C-Melody VS Alto

[NinjaMan344]

Dude your awesome. I have a Bari sax and ans alto, but you blow my playing out of the water, keep up the amazing work.

ps. how much did it cost to repad your melody sax, if you needed to.

[rickygervais1776]

Good job. But you aren't swinging. Do you have any other teachers besides your school music teacher? Find a music school and take private lessons from someone who knows jazz. Or even better buy some Gerry Mulligan records and listen you ass off. Keep it up though!

[megabutter78]

why do they call it the C melody?

[BonJoviRocksMan]

@megabutter78 because its in the key of C.

[Ibakebiscuits]

you didn't transpose the melody when you switched saxes

[angelonebros2]

Holy shit! He even has a vintage alto! Look at the side,you'll see the keys. This guy will be some famous sax player someday.

[brandojazz]

how old r u TODAY? when were u8 born?

[brandojazz]

man ur scary, ive seen some of ur other videos...ur so young....ur inspiring, I will practice more!!! keep practicing so that ur the next michael brecker! :)

[Gkamperr]

that'll be cool if they had a duet, but to bad only 1 person is playing

[M1GARRAND1]

Great tone. More advanced than anyone your age should be.

[TheIzzysteve]

I have a Conn New Wonder c melody sax that im getting overhauled soon. Its really old and gold plated.

[ChickenVendetta]

You should sell that C-Melody... To me... For free...?

No? Didn't think so...

[nimchimpskii]

Ignore the hater's little dude. You're sound is great!

[thisismyaccount60]

Why would they stop making these buetiful istraments?

[thisismyaccount60]

Love the sond of the C melody but I play tenor and it is still my favorite(and the best)

[kc0999]

I'll give you prop for style and articulation but breath control needs a little work but over all I like it.

What piece is this?

[Oniversal]

Damn, I like the C better than the alto

[Muzikman127]

@Oniversal me too :o

[jaguars772]

hes pretty good

[ClueLou]

definitely sounds different

[TheIzzysteve]

u play flat.

[aeropau]

vaya cara  de elfo

[jazzfolkrocker]

doing great for a kid. work on authenticating a sense of true jazz articulation.

[Elmohott]

It sounds like you work your fingers more then your sound, embochure , and breath control, meaning, you shouldnt have to breathe 3 times consecutively after 1 note

[gsaxita]

@Elmohott good tips

[julenuri]

Please, use your life for the jazz. Your mouth form would be better and you could be a big sax player.

Continue with the music and find a jazz band.

[pivotestudios]

uhh bvibrate a note is called vibratpo and its important for solo's and sometimes to make a tune flash trust me i know.

[shophar]

long tones

[mexicankid140]

whoaa. That last note is gonna go sharp when you play soft. just keep pressure on the reed to control. when you get soft, still use fast air, just not as much.

[Funneman08]

Amazing your so good!!!!!!!!

[V3piru]

Interesting sound of the C-melody "contralto", though called a "fake sax", it's a real instrument, way darker than the alto but not a tenor !

You are young and have much energy yet, it is way different from the shy playing of so many, who maybe give jealous comments about your music. Keep it up !

[TurkeyinAbucket]

that's what conns are for you dooshbag they have a huge sound and that's the way it is so don' comment unless you know what your talken about

[iJiggsy]

Seriously. For all of your videos, just play quieter and smoother and it will sound a lot better. Of course, people like piechickenman will still give you crap about your playing, but the ones who mold it are more important.

[jancam555]

wow the last note on ur alto really sucked man.

did you larn how to vibrate it yet??

well, at least learn how to controll a sound

[Twinidio]

tenor saxo is awesome....if somebody knows let me know

[cesarinman]

Ofcourse Tenor is awesome! its the best!

[atlas10]

uuuu la la, nice it making me wanna grab mine and just go uju!!!!!!!!! :)

[bovo11]

Hey guys, No need to be too harsh when commenting on these vids I was 11 when they were recorded..

Please dont be mean :( Bahaha just kidding dont really care what you write. HAVE FUN :)

[Piechickenman]

then out with the old and in the new!!!

delete these and put on more of your new videos that don't blow ass.

[BrothersinJazz]

Man you really think he would take off these videos???? there his two with the most veiws.. 17400 and 7400. A hell of a lot more than your ever going to get!!!

[BrothersinJazz]

Pie bro just checked out your profile... cut your hair.. no one thinks big of you.. actually it gives them an instant impression that your a doushebag and from what you said i have to say i agree with them! grow up..

[BrothersinJazz]

which member of the band said that?

[bovo11]

Thanks brothers couldn't put it better myself.

[Piechickenman]

I'm not gonna lie, your C melody playing is meh at best. but your alto playing is just pure wanking. you don't deserve those saxophones.

[thompson955]

nice but its ment for barry im a sax teacher at UMKC and you have a slim chance in jazz but a bright future in classical sax

[ajo96]

nice! I thought that was awesome!

[InsaneVietnamVet]

You lucky bastard again! two saxophones!?!?! I dislike you

[issofunky]

Good luck finding a Mouthpiece to keep intonation solid when you're playing in a group.

[CreeOps]

c-melody sounds better than i thought....its like the center of alto and tenor...neato!!!

[FlautistxDancer]

Good work :)

I play tenor.. But major at flute :).

Brilliant.

[aTuneForJesus]

Wow you're great. I like the alto better, it has more punch. The blues licks are great too. Keep up the good work.

God bless....

[Slurpzter95]

Alto looks really retarded if you play it to the side. Just saying

Anyways.

I play tenor.

Altos easier. Yeah. Thats it.

btw how did you get ancient saxes?

Grandma?

[blacknwhiteknight]

the c-melody looks like an alto body with a tenor neck

[wrestlinghead]

Sweet!!

[mastercangel]

wow i can't type ... o well you got the gist of it lol :P

[mastercangel]

nice sound on both ut watch you're posture wil end up ininjuries in the long run ... but ya nice soudn keep at it

[BRE2B]

very nice, but I would like to know what do you prefer: the alto sax or the melody?

[Leebm29]

There is a NEW C Melody sax on Ebay right now $795

[thepeople1325]

i doubt that it is new, or maybe its not from 1925 like his

[Leebm29]

YES IT IS BRAND NEW MADE IN 2008

[FIRELUIGI4]

Chinese crap probably.

[acitonj]

There is a company in New Zealand trying to bring back C-melodies.. it might be from there..

Or it could very well be Chinese shit :)

[FIRELUIGI4]

They are. All saxophones on that website have professional laquer or nickel plates for under $500. And they have a picture of a Chinese woman stenciling a saxophone in a dreay looking place, a possible sweat shop.

[lakersax21]

very nice tone add a little vibrato and it would be even better, you might try arching your tounge when articulating it will quit the splatting that you get when you start a note, overall great player, i love vintage saxes

[thecomedian55]

y are you such a fan of vintage horns? just wondering ,i was thinking of getting a c melody for myself.

[thecomedian55]

where did you find such a rare insrtument?

[stubs13]

C-melodies are still available to purchase used. You can find a decent Conn or Martin for under $1,500.

[McBc666]

i love both of them wicked pricey tho

[ottottojazz]

Genius!

[jmpfilms08]

holy cow. your amazing... nice c-melody sax...love to get my hands on one...

[garethmusic2006]

you are so gooood.!!!

very difficult stuff.

Great instruments too.

[stubs13]

the Conn 6M is one of my favorite saxophones

[valvetrom]

Good effort, look for Bass and drum

[ContrabassSaxophone]

add in some vibrato and it'll twice the quality.

[gambinotoo]

Just sold my father's old Martin HandcraftII C melody sax on Ebay. Wish now I'd kept it! Great playing! You may have a wee bit of competition soon in Scotland! LOL

[abukamoon]

"Bernie's Tune". Very nice sound.

[SaxophoneItalian]

Quello non è C- melody!!é tenore

[mrzog2000]

You are so lucky to have a treasure like the 1925 Conn. Never let it go and you'll always have "sax appeal"!

[eyeheartchrist]

yea c-melody horns are known for being quite out of pitch, but yea you are good, keep up the good work! :-)

[Jazzmaster95]

wow! that is really nice playing dude keep up the good work

[Caneinthehouse]

fag..why do you litter this vid with so much fucking cursing?? u see this kid with fucking beastly talent and you have 2 fucking say some shitty words..

[nickysaxpiccolo]

you play REALLY bright.

but w.e floats your boat.

[StridentBoy]

well, it could be his camera, because most videos end up sounding bright.

[Gwhiz0080]

YOU r such a little wiz and i encourage you to play music forever and ever and ever!!!!! Cya @ KPSC ON sATURDAY!!!- WITH GRAD BAND! rock on, and guess who this is from!
