Straight comparison-- no comments from Roger, just blowing scales and a bit of messing around on 109000 serial mk 6 and P Mauriat PMST 86 Tenor- swapping horns etc

  • Now don't crucify me here, but I like the 86 more. It's actually BECAUSE the VI is brighter that I like the 86. The 86 has a darker, more resonant sound, which is what I'm looking for. It basically almost comes down to Rollins vs. Coltrane. Do you want to sound Sonny, or John? I personally am partial to the darker sound of Rollins.

    But thanks for the video, this is definitely going to help ne out here, and excellent playing.

  • Thanks for your comments!! Hey I play the 86 over my mark 6 for similar reasons but they both are great!

  • I'm not sure if its the reed or the horn....but the 86UL sounds like it has a few minor leaks, especially in the lower register. As always Roger, you sound incredible!!!! Love your playing!

  • There are no leaks. the microphone is distorting more on the 86 as it has a bigger / louder sound--- using laptop to record!!

  • mark vi all the way, more character

  • The 86 sounds a little ballsier and the MkVI a little more lyrical. Bet the Mauriat could be lightened up a little if that suited the player's style. The difference between Rollins and Coltrane on the MkVI was the difference between a 10* with soft reeds and a 4 or 5 with hard reeds.

  • i DONT KNOW IF I HAVE A GOOD SOUND ON MY SAX, PLEASE SEE MY VIDEO

  • They are both amazing, especially in the hands of a brilliant player such as yourself. I found myself switching between horns... However, the Mark VI does have a little more edge I think, but its mainly only noticeable side by side, and so overall, the Mark VI is a better horn, but as far as practicality goes, the Mauriat is fantastic for its price.

  • good sound

  • Both horns are incredible. The Mark VI is better I think, but not by too much. But the mauriat is probably a LOT more affordable.
