  1. What to Buy & Why: Reeds and Misc.
    Hey everyone! So here we go again - another topic about reeds, which I and maybe some other curious classical players can profit from. After trying many, many synthetic reeds, I decided that I'm maybe not ready for it yet. I came back to my blue box Vandoren reeds - but that doesn't meen the...
  2. Reeds
    I play a lot in orchestral settings, covering oboe parts on soprano sax. I play on a Selmer Concept mouthpiece, and just bought a new to me used Yanagisawa SC-991 curved soprano which I am waiting for in the mail. Now with D'addario expanding their organic line, you can find their old packaging...
  3. Reeds
    Hello. I've been on the market for some good classical reeds to replace my Vandoren V21s(On tenor and alto), and I stumbled upon these: I've tried to look for information on these but it's been hard to find, seems like it's kind of rare, maybe even discontinued. Are these reeds for classical...
  4. Classical Saxophone
    Greetings fellow saxophonists, First of all, many thanks to those who picked up volume 1 of my chops series, blown away by the international scope of that text. Following on from volume 1 of Chops which sought to update all of our fundamental areas of study, Chops 2 focuses entirely on methods...
  5. Classical Saxophone
    Just had a conversation with a friend about the current state of classical saxophone- basically the fact that you need a degree (if not multiple) to be taken seriously in the classical saxophone world. I was trying to think of self-trained classical saxophonists (I know, a very short list if...

  7. Classical Saxophone
    Hi hi guys, the time has come for me to start constructing my final year recital, a 40 minute programme. My teacher has encouraged me to look outside the box when it comes to standard classical repertoire and have a look at new, innovative, obscure, not as well known and generally interesting...
  8. Selmer (Paris)
    Hi all, I recently purchased a newly overhauled MKVI tenor (111xxx) and have a couple of questions. Both pertain to me using it as a classical horn too, because I enjoy the feel and tone of the MKVI so much. First, when playing certain notes (low d up to g) at a ppp dynamic, the instrument...
  9. What to Buy & Why: Mouthpieces
    Hello, I'm 18 I own a Yamaha YTS-62 and I've been playing the tenor sax for about 3 years now I want to upgrade my Otto Link NY mouthpiece to something better. I have bought two from different suppliers because I thought the first one was defective but the other one did not please my ears...
  10. What to Buy & Why: Mouthpieces
    Hi there, Has anyone tried Ted's model alto mouthpiece? Apparently it came out a few months ago. Perhaps it is the refinement to the classic alto mouthpiece model. Ted mentioned that the new model (Ted Klum Model Alto) has a more consistent baffle compared to Classic Alto Mouthpiece. It is made...
  11. Alto mpc
    Hi there, I asked this from MojoBari as a reply to his comment but I thought I make it a separate entry since MojoBari may not be available to answer that. I was trying to find out Alto sax S80 C* mpc chamber size. Is it large chamber, Medium, or Small? I thought focus is one of the...
  12. Tenor mpc
    A while back I was looking at the Theo Wanne serial number guide on his website (can't find it anymore) to see the run of my Durga for baritone as I got it used, and I saw that it said that Theo's first run of Ambika's were made for classical playing. I've searched for information everywhere and...
  13. Playing Songs
    Hey all! I'm hoping to participate in a solo competition on alto this summer, and for this competition we (the performers) have to take care of all copyright issues. I was going to play the third movement of the Creston Sonata since I learned it in the past and it's just under 4 minutes, but the...

    Amanda & 'her' quartet..... May not be the most difficult pieces, but I enjoyed it quite a lot!
  15. Tone Producing & Embouchure
    Hello everybody, I'm new in the forum. I started saxophone playing classical music, then I stopped and now I'm learning jazz saxophone. In particular, I've changed my way of playing: I don't roll my lower lip over my teeth as I did before, and I try to play without too much tension in my facial...
  16. Classical Saxophone
    I am an amateur wind player who always enjoyed playing classical music for solo wind instrument accompanied by piano. I still play classical music, mostly with my EWI these days, a couple of times a week with pianist friends. I moved to EWI because it's so much easier to play well (good...
  17. Ligatures
    Hello all, I currently play on a Vandoren Optimum AL3 and a Jody Jazz Classic 6. I love both of these mouthpieces and I feel that I am starting to develop my own sound on them. However, my ligature for both of them is a Rovner Versa. On the Vandoren, I feel that the ligature does okay, but does...
