Sweet Sorrows Alto Saxophone Solo by David Jex

[mumble212]

You should try vandoren traditional reeds. I would probably sugest going up to a size 3 reed too. You have a nice initial sound, but it gets buzzy as soon as you try to push it. A harder reed will help that and should help with the altissimo notes too.

[jessicmkey]

you're pretty awesome

[MuMuCow8]

um is this a concerto piece?

[GiantOgreNV44and45]

i have the same sax and mouthpiece. i love it

[SarangHeoyo]

that's good......I ply it also....

[nickthequick800]

My theory professor is the guy who wrote this piece.

[Coufu]

Cool. I e-mailed him a while back when I first performed it, asking him to check out this video to see if I did it right. Never got a response though.

[redsox3438]

I bought this piece a while ago from a music store and from then on i found that i love 20th century pieces.. the only problem is i can never seem to find anymore, if you have any suggestions it'd be appreciated. Very well performed by the way

[shinka1911]

GOOD xD

[kipmarlap]

Sweet, i have obtained the sheet music to that. I am so gonna play it.

[kipmarlap]

loved it, im gonna try to get that music

[JimmiBaez]

that was great.

[hhollis1]

Oh my gosh. That was good.

[PokeyMagic]

the reed Doesn't Make The Player. He has great talent. End Of Discussion

[tooch12]

im just saying, two sax player aren't alike, one might be able to hit those altissimos on a 2.5, another might be able to hit them on a 3, everyone is not the same

[Coufu]

Thanks for the defense :) Yeah, it's all about preference. I agree though that it's easier to hit altissimo notes with harder reeds, but I prefer the sound and flexibility of a softer reed.

[tooch12]

no problem, i play on 2.5 or 3 reeds, but i perfer 2.5

[Jacksirrom]

I love Vandoren 3.5 reeds. I've got the same setup as him just different reeds. Great sax too.

[tooch12]

that's awesome,the selmer super action series II is an incredible sax,what kindof vandoren reeds do you play on.

[tooch12]

um, the reed doesn't make the player, it's what you perfer

[sickmantix]

pretty good though

[sickmantix]

2.5?

You've got be kidding me.

[jazziesax]

What's wrong with a 2.5 reed?

Although I play on a 3 (sometimes a 3.5), I know it's not like a 2.5, but it's all preference.

Do you think that the strength of the reed determines how good you are?

[KruppDawg]

excellent job.

i do agree with paintblfrk though, if you want to improve your altissimo, you're going to need to start using stronger reeds than 2.5.

but still an overall great performance.

[blackcanaryx]

amazing! what is that piece called?

[itachichau]

boo

[musicforthewinjk]

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[paintblfrk420]

your never gonna sound good in altissimo if your on a 2.5. start bumpin up. i play on a vandoren 4

[lipsman92]

Is there really such thing as a 4 reed?

[paintblfrk420]

yea, it goes up to 5, 4.5's work really good too

[Masterchi77]

ur balls need to be punched until they come out ur throat

[lipsman92]

[Micira03]
