Great playing, also I'm wondering which mic you're using - thanks, Ken

[bobreynolds]

@saxscape Thanks, Ken. Recorded this on a ZOOM H2.

Could you give me some tips on how to do those quick altissimo runs you do in this video near the middle to the end?Thanks. Also what ligature do you use?

[bobreynolds]

@coltranesaxIV the "quick" runs come from lots of practicing slow over time in that range. My best advice is treat the entire range of your horn the same. If you think of altissimo as some separate, alternate universe it always will be. If you're going to practice a major scale, it should be evenly executed from low Bb/B all the way up to the highest "altissimo" note you can play. Hope that makes sense. Ligature is a Rovner.

Bob you have such a great tone.

@TJSax1986 look at his old answer

@bobreynolds

What's the absolute highest note that you can play on your saxophone? Also, is your setup free blowing considering your blowing on 9* mouthpiece and a 3.5 reed. That's impressive!
