Me want to get a new tenor sax i played in high school but i haven’t played in a very long time! I was actually fairly good and wish i would have never sold mine !!!!!! I am thinking about getting me a yamaha ys62 in silver which is there entry level pro tenor sax what do u think about that or would you recommend another brand . Thanks keith
Can’t go wrong with Yamaha!!
What mouthpiece do you recommend
What year is the Vi? Both horns sound great.
1963
Interesting. I’d be curious to put the nexus up against an earlier medium bow horn. I bet it would be slightly closer in sound. Thanks for the great content!
Try the Bundy 2 saxophone
you should totally send me that horn, just a thought. pretty please.
Great thought!
@@Saxologic LOL
That is such a punchy sound!
Chad is a huge Chad
I think the alto sounds better than the tenor ,
Amazing!
..... Please change your smoke detector batteries
I luv u saxo
❤❤❤❤
Sound like Chad LB
4:23 Leo p reference?
very good
Not the random fire detector beep 💀
Do you get to keep it?
Yes!
@@Saxologic so envious!!
Kind of ignoring the point of the video but I really like that neck strap. Does anyone know what it is?
Boston Sax Shop neck strap
Awesome thanks!
You are very funny!
