This is a fun cartoon about a gigantic Saxophone. Big Saxophones are in vogue right now. They really only have one use, though. Recording videos of the owner playing low notes and posting them on YouTube.

I’ve been watching this saxomophone on the Ebay, particularly curious about the mouthpiece.

Does anyone recognize the make/model from the shape?

I've used EZO to protect my lower lip and now it's out of business, does anyone have something that works?

A bit about me...

I'm 24 and from the UK and I make music for fun. I also study engineering and play videogames and own a discord community for some gamers.

I've been making music for about 9 years now and mostly sold them online for extra money.

I want to swap out the saxophone I have for a better one.

Your task would be to provide a .wav file or multiple of saxophone / trumpet sounds very similar in melody to what I had going on.

I'm interested in doing royalties so 18% of the song earnings go to you. I plan to distribute the song with distrokid.

My discord is Masol1102

Hello, so I'm a massive fan of Alabaster DePlume's music (https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nmma-ai9vXHuArkQflSRpnfgwbKblhfVo&si=mCRmNDFhjFzU7sZH) and his stuff is the reason I picked up the sax in the first place. I know his style is really unique and inimitable but I do want to eventually play music that's at least inspired by him.

I know he mostly plays the tenor sax but I could only get my hands on a secondhand alto for now. I'm a complete beginner when it comes to music and am learning the basics of music theory now. Everything is self taught.

I hope to eventually work up to getting a tenor sax for myself. In the meantime, I'm all ears for any advice you all might have for me. What should I be practicing, looking into, doing for now?

I also have some questions about saxophone parts.

- what kind of reeds should I be using if I want my music to sound as much like his as possible? currently I have a vandoren strength 3 reed, and an ammoon strength 1 1/2 reed. the ammoon is easier to play with for now since I'm a beginner and probably don't have the muscles built up for a particularly strong embouchure yet, but I imagine I might want to get thicker reeds eventually?

- should I be looking too much into the kind of mouthpiece / ligature I have, if case I need to replace them eventually?

- what should I (eventually) be looking out for in a tenor saxophone, if my aim is for my music to sound similar to his?

I'm well aware that what I should be focusing on right now is drilling the basics--which I am!
I'm just all ears for whatever advice anyone has to give me.

Thanks a lot!

Hi, recently I’ve been online looking for saxophones to buy, what brands should I totally avoid? And what hidden gems are there? I’m a student saxophonist but would like to start playing intermediate/professional saxophones, currently I only have 500 bucks, but I’m trying to save up money (any money making tips would also be nice), what reed, mouthpiece, and saxophone brands should I look for?

Hey sax people! Sorry if this isn't allowed in this subreddit, but I've been on the hunt for sax players and figured this might be a good place to ask. I'm running a consortium for a new alto saxophone solo composition (with piano) and I'm still searching for people who might be interested in joining. If you want to commission new music and help expand the repertoire, I hope you'll check it out! This piece will be fully programmatic and pretty challenging; probably suitable for anyone studying at a university level and above. The buy in is very affordable to hopefully include as many players as possible.

Here's the link with all the information about the consortium: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfFZlPjdGDbw4SkmOum1SkYJu-718aqPyi_KH4PuptJBrYC1Q/viewform

Thank you guys!
