i previously owned a Selmer SA80 II and now use a Yamaha Custom Z Mark II with a Theo Wanner Brahma 7* mouthpiece and this setup is powerful. There’re definite sounds differences between two, but it’s also about response and feedback from the horn and of course feel and key action. My alto is a Yanagisawa AW030 and plays very well top to bottom which is why I may consider a Yanagisawa Tenor in the future.
@@rickstokes2239 You wouldn’t be disappointed! One thing Yanagisawa does to a very high level (among many others) is consistency throughout the range. I had a T991 a while ago and it was a great horn! Let me know if you get the Yani tenor!
That's fair. Some people notice a difference, some people don't, but it's ok either way. It's interesting though that the Yamaha sounds remarkably similar to the Mark VI, even though it's a beginner level horn.
From this moment, life has begun From this moment, you are the one Right beside you is where I belong From this moment on From this moment, I have been blessed I live only for your happiness And for your love, I'd give my last breath From this moment on I give my hand to you with all my heart I can't wait to live my life with you, I can't wait to start You and I will never be apart My dreams came true because of you From this moment, as long as I live I will love you, I promise you this There is nothing I wouldn't give From this moment on, oh You're the reason I believe in love And you're the answer to my prayers from up above All we need is just the two of us My dreams came true because of you From this moment, as long as I live I will love you, I promise you this There is nothing I wouldn't give From this moment, I will love you As long as I live, from this moment on in case someone need it🎉
I did not say baritone saxophones are in Bb. I said they are in Eb, like the alto, when talking about the baritone saxophone. I said the baritone is in Bb (not baritone saxophone)which is a brass instrument. When I said the baritone is in Bb, I was referring to the baritone, a brass instrument, not the baritone saxophone.
@@TexarJJF I mentioned that the soprano is the highest of the main 4 saxophones (sop, alto, tenor, bari). The highest saxophone is the soprillo, which is even higher than the sopranino
Thank you! It's great that you like the tenor the most. When you get a saxophone, I have a video on how to play the saxophone for beginners, so you should check that out too! Why is the tenor your favorite?
@@dustinhellen I like the darker sound and my favourite Player is Junior Walker. My favourite Band is Tower of Power (maybe you know them), there are also 2 Tenor Players. They are awesome. I already watched them live last year and I'll do it again this year. And of course I'll watch your Sax starter video 😃🎷
Also , I was surprised when you compared the sound of the curved soprano with that of a alto as similar ( alto is tuned in Eb unlike soprano that is tuned Bb , it makes more sense comparing it with the tenor since it is also tuned in Bb).
I recently made a video comparing all three, but I didn’t compare the soprano to the alto in a specific video. Soprano is closer in pitch to alto than it is to the tenor, even though soprano and tenor are both in Bb and an octave apart.
Yanagisawa makes the best curved sopranos on the market, so if you upgrade to a Yanagisawa curved, chances are you'll never get another one. I absolutely love mine. Keep me updated!
@@dustinhellen your videos give me hope. Hardly anyone plays curved so I was thinking of straight soprano but it’s great seeing you play a sweet sound on curved
@@kevinwayne8696 Thank you! I am really trying to promote the curved. Not only is it more comfortable, but it sounds better too, in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
La diferencia de precio NO ESTA SOLO EN SONIDO, pero en la duradera del instrumento sin dañarse con los años y con el uso, porque por el sonido el Yamaha YTS23 no es que gana, pero es muy parecido al otro y son 1000€ no 6000€😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍
I own both. From my own testing, and listening to another player with my instruments, from out in the audience I could not hear a difference. Sitting in my sax quartet, the other players say they can hear me on the curved soprano better. When I play the curved it sounds brighter to me because the bell is aimed u at my face, but nobody else hears it except up close. The curved is better for playing into a mic on a stand, just like alto or tenor. The straight is harder to mic in a live performance. You really need the double mic setup. I've played soprano sax for about 50 years.
Do you have a video on how maybe different brands of mouth pieces might change the tone. I read that Stan Getz used a certain brand of hard rubber mouth pieced or actually different brands of hard rubber mouth pieces I think to get different tonal qualities. Maybe the mouth pieces makes a difference in the tonal qualities between the Selmer and the Yamaha? I was looking online and saw some hard rubber mouth pieces really get pricey. For someone like me does it really matter? Maybe in a month i might be able to play a tune like row row row your boat! Anyway I hooked to laptop to better speakers and am amazed how good the YTS-23 sounds. What mouth piece do you use for it. Is it the factory one?
I have a Jody Jazz metal mouthpiece, and I don’t own a hard rubber piece for tenor because I don’t need one for the music i play on tenor. I did do a hard rubber comparison video for soprano, but not for tenor. If I can track down some more mouthpieces for testing ill do a video on that for tenor.
I wanted to add something. I purchased a Yamaha YTS-23 about 10 years ago. Slightly used at a music store called Music and Arts. I got a good deal on it because it was slightly used as a rental. I started to learn it and wanted to play a song for my mother in law and she died and i felt so bad i just put the instrument in storage. Anyway, I've been pretty ill with sinus and ear infections but after watching your video I am setting a goal to get better and to start learning and playing this great instrument.The meds I'm on aren't really doing it for me but i am now setting a positive goal to feel better, I'm praying to the Lord above and also thinking being positive will really really help me. I didn't know how good the YTS-23 is until I saw your video! I have a great instrument and I;'m going to learn it and get proficient. I'm 63 years old but I can do it! Thanks! Your informative and positive video about the YTS-23 really helped me. I think I can start trying again in maybe 2 weeks.
if my eyes were closed I would think that was a clarinet or oboe maybe its the style of music you played but ill always prefer the straight all day but that was a well detailed explanation
I think only downside of 23 is simplified mechanic of left pinky (and probably lack of high f#, but i suppose lower notes you need more on tenor). Otherwise, it is a great instrument for its price. Well-built and tuned well.
C melody also has a curved neck fyi, its simply smaller or inbetween the alto and tenor. Tenor takes getting used to, but I prefer it as far as range. The low Bb is incredibly resonate.
great tutorial, I really like the curved, much better, it sounds a little darker, it's much more comfortable, you can even play while lying on the couch at home while watching a movie, and it doesn't sound so loud that the neighbor could be bothered, although they can. put a volume reducer
