I just bought a saxophone!
    #23358498 - 06/18/16 04:10 PM (7 years, 7 months ago)

I am super excited, was only 120$ used and came with a case and a ton of accessories.

It even is a made in France 1963 alto in fairly good condition!

The guy who I just bought it from was super chill, he even offered to give me lessons and more instructional books for free. I guess he needed the $ for a dental surgery which is why he stopped playing sax.

He plans to move back to Hawaii after the surgery and pick up playing uke.

Just wanted to share my excitement.

I need to start checking thrift stores and pawnshops, that is a nice flip though :thumbup:

I looked up the model I bought and saw one in better condition going for like 5-700$ but I may need to fix this one up before it's worth that much.

Saxophone is such an awesome instrument I doubt I will sell it unless I can't learn it for shit :lol:

I have never played a reed instrument before so this will be a long journey if I even decide to keep at it...



Isn't she beautiful though?

Nice on the saxophone man.
I wanted to play the saxophone in the fourth grade but my teacher said my hands were too small.  Fuck that shit.
Ended up playing cornet instead.

Thanks! You should find a cheap one if you really want to learn, its never to late! Fuck that teacher indeed.

Never heard of the cornet but it looks cool :thumbup: I have heard trumpet is the hardest wind instrument to learn.

Having never played a reed instrument I can safely say it is a huge adjustment from stringed instrument like guitar/ bass or piano.

Took me awhile just to get down sustaining notes half decently, made myself super lightheaded working on the mouthing too :lol:

Cool pic.

Ain't she beautiful?  I don't know :shrug: I know nothing about them. Right now you could call it the most beautiful instrument out there even if it's a street whore and I would have to believe you.

Here is a better pic that shows her beauty a bit more:



It has a cool floral engraving and the color and shine of the metal along with its "vintage/ tarnished/ worn" look give it some character :stoned:

I think that guy didn't have money and they wouldn't let him off, so he started fucking around on his sax until they got tired of it

My playing would probably make you piss your pants with laughter then :lol: My dog hates the sax so I may not get much chance to practice until she passes :sad:

After I have practiced a solid amount and have a decent foundation I want to find a instructor for a bit. Hopefully in a few months I will be confident.

How is that even possible?

Here is a super funky band with a killer sax player, the sax starts right about 1:00

Do U Want It? performed live by Papa Grows Funk at the 2012 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

Such a groovy beautiful instrument, how can anyone not get down on the sax?

Just a little update, I am finally getting somewhat used to the mouthing and fingering technique and can almost play through the main scale decently :lol:

In a few weeks I bet I will be comfortable enough to record and share something on here. This sax sounds really great I just wish I could play it better :tongue2: I finally got to the deepest notes today and man they are nice! You can really feel their vibrations especially when leaning the sax on your body. I have heard alto sax's are supposed to sound feminine but those deep notes don't to me.

All the stuff you can do with your mouth is awesome! A wider/ more "puffed" out mouth allows for deeper richer notes while a tighter mouth makes higher notes. You can also vibrate your tongue/ mouth while playing to add a sort of vibrato that is enhanced by humming and or expanding and contracting your mouth to bend the notes sort of. All in all its a ton of fun and I am one happy camper :stoned:

Also here is a song with some lovely sax, they also have 3 electric bassists :crazy2::

T-SQUARE - Sunnyside Cruise

It is some smooth jazz fusion and probably isn't what most of you are into but they are some amazing musicians and its some really soulful relaxing stuff.

Congrats. Saxophones are awesome instruments. If you're just starting out, find a secluded place to practice out of earshot, because beginnning sax students sound not unlike someone strangling cats.

That can only be an incentive to get better.

A nice melody played slowly but correctly sounds better than someone trying to play faster than their ability.

Not the person who originally said that but I was digging that tune until the sax came in. :lol:

I don't know what it is, I'm not a big fan of the tone of saxophone except for the lower voiced ones (baritone/bass?)
