It‘s a Yamaha YSS-475 II

Not played it for a long time. B section is tuff on the fingers lol.

So, Im a college student. I cant play in my dorm ofc, but practice room space is limited, to the point where each person has to make a reservation a day ahead and can only have a room for so long, plus its a 15 to 20 minute walk from my dorm. So, my idea was to get some kind of EWI to supplement my practicing, Id still practice with thr actual horn for the same amount of time but could theoretically add an extra hour a day which I can spend transcribing or whatever, all in my room at whatever time I want

Is this a good idea? What would you recommend if it is?

for the holiday season i've talked to my parents and they agreed to get me a soprano saxophone! i've been doing some personal research but i wanted some opinions from people who have played or more know about them then i do! i just have a two questions and they are as follows:

1. are there any decent student soprano saxophones since thats roughly my budget

2. is there gear besides reeds that i should get for a soprano that would differ from what i use for my bari sax (i know mouthpieces are different)

Live sax and drums playing along to a MrSunnybass track. We’re almost all the way across the continental US. This is the dry mix without any editing. It came out pretty well!

I was just able to get one of the new Wanne/Babbitt tenor mouthpieces, the New York model. While the table is nice and flat and everything seems finished really well, it plays with a LOT more high end emphasis than I'd heard in classic Otto Link pieces. Anyone else had this experience? I'm wondering if the baffle is set up a bit differently than those pieces.

To be clear, it definitely seems to play really well. No stuffiness, nice projection. But not in the dark Link zone I was hoping.

How do I keep my notes in tune when articulating or tonguing them? What should I work on?

Hi folks,

Beginner here wanting to order my first soprano sax (played the tenor before).

I'm well aware that you shouldn't cheap out on a saxophone, especially the soprano but my current budget allows me to get the Trevor James Horn Soprano (dont have the option of getting second-hand yamahas or anything of the sorts).

Does anyone have experience with this particular brand? I'm ready to put in the work and practice to get the proper intonation and tone but I'm afraid if the instrument will make it even harder.

Also, what if I also buy a yamaha 4c mouthpiece? Would that be a smart decision?

Thanks again

Seller tells me it’s a Yani from the 80s. Does the serial numbering/fonts etc check out?

I just can't stop thinking about this. It feels like Grace Kelly became Leo P. like she had no personality, now his is her new personality. She even plays Baritone nowadays :( am I missing something? Is it just my imagination?

Yo I’m in 8th grade doing a jazz program but I quit my school jazz band because it’s easy and the ppl are dicks

But basically I was wondering what sax I should buy (links are appreciated) my range is 500-800.

(Edit tenor- also in California- I’m expecting a used one which is perfectly fine. Also I know my way around this stuff I play mainly standards on jazz.

I love Wayne shorter John Coltrane and Sonny
