Another great video Alastair. Love your classical sound. I really enjoyed the Concept sound but they’re all great mouthpieces. God bless you. Bill. Uk 🎷🎷🎷

Vandoren also makes a TL5. I have both the TL4 and 5 but thought the 4 was a little too closed for tenor. I play a Vandoren AL3 on alto for reference, so the TL5 is a good choice if you switch back and forth between alto and tenor and want similar playing mouthpieces. I play a Hemke 2 1/2 on alto with the AL3 and Hemke 3 reeds on tenor with the TL5. LaVoz Mediums also work well for me alto with the AL3 and LaVoz med hard for tenor with the TL5. I like mouthpieces that aren't too open and easy to play, so these are good choices for classical players and hobbyists. Having a Reed Geek or a machine shop flycut bit if you're cheap like me with a reed trimmer helps save lots of $$$ with reeds too.

Why don't people like classical tenor? This is coming from a violinist/saxophone admirerer, so I'm a little out of the loop. In my experience, it seems like a lot of my jazz friends dislike the people who play classical sax as well as the rep. I say don't let that spoil the possibilities in that beautiful dark sound!

Not that much material written for, I suppose. It does sound delicious, though.

Excellent review. Thank you.

these tenor mpc really make a big difference in sound.. like.. when you compared the alto ones, those mpcs didn't produce nearly as much differences in sound as these.

@alastairpenman 2 года назад

Agreed! This will partly be due to the larger variation in tip opening of these mouthpieces. The Selmer S80 E is much more open than the Concept of the TL4 for example!

What solo are you playing? So pretty!

@mambojazz1 10 месяцев назад

Selmer Concept was beautiful with no air. But S80 did seem more flexible.

Hi Alastair, enjoyed the video, great sound! I have a query about pad noise, not yours but mine. For the past 10 years I have been trying to record my concerto but am bedevilled by pad noise in the faster passages! I have worked on technique and have had some success using Audacity to isolate and reduce it. Could I ask for any advice, and also which mic you are using?

@alastairpenman 2 года назад

Hi Roger, glad you enjoyed the video. The first thing to check is that your sax is well set up - have it checked over to make sure you haven't got a noisy mechanism (it's amazing what a spot of oil can do sometimes...!) Next up, check the distance of the microphone from the sax - this makes a big difference to the sound. The further away from the microphone the sax is, the less key noise you'll pick up. You will however pick up more of the room sound, which you may not want, so it's all about finding the right balance. At Dawkes there's an Aston microphone in the studio (I think it's an Origin, but it might be a Spirit). In my home studio I normally use an AKG C414XLS for saxophones. Both are large diaphragm condenser microphones, which is a good starting point for recording saxophone.

Is this good for jazz?

@dawkesmusic 11 месяцев назад

The short answer is...no, but maybe you knew that from the title of the video ;) You CAN play anything with any mouthpiece. But, are there better options for Jazz? Yes, hundreds of them.

Hey, Alastair! What u think about Vandoren T27 for classical? I have an A27 in my Alto and i am so satisfied

@alastairpenman 2 года назад

Hi Johnny, I haven't tried the Vandoren T27, but if the A27 works for you on alto then it would be well worth trying the tenor version as it will most likely have a very similar feel and response.
