sugar belly playing his bamboo saxophone

[Jianju69]

The way he dances around the rhythm is amazing. Makes me want to become a sax player!

[HARVSTO]

holy damn that's FUCKING EPIC!!!! sry I cursed but i just can't deliver my feeling otherwise.

[sopranojoe11]

If I was a millionaire, I would buy this guy a real saxophone just because he had the desire to make his own out of cardboard.

[blancaluzdelsol]

[harktheherald]

[NyabinghiJazz]

I love the sound of his horn. And he created that all by himself. He is a genius.

[Gam3rzAzn]

awesome!! thats prolly how street sax started.

[jamesvargassax]

real ingenuity!

if ever i got stuck on a desert island without my sax i hope i could come up with such an instrument!

[JamaicanMusicCulture]

This man has been making music for decades before his death but it is so hard to find all his old music.

[Gilleece666]

Wow, that sounds great! Really nice happy feel to it!

Great stuff!

[mikeygeneral]

Only black people man.

[Saxodude95]

[TheNeaL777]

This man was AWESOME!!! Seek out a recording of his tune, "Shake Up Adina."

[DesertigeI]

love that sound xD

[bn31395]

Good Idea Making A HomeMade Saxaphone but it didn't sound too good. I wish there were as many homemade saxophone videos as there is homemade cigar box guitar videos on youtube.

[anekam1]

Good Idea your parents made a child, but too bad its brain is similar to a ball sack dipped in glass scraped against a chalkboard.

[pele2378]

LMAOOOOOOOOO!!

[dotheunexpected]

But it didnt sound good? are you kidding me? I'd like to see anyone TRY to make such an instrument out of such diverse material as that and make it sound better

[shmeexkenny]

that's a cute tone he's got there. a mix between saxaphone and trumpet. it's unique!

[Spongebob11223344]

yuck...

William Walker, known to all as Sugar Belly, developed on his own the instrument he called the bamboo saxophone, and played it with facility, style, passion and joy. At the height of his popularity in the late 1950s Sugar Belly was one of the important figures in the Jamaican music scene, turning his homemade saxophone into a natural vehicle for a distinctively Caribbean musical style.

[unionofonion]

That was incredible I tell you all, incredible.

People keep saying R.I.P is he really gone? I would love to buy a cd of his music, no joking here.

[unclevernon]

Hi,

I'm afraid you will not find a full CD of Sugar Belly (but maybe I'm wrong?).

He does however appear on a number of various artist collections and he released a number of vinyl singles and albums.

Good luck.

[unionofonion]

Thanks. I really like how he plays.

If you're interested, there's a guy in Hawaii who makes these really good pocket saxaphones. It's called the Maui Xaphoon. There's a bamboo sax and a cheaper plastic version. I got the plastic one for around 60 bucks and it is great! I believe it's at www.xaphoon.com
