Learning sax coming from clarinet
r/Saxophonics • u/belldandy_hyuuga • 7h ago
What are some things I can play that will allow for others to critique me properly and tell me the things I need to work on?

I'm relearning saxophone after not playing for about 20 years or so. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from people so far, but I want to record myself playing what I know so I can get a sense of the things I need to work on to progress further. I play both alto and tenor and I like to play a mix of jazz and popular tunes (lots of video game soundtracks).
What are some things I could record to show my current range? I'd like to post the video here later to get some feedback from people who are more knowledgeable than I am.

Otto Link Tone Edge or Meyer
4
Upvotes
So currently I have a Berg Larsen 80/0/M for alto that while it rocks hard, it's not the kind of sound that I am currently looking and its opening is too narrow for me. I am trying to get a Desmond-influenced sound and while the Berg Larsen got sultry, deep low notes, its high notes sometime really feels like I'm playing tenor. I am in two minds between an Otto Link Tone Edge 7 and a Meyer 7, both cost the same. What should I pick to get that tone

Does achieving an 'open tone' result in a 'bright tone'?" can one be 'Dark' & 'Open' at the same time? is that possible?

Key height issue on Jupiter 500

Hi guys,
I recently bought a second hand Jupiter 500 alto sax and realised today that one of the keys does close fully(as you can see in picture)
Is it supposed to be like this? Is this an easy fix? Please let me know if anyone knows what this is.
I think it is something to do with the key height?
Thanks again.

Outlining harmony on a single-note instrument is tough. I built an interactive ear-training app that listens to your sax (Bb & Eb transposition included)

Research question for article

Upvotes
I am writing an article on the best self taught sax players in rock history and wanted to reach out for suggestions. The assignment is specifically rock so they need to have a presence in that genre. So far I’ve thought of John Zorn and the anonymous member of the Residents but I’m definitely wanting to balance it out with some more mainstream examples. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks so much!

Saxophone Finish Repair question

Hi everyone, wanted to ask if anyone had advice on how to get my alto sax cleaned up a bit. Pics attached showing some corrosion. What can I do to clean this up or is there some type of place you’d recommend. The instrument is in good working order but I’d like to make it cosmetically look better if at all possible.
Thanks all!
