Hi guys,

usually i play with medium-hard reeds, alexander superial dc 3 1/2 or vandoren java.

i think i can make it more bright by using a softer reed....is there anybody that play with a similar setup???

thank you....Fabio

ps:sorry for my english...

you sound great.
You are already bright.
Keep doing what your doing.
Your sound is perfect.
So many players are always looking for the next best thing.
Sometimes, they find it.
Most times they don't.
Stay with what you have right now and carry on...go further.
good luck!

You sound great. "Night and Day" was awesome. I wouldn't change a thing!

 

[CountSpatula]

[FabioSaxMC]

I am glad to see that some very experienced members have said what I was thinking.... it sounds great, and is already 'bright'.
If it ain't broke don't try to fix it

 

[Martinman]

Nice sound! It is nice and bright, but not shrill.


Also, Fabio is a really cool name for a sax player

 

[patseguin]

I you need a more pop-oriented sound, maybe a Beechler Bellite is what you are looking for...

 

[CountSpatula]

I'd keep what you have and try to learn how to make your sound versatile...it's possible!

Fabio - have you tried playing with your tongue arched a bit more than usual?

Wow! You sound really great. I agree with what's already been said. I wouldn't change a thing.

I heard your clip and I know what you're talking about. I used a new Meyer 5 and switched to a Dukoff 7 which is brighter than what you're getting but it can get nasel if I'm not careful. A cheap alternative to the Duk is the rico Graphinite piece . I ordered one from WW and BWs yesterday so we'll see. You have the bop/jazz thing down and I understand what you're trying to do. Beechler metal is a good thing to try. Nelson Rangell among others have used that for pop. Good luck. Just don't ruin what you've got spending lots of time looking at pieces. Believe me, thats at time trap. K

I'm sorry, but I love your sound much so much, that prevents me from being able to provide any useful advice. That is, if I had any advice for you.

Also, you've got a convincing and satisfying delivery.

add new track

i've tried to use a softer reed and the result is good.
which reeds are better for a buzzing sound??

i have added a new track on my space with the new setup....

I can think of a lot of studio players who use or used NY Meyers, Phil Woods and Gary Foster among them. You can play pop with a NY Meyer, no problem.
