Wow. They both sounded like crap. Must’ve been the mouthpieces.
whats your opinion on a cannonball big bell alto sax?
Boring
i couldn’t stop looking at the pink sax.
anyone else kinda like the sound of the student horn more?
Heck, as a player and a repairman I’d be looking more at the workmanship and quality of how things fit. As for differences and sound yes they’re there, but whether I play some kid’s Bundy or my Mark 6 I basically still sound like me. I’ve occasional demoed horns at stores for customers. They don’t always hear a difference. The experienced player should pick something well built, he like the sound, and feels comfortable playing on. A student’s needs are much the same. Problem for students is they have no skill or experience to tell whether the problem is the horn or them. As fellow repairman described knowing whether ” it’s the arrow or the Indian”
Too much saxual content
“I’m gonna play both saxophones so you can hear a difference” (plays two different things and coincidentally, plays faster on the more expensive one)
Do you think we’re that stupid?
you sounded awesome on both of them!
i feel like im being educated well because of his accent, but i really dont understand half of what he’s saying all that well also cuz of the accent.
Do they have stores like this for clarinets? That would be like a heaven for me
our student model is shit, and our pro model is more expensive than a semester of college
I had no idea that I have a professional level baritone saxophone. It has everything except for the blue steel.
Trumpet for life
saxy saxman
What type of ligature and mouth piece did he play on ?
So does my Cecilio classify as a professional or student label saxophone?
what is the type of saxophone whom KENNY G is using?
What microphone is that?
Some day in the future I will buy myself a whole range of instruments so I can entertain myself throughout my life
This crisp clear sound of this saxophonist really gives it A BIG boost
Wow, both of them sound the same !
So this is saxophone heaven
I have a Beuscher from when I first started playing in middle school and had a Selmer Super Action 80 during my high school and college days. I sold the Selmer after I stopped playing regularly and miss the high F# key whenever I pick up the Beuscher for the hell of it.
yo is this guy dead cos he in heaven
didn’t matter what sax he played… couldn’t hit the highest notes…
Summary! Student horns=trash. Pro Models= Expensive, but heavenly
Just a random clarinet player stopping bye o_o
quick question, would a Selmer USA As400 be more of a student or a pro?
I recently upgraded from a Jupiter Student Sax that I’ve had for about 8 years to the Yamaha 875ex, and man, what a difference. I love the feel of the Yamaha in comparison to the Jupiter. The upper and lower register comes out so much easier. It was very expensive (I got a good deal on a used one and it was still $3,300), but 100% worth it.
do not call them horns do not i repeat do not
Hi Mike, we have an intermediate Yamaha tenor 480, how does that rate with regards tone, surely tone is about the player and their technique. Refined tone? The factories whether in Japan or Indonesia still have similar quality control. Of course the more expensive sax is softer but is that to do with reed and mouthpiece.
Student, intermediate and professional = marketing. There is no such thing as a professional horn. They’re all saxophones that must be made within the scientific dimensions necessary for a sax to play correctly. They vary in extras and quality and even there not by much when a reputable company is involved. As far as sound is concerned, it’s all subjective, different horns sounding different shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, but trying to say the sound of one is professional in quality and of another is student in quality is nonsense. The sound is more a function of the player, the mouthpiece and the reed, much less the horn.
The likes of David Sanborn, Ernie Watts and Gerald Albright for example are about as professional as you can get. Do you really think they would sound any less professional if they stuck their mouthpiece and reed setup on a student model horn?
If a horn with no name that costs $500 makes you say WOW! when you play it, that’s your pro horn. Save the remaining $3500 for supplies and routine maintenance, that should be enough to keep it going for the rest of your life as you strive toward making listeners say WOW! when they hear you play. I kept my Yamaha 23 for 20 years before moving on to something new.
The beginner one sounds better to me for some reason lol.
I have been playing for nine years. I found that the mouthpiece matters more, at least in my opinion. If the Saxophone worked, it hasn’t made a difference. The tip opening of a mouthpiece, and the material help sculpt the tone.
When you looked up the prices after watching this video-
O.o ($2,000+)
Who else just plays saxophone for the fun of it. And is not a fuckin nerdy tryhard that humble brags about their set up, and how many years they’ve been playing.
lol just noticed… i am a student and this whole time i was playing on a professional saxophone in my band class, which was rented from my band teacher for only 40 bucks… damn son am i privileged
He has so much saxophones that are so shiny, fancy, and so professional. I want one XD
I love the way you pronounce Japan.
considering that I’m a saxophone player, all those saxophones just make me happy
it’s like a saxophone heaven
I so want to go into that shop with a fist full of cash – pity I can’t play for crap.
Dissapointing expected epic sax guy.
