Hi i have an used yas22 . How is it compared with the yas23 ?

thank you for this video!! btw you look like Seth McFarlene the creator of family guys which is a compliment :DD

Hi Mr. Jeremy, it's already around 1 year since i learn saxophone (alto) and i already bought my first high baffle mouthpiece (Barkley pop kustom 7) and i already use it for 3 months but why my tone still dark even when I'm using bright mouthpiece? Thanks

Great review mate.

What about CHROMATIC notes?

Thank you! I have my exam in an hour and this helped me a lot!

What mouthpiece do you think it will give us the easiest and best sound on this Yamaha?

Hello Jeremy, You are an exceptionally gifted teacher. I played alto from 5th through senior in high school, just a semester of bari in college-not enough , what a blast!! -once the pads were seated properly in a shop. I walked away from sax, and have focused on Baroque recorders (a very easy transition from sax) and piano and some other things, and was content to be done with the saxophone. But it was an old friend I had abandoned, and it was finally time to reconnect. Your videos have encouraged and inspired me, and have enabled this step. Thank you.

Thanks!

Hello, Jeremy! I'm a beginner/intermediate alto player, and I've been interested in buying a Yanagisawa metal mouthpiece (tip opening 7). At the same time, I have been recommended Otto Link metal mouthpieces as starter metal mouthpieces. Currently, I use 3d printed mouthpieces (not SYOS)-would it be worth it to buy a new mouthpiece like the Yanagisawa or the Otto Link?

Thanks a lot!👍🏼❤️

These tips helped indeed! And the entire course is simply amazing! Thank you, Jeremy for putting together this extremely comprehensive course. Where would I be without you? ♥️

The reed tip is SPOT on, I was using a chipped reed for a while before I changed it and when I switched to a brand-new reed, the sound quality improved so much that it shocked me! And I think I’m guilty of pushing my bottom lip too far over my teeth, I will try a more natural position tonight! Thanks Mr. Trezona!

Thank you very much... greetings from New York👌👌👌🇺🇸🇵🇱🗽

Actually, for the price, not bad, but chuck that stock mouthpiece and spend the money with a good one. The Yamaha 4C will do the trick. That Meyer does that sax well. Thanks for your videos! Cheers Mate!

the real Test Would be in the hands of a Beginner

Thank you so much!

I am a advanced saxophone player, and I enjoyed watching your video👍

Thanks

" You can make it sound like anything using a DAW" , then you didn't even use a sax sound on your DAW. What good is a synth strings sound when we just want to hear it sound like sax. : /

I was feeling bad for taking a day off from practicing. But now I am ok.

Good video but you look SO much like Seth macfarlane

I still have my YAS-21 from around 1980!! I also have a Yamaha tenor from the 1970s but it is in storage and I am uncertain of the model number.

You are so pleasant to watch. You gave a thorough and pleasant review of this instrument. And you’re so handsome too.

thia is proof that the player is more important

about 9 years since I started playing sax again (after a 7 year hiatus) and I use my YTS 23 Tenor for everything and has not let me down.

i've been playing a used jean baptiste from Sam Ash for 7 years. It cost me $200, and still plays very well. I also have been using jean baptiste 2.5 reeds since I started playing. Only ever had 1 non-functional reed ever.

When I started playing at age 5-6, I used Vandoren 2.5 reeds now after 10 years I use Vandoren 3.0 V12, and 3.5 plastic French cut reeds.

What about the Glory E Flat Alto Saxophone?

Tenor sounds thinner. Alto sounds a little thicker to me

Watched this video and bought YAS23, it’s your fault 😅

Nice review, thanks

Expected to like tenor more, but the clarity and sensitive tone of the Alto is my vote!

I've found that they're excellent for reaching altissimo notes.

This is so helpful because I am a middle school student and I have been playing tuba for 2 years now, but I decided I wanted to switch to bari sax for jazz band because I've been wanting to play saxophone for a while and this is my first saxophone, and this video is so helpful for me.

Now do the same with the other two pieces that fit in either end of the neck👍 Use the other 2 pieces together and they do reduce volume noticably. The bell piece doesnt have much of an effect

I bought the S56 model about 8 months ago. The keywork is different and the body shape is slightly different, which makes it feel like an anorexic, minaturised Akai. Essentially though - it's the same instrument - but upmarket! It's absolutely brilliant - from the point of playing flute for almost 50 years - and I love it. However - I made a plastic 'octave-rocker' and glued it over the + and - octave switches - which makes the switching more natural and far easier. I also carved a simple wooden finger rest and fitted it with a hook for a lanyard - and glued it in the appropriate position. It's now a very much better instrument to play. I love using it as a midi controller - but it appears to be sending the breath control as cc11 - so I midi-map that to the master volume on my softsynths; I'll have to use a host program instead of the standalones to try and map to multiple controls. As far as the synths go - I play DiscoDSP's OB-Xd, Dexed... and Fluidsynth (soundfonts) - and have a lot of fun! I also find that some of the internal sounds 'beef-up' if you play them through an external amp - I use a little 10W JVC. Treat it as it is - it ain't a sax - but it's an instrument in it's own right - and too much fun not to take everywhere! PS - don't forget to use the supplied mouthpieces - and breath sensitivity level S3 seems to be the best!

I put a towel in my sax and it sometimes works.

I've repaired, refaced, cleaned, polished, filled in teeth divots, banded cracked shanks on literally hundreds of woodwind mouthpieces over the past 30-35 years. I have also taught many others this art. I've had a lot of material published online. If a player finds the vinegar descaling offensive, try lemon juice. Olive oil is a popular remedy to shine up the dull finish, but let me recommend using a soft cloth (t-shirt material) and Mcguire's or other quality plastic polish to shine it up, and do it by hand only. This will also remove the green or brown oxidation of true hard rubber. DO NOT allow anyone to machine buff the mouthpiece. I have seen many facings ruined from that.

I have played sax for over 60 years, some pro work, but mostly just making music albums (CD's and sound cloud) for myself and friends and family. My biggest challenge through the years was backing tracks. If I was still active, this would be perfect. Makes me want to go back and start creating again! LOL. Thanks for the review. Great video!

Great review, looks like an impressive instrument for the price. Advice on EWIs: don’t think of them as a “digital sax.” Think of them as a synthesizer you can control using some of your saxophone technique. You’ll be way happier with the results when it’s framed that way. 😁

I would love to do the beginners course as my 6yo daughter is about to start with sax at her school and I want to learn too as an adult. But unfortunatelly in my country we use Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La ... well you know our Key signature in Spanish is different.

How does this compare to similar instruments around the same price point. What made you pick this one over the other ones?

That's very impressive for this price! Thanks for bringing it to our attention! Is it possible to pair it with Bluetooth headphones?

*Correction* I completely missed the fact that the box also included 2 silicone mouthpiece covers! What would you guys use a MIDI wind controller for? For those interested, here is the product link: amzn.to/4byDqqN (Use code 05SaxTuition for 5% discount at checkout)
