@jin1252 4 года назад
An explanation no one asked for: At 11:00, the reason why it the octave key allows the pitch to go up by one octave is that the tube goes from a close end_open end tube, to become an open end_open end tube. In particle superposition, this changes the first harmonic (fundamental) of the open end to twice the frequency of the first harmonic of the close end tube. This helps the user play an octave above with the same airstream which they otherwise have to increase the velocity of air or change the oscillation of reed to achieve the next harmonic.
@organist1982
@organist1982 8 месяцев назад
But each note ideally requires its own octave vent hole, each ideally located roughly halfway up the tube from its respective tonehole. This is why it doesn't generally work to have just one vent hole and why larger woodwinds need a minimum of two, as even having two or three octave vent holes is still a big compromise, since each of the octave vent holes has to therefore act as a midway antinode for multiple notes.

I've been playing saxophone for about 25 years and I can confirm that it is one of the easier instruments to learn. Once you know the fingerings for the notes and learn how to form a correct embouchure, then you're on your way. But it does take a while to strengthen your mouth muscles to form a good embouchure(sorta like how ya gotta develop calluses to get going on guitar.) The "Better Sax" channel on RU-vid has lots of good beginner tutorials.
@bloodgain

@@theafr0842 Can (half-)confirm this. I've been playing clarinet for 14 year before adding the sax to my collection and I definitly didn't have any problems getting a sound out of it but it takes some time to get used to it. But the fingerings surely are a loooot easier and comparable to the upper fingerings of the clarinet.

Of course, pianos can play harmony without needing a second person, so who’s really winning here? :p

I'm a firm believer of "no such thing as a worse instrument," since every instrument has its place and countless ways to articulate it if you're patient enough to find it! oh and, while I'm a guitar player, I think I could piss a lot of people off by saying bass guitar is actually the best instrument because it can do everything a guitar can do BUT it's usable in every single musical situation ;) but again! no such thing as a "better than" instrument! :)

The saxophone originally was an orchestral instrument but it became popular in military marching bands! And of course it became an early jazz instrument following clarinet in Dixieland Jazz. After the Paris conservatory the saxophone was used in so many ways Adolf Sax would never have imagined! We know it today as a Jazz instrument but it was designed to be used in orchestras with French and Russian composers like Ravel and Stravinsky using it for their compositions! It fits beautifully in an orchestra and also in a blues band!! There are transcriptions from cello and violin from Bach that sound great on saxophone!! What an amazing instrument!!

Yeah, I like how at 11:30 we get the real explanation of the "octave" key. Saxes and clarinets have these keys to help facilitate the 2nd harmonic. Flutes don't and brass instruments don't. Saxes and clarinets don't really need them as you can play the overtone series without them as David demonstrated. The freak of the wind family is really the clarinet as most other woodwinds blow thru the overtown series in order, but the clarinet is shaped in a way to produce a more or less square wave. If you studied the physics of it, square waves skip the odd harmonics. So you have the fundamental, skip the octave and go to the octave+ a 5th. skip the next octave and go to the octave + octave + a 3rd. Etc. So it's not just a button that magically gets you an octave. All wind players need to learn control of the overtone series. Sax and clarinet players have a hole that acts like a vent, not another note. Flutists have key combinations that act like a similar vent to help get higher notes. Double reeds have their things too. Brass players just blow thru the overtone series, but actually rarely play the fundamental tone, just the first over tone and up.

Rob learning this instrument shows the importance of music theory. It lets you focus on physically playing the instrument instead of what your playing.
@the_original_Bilb_Ono
@the_original_Bilb_Ono 4 года назад
Yeah, I tell every beginner to not focus too much on covering songs and learn theory like your life depended on it. It will take awhile but once you learn a certain amount of theory it will start to become second nature and like language you can quickly "talk" without hesitation.
@MKDumas1981
@MKDumas1981 4 года назад
Theory is how I taught myself to play guitar. E A D G B e, each fret is a half-step up, and, GO! As a result, I play chords "incorrectly". 🤣
@Souchirouu
@Souchirouu 4 года назад
That said, theory is important but it shouldn't stand in the way of the interest and passion of a player. Theory is more important in some instruments than others and definitely helpful when you intent to play multiple instruments. But if all you want to do is play guitar, bass or drums.. the basics are fine.
@TheLifeOfTexan
@TheLifeOfTexan 4 года назад
@@MKDumas1981 learn the basic chord shapes and you can use that theory to make chords on any root note. Diads and power chords are really simple and you can throw notes (like a 7th or 9th) on top of them to be more expressive. I learned guitar the same way, applying music theory to hobble together chords and whatnot, then I went back and learned proper guitar technique (still working on that lol.) I feel like the confidence in knowing what you're playing and how it works goes a long way in letting you express yourself with the guitar as your voice.

4:09 "We don't think of someone as the inventor of the flute." I almost feel bad posting this because its pretty pedantic, but here we go. While the flute family is ancient, the standard modern flute that you see around today (with the keys, and the rods connecting them) was invented by one dude. His name was Theobald Boehm. And it wasn't like he just revised what was already there, his flute was hugely innovative, and made incredible improvements over existing instruments.
