We Went Into a Saxophone Warehouse and Found This... 

I started playing sax in 2019 in my middle school band because my teacher wanted me to play a wind instrument (I only played piano at the time). I instantly fell in love with playing saxophone and would practice for atleast 3 hours a day. Now as a freshman I made wind ensemble (our top band) on tenor sax, and made it into the top jazz group as 2nd tenor!

Jean Paul!!! I love his flute! did a review a while back! Gonna have to visit one day soon. Far drive from Montreal, but Im sure its worth it!

700$ for that tenor, my jaw dropped!!!!!

Honestly, I was gonna enter the contest, but I see so many hopeful others (not like I'd win anyways), but I just wanted to say I love your channel. As I'm sure you're gonna do, just keep being great. Wish you many more wonderful, awesome years of playing! I low-key wanna hear you play the Imperium alto saxophone. Be safe, and be blessed.

Also sweet piccolo lick at 8:00 for the picc lovers!

In 2000 I started playing piano cause my parents thought I'd be good at it :)

KEVINNNNN We miss you in Illinois!! So great to see great doublers making content out there. Crazy it all started for me in 2010 because I wanted to play the saxophone but my hands were too small so I played clarinet instead. Now that I’m old and grown I’m a satisfied Jean-Paul customer who loooves her TS-400, and loves the price too😁

2014 my first day of middle school I chose to do orchestra and by some stroke of destiny my schedule was switched by accident and I got put in band. I didn’t even know what a saxophone was but I remember the cartoon character pizza Steve(from uncle grandpa) playing a “saxophone” so when I was asked what instrument to play by my band director I chose saxophone….and I got rejected and he have me a clarinet. However that didn’t stop me I continued and eventually made the switch and it was the best decision of my life because here I am now 7 years later a senior in high school where my whole life revolves around my saxophone that has given me the chance to meet so many amazing people and experience so many fun experiences. I plan on entering a career where hopefully I will be able to play my saxophone for the rest of my life because it is my happiness.

in 2019, i picked up my first saxophone. it was a student alto, and i had previous experience with clarinet. it was around that time i stumbled across the mario kart lick and i’ve been an avid watcher ever since. i love your and jesses humor, and that episode on the jean paul made me want to get one myself. even if i don’t win, thanks for inspiring countless guys like me nathan. you really underestimate how much you change people’s lives.

This is my third year playing alto for middle school. At the beginning of the school year I was actually thinking about quitting band, but my band teacher invited me to try playing tenor sax for our jazz band, so I tried and loved it. I tried playing jazz pieces on alto and loved that too. The swing and smooth sound of jazz made me want to never put down my sax(s). I just recently started learning trumpet. I have grown a huge passion for playing sax.

I started playing the acoustic guitar in 2006 because my brother used to play, and I love listening to him, but the sax sound is for me the most emotional and magical sound I've ever heard. We live in Brazil where instruments like the sax are very expensive, and one of my dreams is to learn this beautiful instrument, I hope one day to have my sax and be able to make people feel like I feel when I listen to it.

I started in fifth grade on flute. Went to saxes for jazz in sixth grade. Always wanted to be a music teacher, and now I am! Thanks for the behind-the-scenes look at the warehouse!

I started playing piano in 2019 because I didn't know any other instruments at the time and I wanted to lean music. Now I play sax for my schools jazz band and know a little trumpet.

I started back in 2017 because I was joining middleschool band and sax was just the sickest instrument in my mind at the time. Because I stuck with it I've gotten deep into Jazz and Jazz fusion and I'm so grateful because of it.

Technically I have been playing piano since I was 7 years old, (I'm turning eighteen soon :) I began in 2014 playing clarinet in middle school band. I went that for two years and then doubled playing tenor sax in our jazz band. Once I got into high school I primarily played tenor sax. I had a really good sax teacher and band director, plus an amazing upperclassmen who I still look up to today. They've all inspired me soo much to just grind and get really good. Because of them I have been nominated for Colorado University Honor Band my sophomore year and junior year. As well as Colorado State University Honor Band my Sophomore year. In sophomore year I was playing on an beginner level Bundy, which I also marched on. I think in middle school, everyone does band because they kinda have to. But once I got into high school the main reason I started playing was to improve my sound, (stemming from that inspiration) and also the amazing community. Not only the marching band community but the teachers and even your channel have made my saxophone journey so enjoyable. I am so proud to be a saxophonist. I have always wanted have my own alto sax to expand my musical and instrumental ability. I first heard about this saxophone on better sax's channel, then I saw your video and I was like omg I have to get this. Thank you so much for making amazing content, and helping me procrastinate all my homework :) This is too long haha.

I started playing saxophone in 2017. Basically I'm drummer but after watching Sad Sax Guy on Cartoon Regular Show, I got a call. "This is my ninja way". Then, I look into the sky and I heard Careless Whisper sounds faint. Sorry about my english. I can't speak english well.

I started playing the alto saxophone in 1989 when the band director would wheel an assortment of instruments around to each class to recruit new children. After selecting the sax, the director told me I'd never make it blah blah blah...31 yrs still going. Thank you for your inspiration to all of us horn player's ...your content always rocks! King killed the arpeggiated altissimos like WHOA.. no remorse!!

I started drums in 2011 saxophone in 2021, guitar in 2018, and cello in 2021 and I started playing music to improve in skills and impress myself and others

Jean Paul's wood wind instruments are as great in sound as they are reasonable in price. I have been working with Jean Paul's tenor, alto and soprano 🎷 s which l have purchased six months ago. In the ✋s of Nathan and Kevin, JP soprano and tenor saxophones sound as pleasing as - or even better than - my Selmer Super Action Series saxophones. (smile) I admire Kevin's piccolo chops as well. Great encounter; wise sharing, fellows.

I started playing the alto saxophone in 2020. I got interested in playing when I saw your mario kart lick and ever since I've been invested in the sax. I don't currently own a saxophone at the moment cause it's been out of my budget for a while so I'm renting a saxophone from my high-school. I play the saxophone in my school orchestra and have really enjoyed playing for the past 2 years now.

i got my first sax in 2017 it was a second hand one that i got from my teacher. recently i have upgraded to a Yamaha YAS-62 and i keep on playing sax because it is a fun pass time and it is very enjoyable.

Easter egg: I started playing Saxophone in 2019, thought it was cool so I started. Never looked back! I’m not the best but I have a great time. I’ve played alto, tenor, and Bari, mostly Bari and tenor. I was a HS Freshman.

I’ve played sax since my eight grade year in 2019, instantly fell in love with its sound and knew that I was going to stick with this for the rest of my life. I made it into wind ensemble 9th grade after only about a year and a half of playing and then transitioned to bari sax. I then started soprano just a couple months ago and I’m trying to look for a better horn than my current YAS-26 alto or my janky school owned soprano lmao. I’ve been a fan for a long while and you’ve taught me so much to know about the saxophone.

Hi! I just wanted to say sorry for how long this is. I started playing trumpet when I was 10 in 2014. I started because my dad found a free old trumpet in a yard sale. I was self taught. After 5th grade I kind of got bored of it because I was better than everyone else and the stuff was too easy for me. When I got to middle school in 7th grade, I switched to alto for jazz band. When I started learning alto I got hooked I loved learning new things and I caught on quick. I started playing all the written and improvised solos even if I didn’t know anything about changes and chords yet I just went at it and the jazz band called me “the beast” (I am a really short Mexican girl so that was funny) When I got to high school I wanted to buy my own alto and my mom got me an $180 alto from Amazon(it’s silver and it’s a beast) for my birthday. Sophomore year I was already alto 1 in jazz 1 with that saxophone. This is why I’m entering the giveaway! Good luck to everyone! I was taught growing up that it’s not about the equipment, it’s about how you use it. Even if I don’t win I hope the winner has fun and If you read this, have a blessed day❤️

I’ve played the oboe for 3 years now (Since 2019) and am recently beginning to learn the Saxophone in hopes of making it into the jazz band at my high school. I began playing and quickly realized my love for music, especially jazz. I searched, but found that it was quite hard to reach into that world as simply an oboist. After watching your channel for many months now, I feel prepared to begin a great journey with the Saxophone. Right now I’ve just been borrowing my friend’s saxophone using my own beginner mouthpiece, ligature, and of course reeds.

I started to play piano in 2010 because my mom told me I have to choose which instrument to play. it was either that or violin 😅. Then, in 2017 I decided to pick up guitar after my grandpa died because he played it and I wanted to feel closer to him. it wasn't until freshman year that I played a wind instrument for band, I play clarinet (I wanted to play sax.) Then, 3 months ago, my band director put me on Bari for jazz band.

I’m 16, started music 6 years ago and I LOVE JAZZ i’m lead sax in my high school jazz band, and i also lead a small combo. i love being able to connect to other people through music and so i started playing because of that

When can we get a Desmond Video?! I started playing in 2016, when I bought a Yas-23. I instantly went on YT and found Kenny Garrett! The real Kenny G.

Well, I started as a percussionist since I was a kid (8 years old I think) and I loved it. I started with the snare. I played pretty much everything until HS that I joined pit, (I had a bells solo for marching band 😳) but now I’m learning how to play flute and wanna eventually learn how to play all of the woodwinds :)

I started on clarinet back in... 2016!?!? If I'm gonna be honest, I started band because I didn't want to be in P.E. and I picked clarinet because I wanted it to fit in my locker.

I started playing alto around 2018, as my mom wanted me to get into music. I wasn't fond of it at all for a very long time, until the pandemic hit. I had always known that jazz existed, but outside of the Christmas big band arrangements, I had never listened to jazz. During the height of the pandemic, I practiced for 4-5 hours a day every single weekday and often the same on weekends if I had the urge. Jazz has completely changed me, from the way I listen to music, the way I perceive art, and even how I think. It really helped me through everyone's current situaton and I hope to keep evolving with my horn and becoming the best p layer possible. Sorry for the rant, as always, love your content!

I started playing trombone in 2018 and now I play trombone for concert and marching but I now play alto sax for jazz band

I started playing alto late in 2016 and switched to Bari in 8th because my teacher puts the big kids on Bari. I always loved band but had a teacher that didn’t see anything in me, and despite not being supported I kept playing. Sophomore year I switched to tenor and fell even more in love and have been playing ever since, I will never give up anything I truly love because of someone discouraging me.

Hi my name is Nikko and I started playing when I what is around eight or nine years old (2011). I got into playing when my brother started middle school band and played the trumpet. He would take his trumpet home to practice but I bet I practiced and played on the trumpet more than he did (: then skip forward a few years and I started playing in middle school band and played the alto saxophone this is when I really started to fall in love with band and playing music in general. Halfway through my band career I switched from saxophone to the French horn which was a fun leap for me but I want to be able to play sax again.

I hope no matter how big Paul's company gets i hope they keep the cheap amazingly well made options for the students.

I started to play the drums in 2011 (hitting things is fun) and my brother began playing the sexophone in 2017 to join the school band!

I started playing alto in 2020 because I absolutely loved saxaphones and I got inspiration from this channel and I started playing tenor this year And I played a bit of clarinet in 2017

I started learning the saxophone in February of 2020. I originally started alto because my parents signed me up but now I have been playing for a while I and have gotten better I really like playing saxophone and picked up baritone in November of last year.

I started playing the sax back in 2015 ever since listening to some of the greatest jazz players with my dad I just got hooked up with the rich sound and feel in love with it. Ever since I been using the same alto hoping to upgrade but family been struggling with money so we had to keep my beginning model.

started playing sax in 2015, starting on tenor just because my dad had one lying around that he never used, and then i mainly used sax to play music that i liked, but now i’ve changed my main instrument to bassoon because that has an esier path for a career and i’ve been very successful with it, ranking second in my state for all state in 2020 before covid, but i still play sax for marching band and jazz. since i’ve been mainly playing lower instruments, i’ve been wanting to invest in an alto so i can get a more leading role in my music, but don’t really have the money for it.

I started playing the Trombone in 2016 in my 5th grade band. That year my school had like 20 something trombones so I joined band because my friends were in it. But over time, I realized how much I love music and sound itself. I started playing jazz last year, and ever since I’ve fallen in love with theory, improvisation, and listening to other dudes shred. Thanks for the opportunity you’ve given us all. I’ve been looking for a sax to learn, so I appreciate the opportunity. Love the channel, and keep up the great work man.

i started playing 2013/2016 ran over my mark 6 saxophonr and ut tge black head behind you and your brother

I actually started playing on a Jean Paul Clarinet about 5 years ago. I started after I heard Benny Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing." An old friend of mine (he was really like a grandpa I never had) was listening to him one day and I was hooked instantaneously. I decided to start playing and I have since then become first chair in the symphony band I play in. I love the instrument and I love music.

I started playing alto saxophone about 2 billion light years ago after the first water war. I placed my dry powdery lips on that prehistoric mouth piece and blew a fat one. Actually it was the fattest one. Of all time. Been eating bug meat and all that gray cotton candy you find in vacuums every day. My bones are brittle and I need help or whatever. I do spoken word for stray cats and cute dumpsters.

I started playing saxophone 5 years ago because my family is big into music and none of us had ever tried a brass or woodwind instrument before. ( it also looks really cool )

A few years ago, as my son was getting into 6th grade beginners band, he wanted to play the alto saxophone. I did allot of research that kept leading to Jean Paul and their AS-400 student alto saxophone. I decided to buy it. My son played it through the 6th and 7th grade and he loved it. This year, he was told to upgrade to a professional saxophone. I thought of Jean Paul first so I decided to buy the new AS-860 10th Anniversary edition. He says it's much better with smoother, quicker responsiveness, nicer tone quality and he says it just feels better in his hands. He said he'll be more then happy with this saxophone for years to come. This is a great, very beautiful instrument and sounds so amazing. Oh yea, and they have a professional sax technician check and set up every single sax they send out and email your technicians sound check of your instrument. Great customer service as well. Thank you Jean Paul! Very satisfied with this purchase.

I started playing the saxophone in the second semester of my sixth grade year, 2016-2017 school year, because the saxophone was always an instrument that has spoken to me as a beautiful instrument with such a unique and melodic voice and it's been my getaway ever since. I've loved every second playing the saxophone and thanks to the enjoyment and experiences I've been given from you and other saxophonists alike, I have become the state-renowned saxophonists that I am thanks to you guys! Fast forward to now, unfortunately, my alto isn't so well and it doesn't even play anymore so I'm borrowing somebody else's until I can get one of my own, but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon. Even if All-State and All-State Jazz auditions are but two weeks away, this horn would be a miracle to win and I would absolutely love to be the winner if I am! Thank you for all you do and keep releasing amazing, and more importantly entertaining videos!

Something a little like logantheworst happened to me I started off playing oboe then I switched to tenor sax then bari sax then eventually alto I play to Yamaha saxes (tenor and bari) and I play a selmer aristocrat as600 and now I play on 2 jazz bands and I got nominated to play at the Holland center good job logan

I started playing clarinet in 6th grade in 2019 and instantly fell in love with music. I felt like music allowed me to truly express myself and show who I really am, and in late 2020, I started playing bass clarinet along with soprano clarinet. I love its beautiful sound and the way it feels when I play. Bass clarinet inspired me to push further with learning more instruments, and I even got second place in all-region a few weeks ago, placing me into wind ensemble. But me wanting to play saxophone really started this year when I started getting into making my own music and starting to love jazz. I joined my middle school jazz band and have had so much fun with it. I never thought I would be a musician when I was younger, but getting into music has made me such a happier person, and I want to pursue in my music career further by learning to play more instruments, and saxophone is at the very top of the list.

It was last month where I picked up my first instrument in my life which is a alto sax. It was a student alto sax and I have no experience at all dealing with music. So for now I’m still learning a little by little how to blow the sax and what the finger placement and stuff. Due to I have no experience on music at all , it a bit of struggle for me to learn but I enjoy the process. Sax is my favourite instrument and I wanted to have it for a quite sometime and last month I have the opportunity to have one. I enjoy having a sax for this one month, hope I will enjoy having sax for my whole life and it will be my patience and hobby to play sax.

In the sixth grade, I had originally joined choir. To be honest, it was cool until I saw all of my closest friends having fun in band. I then decided to join band in the second semester of that year and became hooked with the saxophone. My parents and band directors were patient with me catching up to everybody else in the band. A few years later, I made the TMEA 6A All-State band my sophomore year. I continued to make the All-State band my junior and senior year. I am now a freshman in college as a pre-med student. My passion for playing saxophone has not gone anywhere and I can't wait to keep playing more saxophone.

i started playing sax the second semester of my 6th grade year. I originally wanted to go with clarinet but something abt the sax spoke to me. I’m now a junior in highschool and last year my alto was stolen straight out of our bandhall and then i missed the texas all state band by one chair because my low b flat didn’t speak💀. I later found out it’s bc i’m playing a basically scrap metal right now so a new alto would definitely benefit me.

i’ve been playing sax for about 6 years but we had to sell my sax because i needed money for uni lol so i’m currently saving up for a new sax right now !! my goal is probably to have a greater understanding of jazz as i love it so so much

I really really want to have saxophone, it’s my only help cause I’m planning to learn and to joined school band for my school scholarship to help my parents lessen their stress, I’m a clarinet player but my clarinet is damage because of time it was a year since they bought me clarinet slade brand a local brand i care for it but theirs too much air leak.. I’m your number one fan here in the Philippines

You should do a review of the venova by yamaha. It is like a sax but … different. If you agree, like this comment

you're giving away your first ever saxophone that you've owned? madlad

I have been playing my trumpet for about 1 year I’m only in middle school I would love to play a saxophone I love the sound of the trumpet and the saxophone thanks 🙏

I started playing alto in 2019 in band and for a hobby and I’m currently using a school sax so I really need one

If the other guy at 1:44 playing congas was jammin for 5 hours too... man u gotta give him some credit as well.

I started playing this year. I am renting one and I started because of wanting no to play certain songs. I choose the saxophone because I thought it was the coolest instrument.

I started playing saxophone in the fall of 2014, which was my first year of middle school. I wanted to be involved in extra curricular activities. I wasn't that good at sports and I loved music, so I decided to be in band. I played the saxophone through out middle school and high school. This is my first year in college and I decided to major in business and not music. I haven't played in a few months and I've been looking for an opportunity to play again. Thanks for doing this giveaway and I would mean the world to me if I won this giveaway!

What is the cheapest alto sax that I can buy that isn’t really bad? I wanna get into playing alto sax, but I don’t wanna spend a lot on it.

im getting a new saxophone (alto) but i dont know a good one thats atleast between 300-500

2017. I grew up around a musical family so I had the sound of music from a very young age. I started playing Alto Saxophone in 7th grade for a year until I wanted to play Bari in 8th grade. In my 8th-9th grade summer I didn't have a way to play baritone sax so my grandma bought me an Antigua Vosi 2150 Alto. Im now a senior in high school and plan to play till I die.

It all started in 2016 when I went to go choose what instrument I was going to play for band in 6th grade - high school. I then played the alto saxophone at the instrument fitting, and I fell in love with it; therefore, I chose to play alto sax. My dad was happy with my decision because he played alto in high school as well. Once we got home from the event, he pulled out his old, dusty, Yamaha alto sax that he had bought by himself when he was younger. I still use that old, beautiful instrument today for marching, concert, plus solo & ensemble bands!

I started playing saxophone in 5th grade now I’m a sophomore in high school. The saxophone imo is the best instrument you could possibly play. I have always loved the saxophone and everyday I practice for more than 2 hours. I’m improved so much that I’m now playing 1st alto in my jazz band and I have 2 solos in the jazz band concert!

I started to play trumpet around 2018 with my uncle because I was going into high school and my middle school did not have a band class, and I wanted to marching band. About a month in to practicing, I realized that braces and a small mouth piece go together like cold butter and un-toasted bread. I switched to the trombone and have since then stuck with trombone occasionally switching to other low-brass instruments. I have recently made the discovery that alto-sax sheet music and bass clef sheet music are basically the same, you just have to squint your eyes a little, and so I am now attempting to start a new chapter in music by switching to the saxophone family.

My 8th grade year of middle school, i had already been playing clarinet for 2 years and got the opportunity to join jazz band, under the condition i started playing tenor sax, so in 2018 i started playing tenor and it has really just evolved into my passion for music, my main horn is now bari but i’m also playing soprano, alto, tenor, clarinet, and learning bassoon soon

Theaster egg is inside the blue jug behind your brother at the end of the video

I started playing alto saxophone in 2017, but around half-way through the year, I had to quit (I took lessons for it while in school). I quit because I got my tumor removed off of my knee which I had for about 6 years. When I came back from the surgery to class about a week later, I felt very overwhelmed. It seemed as if my class learned an extreme amount, and I didn't feel like I could do it anymore. Ever since then, I've regretted that decision. I now play piano and have been for about 2 months, but I love the sound of a saxophone. I ask my parents if I can get one, and they say no- because I play piano & quit saxophone those man years ago. To me, this saxophone would truly make me very happy. I love music, and having this instrument again will bring me back to those days, when I was young and felt like I could do anything. Just seeing this opportunity to win it made me feel happy. Continue to do what you do, your content is awesome. Overall, I really hope I win the horn, but if I don't, then awesome job to whoever gets it!

I started playing alto saxophone this year in marching band. I always knew I needed to learn how to play the sax as I was a oboe and never picked up the sax. The first day I played the sax something magical happened and I fell for the sax. Although I was not great at the instrument I learned the basics into the 4th week. As we moved through the season I learned more that the songs but also other etudes and was getting better than the other saxophonist that have been playing for 3 years. It took multiple hour’s and perseverance but soon my hart was with the sax now and hope to bring it to the next level as the practicing continues.

I love how every comment is whole paragraph long

I started playing bass in 2017 because a friend of mine played it and I was tired of playing the Viola. 3 years later I switched from the upright bass to the bass guitar and have been loving it ever since. I've been planning on getting a saxaphone for a while now because I love the sound and learning a reed instrument would expand my musical knowledge and skills.

Started playing clarinet in 1969, loved the sound of the Benny Goodman lick Mr Hibbard the visiting music teacher played for us. Continued playing woodwinds through high school and college, jazz band, and pit orchestras, but put them away after I had kids. You are inspiring me to get out my old horns again and my chops in shape. Thanks so much!

I am just starting out on my sax journey. David Bowie is my inspiration. I love your videos. Your humour and enthusiasm is fantastic.

I started playing Alto Sax in 2014 for high school jazz band, thinking I could play the Clarinet but my band director never chose songs that had Clarinet parts. So quickly having to learn how to play Jazz and on a completely new instrument, I taught myself all the fundamentals within a few months. Fast forward 7 years later, I'm now a professional musician playing for weddings, bars, and I'm part of a pop rock band! Btw shoutout to you Saxologic, really love your content! I've been planning to buy this EXACT saxophone so I got really excited when I found out you were giving this away, good luck everyone in the giveaway!

Bro is saxologic a robot? Loom at his finger 0:54

Hi! I started playing violin in 2007 because I wanted to be in my elementary school’s orchestra. The year after I began playing sax because what I really wanted was to be in band, but my school didn’t let 3rd graders be in band. Loved it ever since, and now I am a current 1st year master’s student in saxophone performance! The rest is history, as they say 😅 happy thanksgiving my dude! ❤️🦃

I began my musical journey on the saxophone at the age of 11 in 1968 (Yep! I'm old!), after having spent a couple of years playing the violin in elementary school. My grandfather and my granduncles were all professional musicians who worked with several of the orchestras in the "big band era" and I chose the saxophone as my instrument of choice, primarily as a result of the incredible influence that my grandpa had on me and out of the love and respect that I had for him. My father was (and still is) a collector of great music. I grew up listening to Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, Donald Byrd, Cannonball Adderley, Maynard Ferguson, and so many more jazz greats. As a teen fresh out of high school, I was invited to share the stage with the late greats Clark Terry and Frank Rossolino. I began college with the intent to be a music instructor.... That ended once I began student teaching as an understudy to my former band director and I realized that I didn't have the temperament required to deal with disruptive teenage students, so I began focusing more on performance. I've been blessed with more opportunity than I rightfully deserve, but the experiences that music has presented me with over the years have enriched my life to a degree that I cannot convey through words. I found this video purely by accident, today.... but, man, what a blessing watching it has been! I absolutely LOVE hearing young talent such as that displayed by the young musicians in this video. They have both clearly done their woodshedding and devoted the time necessary to develop their chops. Bravo, bravo, bravo! Best points to take from this video? (1) There are incredible instruments out there which are fully capable of allowing a talented musician to showcase his or her talents without putting your parents into great debt! Over the years, I've owned MK VI's which played wonderfully and I've played others which were outright "dogs"! Old horns wear out over time and, in many cases, there are not always adequate parts available to replace them with. NEVER purchase an older horn without playing personally and having your trusted sax tech inspect the instrument before committing to the sale! NOT ALL SELMERS, YAMAHAS, KEILWERTHS, are worth the thousands of dollars people are asking for them. (2) While there are a lot of instruments being imported from China, Taiwan, and South Korea, some of these instruments play quite well, despite their low price tags. That fact is clearly proven in this video! A musical who sounds great on a Selmer MK VI will likely sound just a great on any well regulated sax he picks up, given the same mouthpiece/reed combination. While there are many great videos comparing instruments available on the web, this is one of the first I've watched which feature young players proving this fact. I'm grateful to have found this page. I've subscribed and I'm looking forward to more great videos from you in the future. Keep on keeping on, little brother. You have a great future lying in wait. God Bless and best wishes. Oh! WHY do I play, now? I play for Jesus!

Im in 9th grade, so this is my fourth year of playing clarinet. I started playing my instrument in 6th grade and I became pretty solid at the clarinet. For some reason, I always thought the clarinet was the easiest instrument to play out of all the instruments that were provided in my school and to this day, I still think that. As I keep playing my clarinet, I'm starting to feel a little bored and tired from playing an instrument that's easy and less complex than other instruments. I've been thinking about switching instruments and sections in my band class. I've been talking to a couple of people in different sections and the saxophone section in my class has caught my attention. I've now become good friends with them and their starting to convince me to join their section. I'm leaning towards switching to alto sax but my school has ran out of saxophones to play and my parents can't afford an expensive or at least a mediocre one. I hope i can win this giveaway to join the sax section, learn a new instrument, and have provide a challenge for myself.

I got my 1st Soprano Saxophone 2018 which is a Jean Paul. $800 Still rocking it.🎵 Looks like my $2500 P. mauriat Tenor Saxophone.

I started playing piano in 2015 and started playing alto in 5th grade(2018) I'm still playing now in 8th grade and I love playing music. This is my third year in Jazz and I was 1st chair in symphonic but recently switched to bari. (I still have my alto) I love playing music but its all bc my mom encouraged and inspired me to.

Yo these are crazy affordable horns. I haven't tried playing sax since I borrowed my friend's for a few weeks in highschool (I was able to kind of play Careless Whisper in that time). What I really wanted to learn at the time tho was bari after hearing Ronnie Cuber on that recording of Mingus' Moanin. I first picked up trumpet in the elementary band program like ~2003. I thought it was cool when the highschool band would do their show and tell every year for the elementary school kids and the trumpet player would do the Final Fantasy victory fanfare. Also I didn't want to play clarinet like my older siblings and thought 3 buttons would be easy lol.

I started playing alto sax back in 2014 when I was in 5th grade, and I decided initially on playing the saxophone because I thought it was cool and it would catch the girls' attention ;), but soon i learned that it was something that had become a part of my life and i fell deeply in love with the sax. Now i've been playing the sax up through 12th grade, and I still love it the same as when i picked it up those 7 years ago.

I started playing the saxophone in 2015 in elementary school. My dad played the saxophone and I thought it was cool, so that’s the instrument I picked. I switched to tenor sax in middle school when I joined jazz band. I listened to Coleman Hawkins and Lester young and just fell in love with the tenor.

I started playing the Bari Sax in 2018 because of a legendary man named Ronnie Cuber who in my opinion played one of the greatest solos of all time on a song called Moanin'. since then, I've been in love with jazz and now im at the Eastman School of Music for my undergrad. also, I've always wanted an alto for traveling and stuff and I could really benefit from this.

I started clarinet when I was 12 years old in 2013. The reason I started was initially because I just thought it would be fun to be in band and my dad happened to play clarinet in high school so I had a free instrument. I switched to tenor sax in 2015 so that I could join the jazz band and I absolutely fell in love. Somehow I knew that that's exactly what I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing. I work daily practicing to one day make music to break barriers and brings people together. That is my dream. Also you and your brother are hilarious

I started playing when I was 4, that's 32 years ago if my maths add up... I lost interest until I was about 10 years old, I was put in a Music Class in middle school. The first 2 weeks we sang, I hated it. Then we went from singing to orchestral string instruments. Hated it. Then, to Wind Instruments. I picked up the Clarinet and immediately fell in love. I've been playing the Clarinet for 26 years now. Along the way I mastered (somewhat mastered) the Saxophone, Bass (Electric & Upright), and Guitar. After meeting the clarinet, I picked up the piano again.

Started in 2018 (6th grade). Went to our local music store, the owner said " If you pick guitar we can work on some vocals". At that moment I knew that I was going to play Alto Saxophone. Now, in 9th Grade, started a youtube channel hoping to become like you some day :D

Started in 4th grade (2004) and I strarted playing saxophone because I said the wrong word. I wanted to play the XYLOPHONE but I didn't know what it was called and I said saxophone and my dad bought me a sax and dropped me off at lessons.... I didn't tell them until later in high school lol (don't put me in the drawing, I already have nice saxes, just a funny story)

I started playing saxophone in 2014 my 6th grade year. I knew I had wanted to play saxophone since I was in elementary because I would go to my brothers band concerts and would be so excited to watch the saxophonist. I am now a 2nd year music education major and I can’t believe I get to do this the rest of my life.

I’ve play Bassoon since 2018 I started to play Tenor Saxophone this year 2021 for marching band. I’m a high school freshman who plays bassoon as my primary but in the band program at our school it’s mandatory to march and to be freaking honest it is the best thing ever. I’ve always wanted to play saxophone and didn’t get to as my family didn’t want to pay for instrument so I’ve used a school owned horn forever even my Tenor is school owned. I love marching and playing Saxophone so much I’ve been thinking of switching to it as my primary.

Started playing the sax in 1982, started playing because I liked the look of the sax, I was intrigued.

I started playing sax in 2016 in one of my primary school’s concert bands because I was inspired by one of my long time friends that I still play with often today. Despite not oringinally being too enthusiastic about playing, I always make time to practice every day as a way to relax since playing instruments really has become my passion. I’m now in both the top concert band and jazz band of the school and play double bass in the top strings band too!

Hi! I started 11 months ago from today, as I received a keyboard for my birthday. I've been loving every single moment of playing it, started with ambient tunes and now I'm trying to learn jazzy or blues licks and how to keep up with them. I haven't played in front of an audience and am self taught!! Thank you for reading!! ❤️

I started playing trombone in 2014 in 5th grade. I stuck with it through middle school and high school. Now I'm in my senior year and I started playing in the jazz band, it's really fun! A couple years ago my grandpa picked up an old trumpet for me and I have been slowly learning it. Last christmas, I got a piano and have been learning it. Now I want to learn saxophone, but haven't been able to find any inexpensive ones, even on ebay. I guess they keep their value. Maybe you can help me out.

1996, I started playing guitar because I saw Jamie Aditya played very cool riffs in MTV Indonesia 😅

In middle school 2015-2016 was when i first picked up a saxophone. I started playing because of my older cousin who I thought was really cool at the time. I just wanted to be like him and shred on the saxophone. I can say I've fulfilled that dream :)

I started playing the saxophone in 2018 as a 7th grader. I started playing the instrument because it was in a case under the stairs where it hadn’t been played in 15 years. It was old and beat up but I kept playing the saxophone because I love its sound quality and its ability to mimic almost every instrument and still be just as easily be identifiable as a saxophone sound!
