If I add a horn to the end, would it mess up the tuning?

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows about the saxophonist by the name of John Park. He was the lead alto for the Stan Kenton orchestra and he is unbelievably talented. If you have not checked him out I highly recommend listening to some of his recordings. There are only a handful of his recordings still floating around but you can find most of them on YouTube. Also, if anyone has any idea what model saxophone he played on please let me know. At some point I believe I heard that he played on a Yamaha but I don't know what model it was.

I primarily play brass, French horn in honors, trombone/trumpet in jazz and some more, I recently got a clarinet and an alto saxophone, I use strength 2 (not 2.5) Reeds on clarinet (because I can’t point my air down for the life of me) but haven’t touched the saxophone yet, should I go with the same strength or try 2.5?

I have recently been looking for a new soprano sax as the one lent to me by school (yani) has had to be returned.

What brands and models would you recommend for classical sax?

I have a budget of $9000(NZD)

Thanks a lot

In what ways could playing on an old mouthpiece affect a person and their playing ability?

I have a song that I want to record a short (under ten second) solo for. Really just following the verse melody. Maybe twice one for "dirty" sax if it sounds better.

I looked to Fiverr and I'm okay to pay it, but for such a short thing was $5 for the part plus a $2.50 for some reason. Anyway, the player got 1/3 or less of the money I'd be paying. It just seems uncool to pay fiverr so much and the musician to get so little.

Anyway, sorry if this isn't the right forum. I don't see many posts like this, but it doesn't seem to break the rules. Mods please remove if it does.

...and as someone who goes absolutely ape shit from the sound of footsteps and things bumping against my wall...I'm strangely not that bothered by it.

Makes me wonder, though...what is it about the sax that lets it penetrate walls so easily? Or are the walls in my condo thinner than I thought?

Hey guys. I’ve been playing Alto saxophone for the past 14 years and the Yamaha 275 for the past 10 years. I’m looking for a switch for something professional grade. I’d like something within $1000, Yamaha and Selmer are definitely preferred brands given their reliability and longevity. Any recommendations would be fantastic. Thank you!

Edit: Im looking for something more suited for jazz because of vibrato. ALTO SAX PLEASE

Hello, Reddit!

I'm buying a tenor saxophone from Canada - British Columbia to be more exact - and having it shipped to the UK.

These prices from popular shipping companies are outrageous.

People who purchased saxophones or any other relatively heavy objects over the ocean, what company did you rely on?

I switched to a Meyer 6 mouthpiece from my 4c Yamaha (this is for alto sax) and I squeak periodically especially when articulating large intervals. I was on a 3 reed vandoren blue box for the Yamaha stock mouthpiece but switched to 2.5 for the Meyer mouthpiece. Some of it does have to do with my tongue positioning but even that's not consistency the reason. I've been playing very sporadically with this new mouthpiece for a month or two now. Just wondering if there's anything I can do to reduce squeaking.

Purchased a "The Martin" C melody saxophone est 1922 anyone know the potential value if I was to sell it

I’m decently new on sax but native to clarinet and have had a lot of bs with tenor sax reeds. I play an Otto Link 9* with vandoren v16 1.5 reeds. I was wondering if plastic reeds are an option (since I double a lot). I mostly play jazz and am going for a georgie auld in benny goodman’s band kind of sound. If some wooden reeds give me like an A+ sound, would a plastic one be able to give me like a solid B+ or would it be worse?

i’m a tenor player who plays on vandoren java green reeds i’m wondering what others play on too!

I brought an amati super classic 3 from a man for 500 aud, he was selling it for 1000, but I was able to get it way cheaper from him because he said he doesn't use it anymore. He told me he originally got it for 1500.

I've found various sources on the internet to what they are worth but can't find a straight answer. Can somone help me out.

can anyone identify this saxophone? the guy hasnt responded to my message yet but it's in my price range and i want a pro.

Sooo... I'm continuing my quest for bari.

What price tag would you consider fair on a B&S blue label bari?

It is in perfect playing condition and is in a pretty good shape overall (considering aesthetics as well). I had a very short test run on it but based on that the sound is quite impressive as well.

Thanks for any input in advance!

Greetings. Our daughter has been playing on a used YAS-23 we picked up a few years ago and we are looking at buying her a new sax for the next school year. I was looking at the YAS-62 iii but came across a YAS-62 04 model. I am not able to find much info on the 04 model. Is this made in Japan and is it authentic? Any other information on this model would be helpful. Thanks.

Looks like the notes are "Salt peanuts"

Someone posted this on a second hand market site near where I live for a very decent price. Not much to work with, but can anyone identify the model from this picture?
