พี่เทพมากเลยครับ ผมเล่นมานานยังได้ไม่ถึงครึ่งเล­ย อยากได้เทคนิคจากพี่ต้องทำไงครั­บเนี่ย

[nealien]

Thanks for recording this, sounds pretty good

[shadowraven94]

I feel bad for people who make themselves look stupid by saying newer saxes are better than older ones... so uneducated... they don't make horns like they used to. With saxes, as long as the patent date is at least 1914 It's really amazing. During the 70's saxes were at their peak and have only gone down from there.

[bigbob66615]

Well said. Philistines.

[rockrhapsody123]

A lot of old saxes play really well, but some of the new ones are good too. I think people bothered preserving mainly good saxes from the 70s, so there's probably something of a selection bias at work here.

[DMANGUY14]

Yamaha 62 and JK SX90R

[SAXPLAYER128]

Depends which style of music your talking about, if classical then definetly not, and even for jazz not always.

[shadowraven94]

I'm not saying there aren't god saxes out there, it's just that even the student horns from the 70's are great pro horns today!

And a lot of people who know nothing about music think "Ooo shiny!" when they see new ones and disregard the fact that it has a bright and thin sound

[shadowraven94]

also classical music doesn't really call for bright horns ever... you'd have to get a darker heavier sax for that warm classical sound

Hardly any mordern-day saxes come that way.

[SAXPLAYER128]

True, I respect your opinion but I was just meaning to say that a lot of saxophones are excellent for classical, more so than the vintage ones.

I'm not biased anyway, my saxophones no spring chicken (Selmer Series 1)

[SaxophoneProductions]

1. heavier is not darker

2. saxes aren't really dark or bright. 90%+ of dark/bright is mouthpiece and reed

more modern classical saxophonist use modern horns that vintage BY FAR. the only vintage classical horn commonly used by pros is buescher and even then its not so common. when buying a classical horn, intonation and keywork is most important. keyword lets you play to speed and accuracy and being in tune is vital in classical music

[fasaxify]

Thats a lie!

First all the major classical beasts that i know, and i´ve had workshops with Delangle, Mario Marzi, Antonio Belijar, prefer a "bright" sounding sax, bright is a good becouse mean brilliance... so any of those play with selmer SII or SII. For classical it´s more important your horn is even in all the register and play technically perfect. That´s more important than the sound, becouse most of them uses closed mouthpieces so the bright horns can not sound that bright.

[DMANGUY14]

The only major problems with older saxs are well usually very expensive and usually tends to break more.

[MICROBIAL]

Excellent improvisation, your sax sound's great!

[wildman00sax]

It's not about the sax, it's about the saxophonist and nothing else.

If you have real sax skills (like the dude in the video), you can make even a rusty sax sound like gold.

[covertjon95]
