Jim could play a kitchen funnel and it would still have the sweet sound of molasses. Remarkable what a sound he can get out of a plastic horn. Mad respect. Nice. He never disappoints.

@zacharymckinnon6832 4 года назад

I think it’s be great for small rooms and events where a cool saxophone would be bonus points lol

@DynamixWarePro 4 года назад

I personally feel it doesn't have the depth, projection and ring of a brass saxophone but it isn't bad at all.

@ddlcfan8947 4 года назад

Dave's Nature Productions yeah i agree. Its super bland and has no personality.

@Davmm96 4 года назад

@@ddlcfan8947 Still, its one plastic sax vs the numerous brass saxophones that our kind sir Jim could choose amongst. And it's a kinda good one to begin with. As an engineering student, i feel it has way more to do with the design rather than the material, we are not talking about a violin here where the wood choice changes affect how the acoustic speaker that is a bowed instrument vibrates. I think we have a good example with Ricardo Simian's 3d printed cornettos (zink, cornet à bouquin) which are basically renaissance trumpets but with recorder-like fingerings. Their design is very simple thus making a wooden and a plastic instrument almost Indistinguishable in a blind test (ref: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YOtbLrjK7Cs.html). I await more variants of the plastic tenor sax as this could be a real good investments for the casual, beach-going amateur saxophonist that I am. In a nutshell, I find the plastic vs brass debate in the wind world to be the equivalent to the "tone woods" debates for electric guitars. Utter non-sense.

Wait you can wash it? Does it not have pads?

@tonescape1 2 года назад

The pads are a kind of plastic too.

@Who_the_f_is_Jo 7 месяцев назад

So it would be safe to play the plastic one outside in the rain other than the typical brass one?

@kylemay6654 4 года назад

I've been following the Vibrato Sax for years, and I really like this comparison. The plastic one was more "muted", and "warmer" compared to the brass. To be fair, the brass was still very warm sounding, but also had a brightness to it.

@LowReedExpert1 4 года назад

I'm still waiting for Vibrato to change the game and corner the market by releasing the plastic bass sax A cheaper, lighter bass would probably beat out even the Sakkusu

@perboysen 4 года назад

I have a Vibrato, as the one Jim plays on this video, and the two things I appreciate are the comfy weight and its "personality". My main tenor is a silver-plated Conn 10M from 1936. I would not buy a Vibrato as my first instrument but it definitely has its place when it comes to studio recording. A muted trumpet sound has its own values compared to a plain open trumpet sound and the Vibrato is the perfect "muted tenor sax" sound on my recording palette :-)

@kevinAuguillard 2 года назад

That plastic one sounds very warm and smooth. WOW! I'm surprised I prefer the plastic sax over the brass one.

@uchideshi2070 4 года назад

Thanks for the demo! It sounded surprisingly good!

@abdulhakeemnaallah1779 4 года назад

The difference is like heaven and earth

@craigiefconcert6493 4 года назад

It sounded good until I heard the brass saxophone at the end and then listened back. It sounds thin and quiet.

@timcason3479 4 года назад

Brass maybe a little louder and maybe more conducive for a large group or room/stadium (maybe) but I prefer the sound of the first one (plastic one). Warmer and richer. If I was recording in a studio I would choose the first in a heart beat.

@SamChaneyProductions Год назад

The polycarbonate horn sounded like if you had a low-pass filter and just barely turned down the cutoff

@bambino100011 4 года назад

The brass has more depth to its sound then the plastic. There is a night and day difference. I think perhaps maybe the plastic horn is great for a beginning at a young age especially if dings and dents are more prone with young players.

@LowReedExpert1 4 года назад

Also, how does one go about repairs on these horns? They arent really cheap enough to replace and forget like the pbone and ptrumpets

@kevinnguyen4123 4 года назад

i personally feel like it lacks the depth of a brass instrument but its certainly not bad :) I imagine this being great for especially children who want to start playing saxophone!

@ragewave23 4 года назад

wow, there's such a huge difference. the plastic horn lacks the depth of the sax so much... though i have noticed so only after the comparison to the brass horn. nice video!

@aboveaveragebayleaf9216 2 года назад

One thing I'd be curious about is a comparison to a similarly priced brass tenor. One that might be more susceptible to dents, dings, pads going bad, or needing adjustments. My understanding is the pads on these are self leveling, and are easy to replace. Not to mention silicon will hold up for a while.

@tidianecuenin5645 3 года назад

The sound of polycarbonate is more focused and dark. It gives the kind of sound that can only be reached with hard reeds (thinking to the 5 that Parker does). The same for alto sax. I prefer that sound, good for studio. And pros can give the best of every kind of instruments ;-)

@jackwilloughby239 9 месяцев назад

Considering the price I don't know. To me it's all about the mouthpiece and the reed. I was able to pick up a Mark 7 in remarkable shape for $700 in a Pawn Shop in Napa Valley. They also had a beautiful silver Alto that I should have bought for $400. For the Tenor I bought a signature John Coltrane Mouthpiece, gold plated, for about $200 and I used a Synthetic reed, because the sound was close enough and I wouldn't always have to buy a box of reeds for one or two good ones. I grew to love that reed. Had to leave the horn with a friend when the economy collapsed back in 2008. Everything is so pricey these days, I'd probably spend money on the mouthpiece and settle for a Horn that's mechanically sound and playable.

@pimeye 4 года назад

Were you comparing it to an Eastman? If so, any chance of comparing it to a similarly priced brass sax and also compare the weight?

Polycarbonate - I wouldn't call that plastic - is incredibly strong. On a daily basis, I have used bottles of polycarbonate for two decades now and once tried to hammer one into pieces. I did not succeed at that.

@LinneRinne 4 года назад

Brass it's just better, opens more sound posibilities and options, you can feel the personality of who's playing coming through on the brass, plastic sounds like it makes sound way too bland.

Would it be a good idea to second on the vibrato tenor? Like have a brass alto and a plastic tenor? Is it worth the price difference.?

not worth it IMO, except for maybe the novelty of it. you can get much nicer used saxes in the same price range. e.g. a YTS-23.

@FallingDrop234 10 месяцев назад

It might just be the fact Jim is great, but the plastic sax sounds better to me!

@terrycornelius4 Год назад

I thought I should put my thoughts down on this matter, specifically for people who think the polycarbonate sax is "bland" and has "no personality" and thus sounds "bad". That is such a misguided way of thinking. The polycarbonate sax should be thought of like the different shades of a certain color. From what I can tell, the poly sax sounds more soft and muted, whereas the traditional brass sax has more projection and is noticably more brighter. That doesn't mean the poly sax sounds "bad", it just means the poly sax can be used for different purposes. Some songs may require a softer sax tone, which is what the poly sax does best.

@tpark89 4 года назад

@okkietrooy7941 4 года назад

The plastic sax was OK. If you didn't also hear the sound of a brass sax, the sound would be fine. To me it seems a good student sax especially for children. But if I listen to the brass sax then the sound cannot compare. The sound of the brass sax is richer. I expect that the sound is also more versatile. more personal.

@lionelgan7134 4 года назад

A creative invention. Looks good. But not first option of my purchase. Brass sax passes the test of time while this plastic invention yet to prove its durability.

@Craig2760 4 года назад

Just because something can be made of plastic does not mean is should be made.

@geoffreycox8687 4 года назад

An unfair comparison. Comparing it to a student sax might be better. It wasn't terrible, but it's not a real brass sax and it's certainly not a top pro model.
