Fiddling around with reeds makes me wish I was a trumpet player

Kyle! I was his private sax teacher many years ago in Chicago. Great to see him on this channel! So happy he’s making a wonderful career playing the saxophone!

You promise I'll not ruin my reeds?

@lunaticleone8534 2 года назад

I hate that I just watched this video, and i already spent 250 on a new mouthpiece and ligature and I can't buy this too lmao

For the people on the fence because of the (absurdly) high price, the ReedGeek is nothing more than a piece of tool steel with some convenient shapes cut into it. You can buy blanks for a couple of bucks at machining stores as 'lathe toolbits' for about 1/20th of the price of a reedgeek, I've been using these for a while and they work great. These toolbits are made out of high speed steel and won't lose their edge any time soon, and if you know someone with a grinder you can even put in the rounded top yourself.

I need a Finger Geek. Reeds aren’t my problem.

@kat8604

This is cool and all but why are they 160 bucks😭

@edhornby4885

The best thing for the back of the reed is plain paper, rub gently in circles and the low abrasive level of the paper is perfect for a uniform flat surface. Always do this first because it's free and simple and fairly impossible to screw it up 😊

@briannovak-mcsweeney9109 2 года назад

Sorry about the technical screw up here.

I've been using a synthetic reed for the last two years bc I just thought it was better. There are advantages to synthetic reeds, but recently I went back to some old gear and really loved the sound I got with cane reeds, so suddenly this information is a lot more relevant to me

@willywenzl5509 4 года назад

I open the box, spread the reeds on the table and start to pray….:-)

@jazzman_10 4 года назад

The Reed geek is a great tool, but you can also get same results just by sanding the reed over a flat surface. I got myself some small grain sandpaper and a glass portrait to have a flat surface to sand on.

he has AMAZING tone. wow!

@joewalsh4191 4 года назад

I purchased a reed geek after seeing your session with their creator and it's a really good tool!

@kpoudavoff 4 года назад

Your videos are such a joy to watch. You’re the one of the most charismatic RU-vidrs I know .Thank you!

@do.it.better 4 года назад

This is just what we needed. Hoping that our son (sax player) will be able to use this to improve his reeds and save us money.

@petegalindez9961 4 года назад

I bought one a couple of years ago and use it a little...now I'll use it more since you've shown all the ways to use it!

@kent6548 2 года назад

Learnt so much from this video as a beginner sax player! Thank you so much Jay! Been loving your videos, they are helping tremendously!

@bobmarsh6378 4 года назад

I bought a reed geek after your earlier videos Jay, and wow, it does all you say it does. It also makes my reeds last much much longer. In fact I can't remember the last time I replaced one of my 4 rotating tenor reeds. Reed Geeks rule!!
