I made my choice! Thank You! ❤🎷🎷🎷

Sick bro-trombone player

Hello, Could you specify why you consider the saxophone to be for students and not for professionals? Could it be the material? The sound? Tell me more about that.

The player and mouthpiece are 60 percent of what you hear. What kind of horn did Charlie Parker play? Whatever he could borrow because his horn was in the pawn shop most of the time. :)

Why do you think it’s not a pro horn? I have the exact type from eastern music. I got pisoni pads, steel springs, mother of pearl, metal thumb rest on it, ribbed construction, great engraving all over and it sounds good. What makes you not think it’s pro

Nice work Roger. Very enjoyable! @saxxykv is humble. He is pretty good too :)

Very cool. Huge fan of not needing a special high-F-sharp key. You have a great sound!

How do you compare it with the Signature Custom raw?? I am actually thinking of getting one of these eastern music saxophones haha

What a bangin sound!

Stay on the SBA…!!!

First off you have a great sound. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I play a Conn 10m but prior to that my main horn was a SBA from 1951. I hear a lot of the same elements in your sound on the SBA, perhaps what you described as resistance on the SBA vesus the TJ. What turned my attention towards the Conn sound was, in part, the larger bore. The bottom end of the sax speaks so well. The TJ horn has more of an open sound as you describe it. I have played this model and was impressed. If you can afford to keep the SBA do so!!! Can you get the same level of "sizzle" harmonic overtones within the normal range of the horn? Mechanically the TJ once set up is a new horn, what is the state of repair of the SBA? You bought the TJ for a reason, trust your judgement. Thanks again for sharing

love this man

very nice ❤ I aspire to be as good as you hehe by the way, have you noticed that the 3 sizes of the Select Jazz reed sound more edgy than the 2's?? I used the 3S and now the 2H. I switch between the two depending on what type of music I play.

Snyggt!

I bet the RAW XS was much heavier than the SBA.

Nice demo. Allowed us to clearly hear the comparison. Right off the bat I preferred the Trevor James, which I was surprised by as I am a SBA fan. It just seemed to speak better and had more resonance when you played vibrato. They are similar though so I guess it has to do with how it feels to you in your hands. I think that some sax players get caught up in having a "vintage horn" to show off to friends when they would sound better on a newer horn, although there are some vintage horns that blow everything out of the water but those are harder to find these days. I just went to a concert and heard Ralph Moore "live" on his Selmer Mk VI tenor and it sounded awesome but then, it was Ralph Moore. He would sound awesome on anything!

Who are the musicians? And where on the planet earth is this?

Yeah, guys, the spirit is calling you. Amazing how this vibe lives on and on. I think it is an important message that can bring people together.!

Is this a modern Florida??

I have a 45 year old Couf/Keilwerth Superba 1 tenor and a modern Yamaha 82Z. Love them both. The old horn is freer blowing and has a certain heftiness to its sound with the sound feeling more ‘compressed’. The 82Z has a more focused sound and is the most in tune sax I’ve ever played. Of the Selmers I’ve played, I’ve always liked the Balanced Actions more. The Superba 1’s keywork seems modeled after the BA’s. Both my horns are the two best saxes I’ve ever tried over the last 40 years of playing. There are some great modern horns out there, but some won’t even consider trying them.

Good sound where i can find a good vintage otto link....thanks from Paris 👍

I think the SBA could have more focus and power to the sound. And the Conn had more of a softer and mellower tone. I have a 1939 10M that plays absolutely beautifully.

I play a RAW tenor and I'm very happy with it. Listening to the test the SBA seems to have more body in the opening phrase and it evens up thereafter. Agree that you can push the RAW and sound will remain intact. Can you let us know why you bought the RAW and why you play the RAW more than the SBA at this time. Thank you.

This guy 👦 speaks with an accent 😮😮😢😊

Great sound, a bit like Charlie Rouse. Compliments!

Have a MKVI 77xxx and a RAW, usin a Meyer and Java 3.5 reeds Love them both. Seems like the latter is design on the Selmer, so so similar. The RAW looks "vintage" after 5 years!! Brill. Selmer would have it if I had to choose (and I am not falling for the Selmer hype - it is just a musical instrument after all) because of the sound and the feel of having it in the hands. But there we go. Nice video.

Even through my iPad, the difference is huge. SBA takes the prize. So much color in sound

Muy lindo!!. Que saxo es?; Buescher, Conn??

No escucho grandes diferencias. quizás el T.James sea un poco más corpóreo que el SBA, aunque no tanto. Se escucha por encima de tus saxos tu propio sonido. Saludos desde el lejano sur del sur

SBA wins it.... Stronger mids...The Trevor James doesn't have as much body....

Der Klang ist für mich gleich!

Обожаю саксофон и его покорителей! Мне лично играли и я была счастлива 👍✌️🙏😊

Hey Roger,you sound great.Stop with mouthpieces,lol.

Sounds fantastic still! What ligature is that?

nice tone…!!!

Both sounded damn good! I do think the metal piece was smoother in tone.

I should add, beautiful performance ❤

As a former 10M owner... They are way over hyped. When i switched to a Yamaha 62II... It felt like i had been hindered by the action of the 10M, and intonation was no comparison. Ergonomics were just not very developed in saxes pre Mark VI. If you want to wrestle with your horn, the 10m can sound very beautiful.

Sounds great both! May I ask what kind of recording gear are you using, microphone, soundcard?

I’m curious how you figured out the file to 3d print? I’ve played several printed mouthpieces, but just purchased them as opposed to having them printed. Also, what material did you choose? Have you tried printing in metal?

great ! can you send the file for printing?

at first listen I would've preferred the 3D printed, evenly balanced and had more core sound to it. but on the second listen, I noticed there's a distinct character (which comes to me as like playing in a live setting with a parabolic shaped eq mix) from it that I have noticed with other 3D mouthpieces that I have listened here in youtube as well. nothing wrong with that "character" it's just there. maybe it's the material? idk I may be hearing things hahaha 😂

Snyggt!

How does the 3D printed mpc feel to play in comparison to the link?

Two different sounds, I would go with the the 3D. The original sounds like it has been played out.

Sounds great!

France, Germany, Elkhart In., pro saxes are pretty much equal. If the same mpc/reed setup is used, Conn comes out with an edge here.

Ive got a 1955 mark 6 and 1953 10m for those of you that dont know. The 10m has a 6.25 inch bell. The 6 is 6 inches. I use a super tone master on the 10m and a selmer soloist short shank on the 6. Dont know how much difference an sba is but my tech says my 6 has alot of Sba parts. On the 53 10m it has straight tone holes. Both are dark and have lots of color. I wouldnt part with either of them.😊

Great tone! What sax and mouthpiece are you using?
