I get to demo two fantastic tenor saxes to see which one will replace my Cannonball Vintage Reborn tenor. Let's see how they play.

Both horns are fantastic. Bottom line, practice everyday and the rest will take care of itself. Everyone is looking for the "magic horn" to make them sound like a good player. Micheal Jordan was who he was no matter what shoes he wore. Practice like a savage and you will get the gig.

Nice to hear you playing those “trying new gear out” licks 👍🏽. Go pro perspective is quite helpful since we never truly “hear” our horns since we are behind the instrument 🎷

You are a Joy to watch and hear I really respect You take on Sax stuff 🤔😱😎

@jwd0808 2 years ago

Both horns sound great. In many ways it comes down to which feels the best. Realistically only musicians do side by side comparisons. They audience in general can't tell the difference - they'll love how you sound either way :)

You have super nice response control. I need to practice more.

Had a yamaha T62 since '97. Loved every moment with it

I just bought the Yamaha 62 silver alto last month and I am loving it.

@hotclubofthemountains3591 3 years ago

I like the darker sound of the Yanni. But, man...the Yamaha is nice. It is a bit brighter. I would decide on how it feels behind the wheel, driving those saxophone ferari's.

@egdavis0820 2 years ago

man , your getting fancy with the whole camera thing... LOL ... I am glad your doing well now.

That's why i record every gear i test. And post it to youtube. It sounds diferent when you listen, than when you play. and maybe helps someone in the process.

Rock over London, Rock on Chicago... Sirvalorsax - the best of the best. The Poirot lick is great.. just what the world needs to get a 'concert' sax tone into the mainstream. Let's make a hit song with dark sax..

That bronze horn is great sounding I wonder what bronze with silver plate would be like.

@rickstokes2239 3 years ago

Definitely the Yani. I’ve been playing the Alto AW020 bronze edition for the past year and very happy with it.

Man I just subbed just from the intro. SWEET!!!

@sampowellmusic 3 years ago

@OTBSR 3 years ago

Yes. I agree. The Yamaha sounds way better. I have the silver plated version of the 62

I play a Yamaha yts 62 purple logo and I love it I have a selmer 80 series ll. But the yts 62 is my go to horn when gigging. I have played the yts 875, the 82z but I like the yts 62 the best.
