hi jeremy, i have a question. what happens if you keep the sax on the stand too long? will it collect dust, oxidate, or damage the instrument in any way? would it be ok to keep it on the stand at all times?

@SaxTuition 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Willi, yes absolutely, you could keep the sax on the stand at all times - the worst thing that would happen is that it would collect a bit of dust, which wouldn’t be a problem. As long as it’s not stored outside you won’t have any problems at all 👍

Hey Jeremy... would it be okay if I store the sax inside the case with a stand-up position after I'm done playing for the day?

@alexschenk2942 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Jeremy - where is safe to grab a straight soprano? I feel awkward holding all the weight on just the bell and rush to get another hand underneath it (when lifting it out of the case, for instance) just so I feel comfortable and get it connected to my neck strap (when I then feel much more in control), but I'm not sure if perhaps there's a better way to be holding/lifting it? Basically it feels...wrong...to be holding it by an extreme end - in the case of an alto/tenor, the bell is much closer to center mass, so holding it there feels natural.

Hey Alex, great question! It’s totally ok to use your other hand the pick up and support the instrument, just as long as you’re not holding it by the keys.. totally agree this is more awkward on the straight soprano! The more you get a feel for the instrument the more you get a sense of how much pressure you can really apply to the body.. sounds like you’re being careful so I’m sure you’ll be ok! 👍

What about grabbing the saxophone by the bell-to-body brace? What is better, a tall sax stand (like the DS730B Hercules stand) or a small one (like DS630B)?

@SaxTuition 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Hadrian. I don’t recommend grabbing the saxophone by the bell- to body brace. Regarding stands, either of those Hercules stands should work just fine. They’re very high quality stands. Regards, Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy , is the rico orange box good for classical music?

@SaxTuition 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Aparajit, I haven't played orange box Rico's for a long time, but they used to be the cheapest reeds that Rico made, which made them quite inconsistent. If you've got the time / expertise to use a reed tool like the Reed Geek and do a little bit of work on them I believe they can be made to play quite well! Otherwise if you're still fairly new to the saxophone but would like more of a classically focussed reed I would recommend the Vandoren Traditional (blue box) reeds, or the D'Addario Royal (formally Rico Royal). All the best!

Hi dear brother! My question is: im a beginner. I want bay saxophone. I like curved soprano saxophone Is this saxophone beater for me has a beginner? Or alto saxophone? Please give me idea. Thanks....

@SaxTuition 3 жыл бұрын

Hey man! The alto saxophone will actually be quite a lot easier for you to learn on as a beginner, and you'll probably find them more affordable than the soprano saxes. That being said, if you're totally set on starting on soprano, I don't like to discourage anyone from trying it out since you can overcome the challenges if you're dedicated to practicing it. I made a video about the soprano sax here you might find useful! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b6pxps9px5zOo5s.html

Much love friend. I wanted to tell you that The Father in Heaven’s Name is not “the LORD” it is YAHUAH (YA-WHO-AH) The Son’s Name is NOT “jesus” it is YAHUSHA (YA-WHO-SHA). We must repent of our sins (sin is transgression of The Law Of YAHUAH The Father in Heaven. The Law YAHUAH The Father Gave through Moses). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On YAHUSHA The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins! Let’s all run to HIM today while we still can. Much love to you friend.
