- This video is about Littlesax Unboxing. I'm a guitarist/keyboardist, not a woodwind player. Years ago I owned an alto sax to noodle around on. I thought I'd give it another try. With shipping, this cost me less than $35 on eBay. It's got promise, but it's going to take some work for me.

The dog coming to check on you is absolutely priceless!
I just got my little sax, and found this video. I laughed soooo hard, it was like watching myself in a mirror.....dog included. Except mine howled. If we were in band together, I think the band director would have said we tied for last chair. Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
Dorene Mellene I seriously thought I was going make beautiful music! It takes a little practice first.
Hahaha me too
I just unboxed mine and looking for videos that would help me and i found this and laughing so hard.
Thanks god I’m not the only one playing like stupid hahaha
I laughed as well for the same reason but so glad this video aired.
I just did the same!!😂😂😂
Hahaha..😂🤣 can't stop laughing..I totally see myself..🤣 so excited when received, then frustrated when I start play..🤣🤣
I absolutely loved the dog’s quick response to the wounded duck sound. Waiting for one of these in the mail.
Reed was still dry. Wet it longer then place it on flat part of mouthpiece. Then roll your thumb over it, then attach it. 60 some years of playing
Uhh... Wet it? Also, roll thumb...? Can you point me maybe for detailed instructions?
@@kvegh A reed needs to be wet in order for vibration to cause sound in the instrument. Unless you have a synthetic reed. I think by "roll your thumb" he just meant to carefully place the reed in alignment with the mouthpiece.
Wet for about 3 weeks inside Niagara falls.. it's written on instructions ..
Thanks
00DirectorsCut00 😂 😆 😆
I'm very glad I purchased the product, but you all are correct about my lack of woodwind knowledge. Thanks for the tips.
Why you glad? 🤒
Had to lube the reed a little bit longer. It was still dry and stiff. Also, u alternative position to line up the reed is bring it to the edge of the lip of the mouth piece, and then past the edge about 2 millimeters and tighten the clamp. This helps with breaking in new reeds, as the little extra bit of the rees will catch the air pressure a lot more easier at first. I used to play with Rico 3s and 4s hardness reeds. That was the one was to help, and then re adjust the reed to almost flush with edge, now that its been broken it. There will a slight bend at the reed tip, and will now catch air easier. And the same note for everyone was im guessing possibly not covering the octive key? Also, try not to clinch your jaw too much, as your lower jaw articulation is an important part in directing the air flow towards the tip down of,the mouth piece and reed assembly.
The shape of the mouth: the mouthpiece above the protruding upper lip short, placed in the neighborhood of this location
The first play of LittleSax, whether novice or veteran, must carry lip exercises first: Don't press any holes, Put the LittleSax into the mouth to casually play. Adjust the depth of mouthpiece containing, when LittleSax produce "the most natural, the most carefree, the most resounding" sound, this position is correct. In this embouchure position playing more practice, let your lips adapt to this reed. In addition, the lips should be appropriate relaxed, if the lips too hard, will put the inlet blocked and no voice.
Thanxxxxx..
I love the honesty of this video. Reminds me of the first time i tried to play sax , in my mind John Coltrane in reality one of those party things that unfurl as you blow .
Very amusing. I ordered one and then found this video. I'm in the same boat. Play guitar and drums and studied Sax when I was 12. Now I'm 56 so I'm sure I'll have similar results to start. I'm happy I'm not investing in an expensive model because I suspect I would have the same results.
I felt like applauding when a sound finally came out then cheered when the dog came to help.
The dog showing up at 5:43 😂
🐶 "What is that noise??!"
Thanks for the review.
This was hilarious. Thanks man. I don't even know what your channel is about, but consider me subscribed.
You have to place reed on your tongun for a minute to get it wet. Then you put your lower lip over your teeth and just about bite down then you blow gently till you get a tone. This is key! 25+ years playing all models of sax. Enjoy
What a beautiful dog you have ! !
Suor Benedetta Thanks, Duke is a great dog. In this video, he is 11 years old! Such a sweet boy.
I think the dog was asking you to please read the directions. LOL.
Hilarious, and Duke knows what's up.
Maybe you didn't pull the hand brake off
I did the same exact thing you did when I first tried to play my mini sax and my Nuvo Jsax. Glad to see i'm not the only one
I cant stop laughing by the dogs face....
thank you for sharing this video and helping me decide whether or not I want to commit to buying one of these!
A funny presentation sir, and you`ve played well... ;)
Lol!!! I did the same thing. Blew nothing at first. Thanks for the demonstration.
Can't get past a screaming sound (stood on cat's tail), not the lower sound in the video. Tried soaking, teeth position makes a difference, but still sounds like a high pitched whistle. Is there any chance it's faulty?
Thank you. I will work on that. I am glad I purchased the LittleSax.
I love the video im subsscribed
With mine, lots of squeaking and squawking at first as well as dead silence when that's the last thing u want lol. But each time I pick it up I get a bit better.
Worth the effort I think 😎
This cracked me up. Keep on practicing, my friend! :)
Upsetting the dogs, they have excellent hearing and respond with anguish to that cacaphonic squeaking noise.
Tears in my eyes. That's hilarious. Thanks for posting though - It must have been very tempting to have left the video on your hard drive!?
Pete it took a GREAT DEAL OF COURAGE to post this. But you are FEARLESS AMIGO. Loved the appearance of Duke. Was Terrance hiding in the garage?
where does the bit of wood go? mine is in bits its not complete, its junk.
The doggos... GOLD!
Hi,
I have the same item bought on ebay. And i can not make any sound? Is there anything i am doing wrong?
Even when i take off that small top part like you, air is just goint trough it. Can you please help me.
Tnx
Think yourself very lucky, especially if you have neighbours or value your hearing or sanity! When I eventually got a sound out everyone in the room jumped (including the poor dog), as I wasn't gripping it with my teeth! Still struggling. Ah for the days when it was silent...
Ahahaha I laughed so hard, thanks for making my day sir 🤣 This really represents whats actually like to order chinese things from internet ahahaha, Keep up man and say say hello to Duke! 😄
Peter, I howled!! Would you happen to know where I could purchase reeds for the little sax?
I don't get sound from mine .Can I get any help on how to make sound?
I managed to get a great sound, I'm using it to hit a drum.
im consideringbone, bcs Im living in an apartment and my altosax is too loud for my neighbours . how loud is this?
and yes. wet the reed more and buy a 1,5 reed in a store
Hahahaha!! I would not have stuck the reed straight into my mouth. Who handled the reed before. I would have at least stuck it in a glass of water.
MontiR Aruba I don't think your supposed to get it that wet but what do I know 😂
Or Whisky
I would have stuck the dick into my mouth
I just got mine yesterday, same experience.... blowing my lungs out, no sound or only sudden high squeaks...... hope practice makes it better...
balmuis taking time to wet the reed is key. You’ll get it!
@@peterdvideos thanx, tried that. But not much better. Will see if i can find a saxophone player to test it ...
Arrived yesterday then I went looking for reviews, I'll look some more, but there's always the Harmonica. Libraries have at least 2 harmonica instruction courses and at least 1 song book in digital downloads and zero shortage of TH-cam videos.
Did you name the dog after Duke Ellington? LOL he even played the 'tamborine' with you. This thing came on Aliexpress and I was tempted so I am researching. This thing requires so much effort to blow; I'd probably be breathless trying to get any kind of note out,.
The reed needs to be wet for longer, also check out videos on embrochure. The reed strength might be too high also..
OMG IT’S SO FUNNY WATCH A NON-WOODWIND PLAY A WOODWIND INSTRUMENT GAAAGGHHH SKJSKJSKJSKJ 😂😂😂😂😂
You are not kidding! I knew exactly what was wrong when he blew into it and started rolling!!
Thanks! I struggled the same way! And thanks to all the other comments here. Gonna wet the reed, then.
Duke was curiously interested.
Glad I found your video so I know it's not me! Maybe it will just be an ornament in the music room! lol
Hi Peter, what's your opinion of this Little Sax aka Zebra Pocket Sax? Looking forward to seeing more videos of your new pocket sax. I am considering picking up my sax lessons again.
Well, i got the thing yesterday and it took me like 10 minutes to actually be able to play a scale. It was harder than i had thought before I got the thing. I wonder if venova would be as hard.
the day boy strikes again.. I know this kitchen. I made food with Pete and hung with Duke (RIP) and Terrance
Ok. That’s me out. I was loathe to buy it without trying it so thank you. I do love the sound. Could already hear stranger on the shore but no. Thank you so much.
I'm waiting for mine. 😁
I read up on these. It's better to start with a 1.5 or 2 reed. Easier for beginners.
Excuse me, there is a moose at the front door asking for you.....
Haha I'm laughing so hard right now 😅 thanks for the laugh, I needed it 😅
Oh how I wished Id seen your video before I bought my own pocket sax. Its still on its way to me and now Im heartbroken to know I will not even be able to blow a note. And all I wanted to do was sound like Kenny G.
Can you give me a link to the exact pproduct?? Thanks:)
Great! you did as good as I did on my 1st try!!!
Help! I can't get a sound out of the thing!
I got one of these in the mail and the whole thing was covered in mould .
Aaagghhhhhh .... too much sax ! There's Little / Pocket / Xaphoon / Mini / PVC sax ... how do I choose? Everyone claims to have invented theirs first .... help !!
Real question is ? Any one ever get this sounding good with out passing out ?
Haha, the dogs throught you would call them for a walk... Big Grin... but I just also got one and almost got no sound out of it and then I also realized that the wood thing must be first soaked in water to actually oscilate... ;)
How did you go with this?
Did you keep practicing?
Panic in the Neighborhood !!!!!!!! :)))
Push in the clutch and throw it in first.
Just recieved mine! How you getting on with it?
It sounds like the reed is still dry, hence the difficulties in producing sounds!
Love the Jaco T-shirt! :)
I got the same pocket sax. But it is very bad. The finger chart is not similar to all other woodwinds. And it is almost impossible to sound (even I know how to play saxophone a bit). I finally give it up. Now I get a "dood" from NUVO. Similar idea of pocket sax or clarinet. That's great and much much easy to play. With the plastic reed, I can even play it when taking a bath.
This shows that you do not practice enough. Another possibility is not to use appropriate reed. Try other reed. This kind of Pocket Sax instruments, including Xaphoon, reed has great influence.
No key instruments, sound design of LittleSax is the best.
The Nuvo JSax is better if he wants a soprano sax sound rather than a clarinet sound
While you blowing the sax so hard
I also blowing nothing here while watching.
My dog freaked out when I started learning sax! He was like what in the HECK is that thing??
Thanks for the smile sir.. :)
Lol I got a kick out of this ! Thank u! Lol
I love non music and and picking up instruments and thinking this should be easy!!
Ur Funny 😆... Enjoy learning ur New Instrument 😀
hahahahaha I got a Lade mini clarinet and it came with the reed preassembled. be careful cuz they tend to come way out of tune and he reeds are terrible and will make it even more out of tune. i had to use a drill and a tuner to fix mine when it came
Hahaha!!! You made my day...
It's official, i've decided not to get one, thank you.
Your dog is SO confused by this hahahahahah
Good grief I just ordered that, sounds like the matting call of a mongoose.
The only part of this video I liked was the dog
Slappy Mandingus that's Duke the 13-year-old dog.
ok...this video made me realize that its not an intelligent decision buying one of these
Duke was intrigued :D
I'm choking laughing...
The reeds are probably crap. Get some Vandoren reeds
My god, man! SPARE THE DOG!!!
😂
Let the dog try!
If you dont play a sax, then why did you buy this instrument?
the dog came to ask you to stop.
Lubrificar a palheta seria bom ai
Ahaha! This man is so brutal, that can play on dry reed.))
I think it's somekind of a Dog whistle at the same time!!!
Buy a real Xaphoon. It is better.
This guy CLEARLY hes no actual musical experience at all.
Dunno about "no actual musical experience" but has a lack of woodwind playing experience lol.
@@Slayeahlo you have point
argh.... what if someone pre lubricated it in China....argh..
It's a seven minute video. Just blather for the first six minutes.
This is hilarious! Haha
Hahaha, dog very interesting
tirar o primeiro som foi engraçado..........kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk ( ja entreguei instrumento de sopro (trumpet) pra iniciante, e geralmente não consegue som... sem as devidas instrucoes de embocadura
let the dog try!
not a good sax but great video 4 sure
Poor guy, he huffed and he puffed and not a fucking sound was made.
