    Alto 4 sounds very similar to an accordion.

  • @waykami2186
    @waykami2186 8 годин тому

    You sound great on both horns, but I prefer the 66R sound because it has a traditional core tone. Could the 66R be similar to the MkVi and system76 similar to the Mkvii? Mkvii had a bigger bore. I had both, currently using a S80 series I, which I like very much. Didn’t like the reference 54 - too dark and restrictive. Yamaha 82z are great too.

    U wouldn’t expect a horn of this price to sound as good as this but that tone sounds at least 3-5 times what it costs :) really great horn at an even greater price point 👍🏼

    Jim is such a great presenter. I’ve always enjoyed and learned from his videos. It’s interesting how much of his Scottish accent he’s lost. He sounds so different from his early videos. Intentional? Puzzling.

    I'm keen to own a sax which lends itself to both jazz and classical. Being on a budget I'm keen to know if this fits the bill. This review seems to suggest it's versatile. Any guidance appreciated.

  • @waykami2186
    @waykami2186 22 години тому

    Gold plated has a darker but full resonant sound. Solid silver has more higher frequencies and vibrant sound, the gold lacquer is nice but has less frequencies and projection. I would prefer the sterling silver setup.

    I really like the name "The Duke". It sounds very posh and British. My thoughts would be a tuxedo dressed man with a Top hat. The look of the guard keys seems appropriate for that warm sounding horn. Cheers on your review and other reviews, Jim! (From an American living in Japan) That is a BOSS looking mouthpiece and ligature combination.

    Thanks for the fine demo. I just got mine from 'Sweetwater Music' and love the free blowing sound with a very tight mechanism. Full tone to sub-tone is a breeze and pitch and timbre is very musical all the way into the altissimo register. Thanks Jay for this 'game changer' BetterSax!

  • @shipsahoy1793
    @shipsahoy1793 День тому

    I have a simple question.. if a sax that's adequate sonically, ergonomically, playability, reliability-wise, intonation-wise, etc., for an intermediate to advanced player, or "adequate" for a pro beater, what would be the point of ever buying a sax 4x to 6 or 7x more expensive ?

    • @gib321
      @gib321 День тому

      There is probably no point at all as we know the marginal difference in the quality of the instrument is not proportional to the additional multiples in price. Whilst it is said that you should get the best instrument you can afford, players of average skill will not get an additional benefit from having a very top quality instrument simply because they have not the skill level to get that small marginal benefit that the very best musicians will extract from the very best and most expensive of instruments. That said it is nice to own a beautifully made instrument if cost is not a problem. Stephen Howard of SH Woodwind has an interesting article regarding price relative to quality on his site.

    • @shipsahoy1793
      @shipsahoy1793 День тому

      @@gib321 Ha.. that's exactly how I feel about other instruments .. asking for sax, bc, not being the "greatest" sax player, for me it seems to rest much more on me and the mouthpiece, rather than the horn, but facility does enter the picture on more technical passages. Btw, I was interested in checking out that article you mention on the website, but I can't find the link?

    I’ve been concerned about this horn’s quality. When the alto first came out they were partnered with Conn but now they are not using Conn to manufacture them anymore so just wonder if the quality dipped to that or a regular Chinese made sax with good branding and marketing behind it.

      Did you see how Jim noted that he loved the front E/F? I've noted from some of your videos, Jay, you mentioning your frequent use of the front E/F fingerings regularly, so glad to hear the horn is setup well for it, not surprised!

    The BOSS Gene Ammons played a 60’s Ebolin and his tone was unrivaled. It was given a custom opened tip that you could park a car in. Boss is Back late 60’s then claim there is a better mouthpiece. The new Brill line doesn’t come close to the vintage workmanship and design.
