Lew Tabakin and Ralph Lalama are the 2 I know who taught it a lot, but I wouldn't doubt it goes back further! This is The Boston Sax Shop S-Series 7*. I recently got it back out and I've been enjoying how it records

Definitely complete that one. It’s a very rewarding instrument.

Did you know for the people where you set your ligature can make a difference It you have it set on the bottom where the screws are on the read you'll get a more dark tone and if you have it on top of the mouthpiece you'll get a brighter tone.

Does it matter what type of ligature you have? Brass or any of the others?

like it i think I will play it when I get in 5th grade

I am beginner and want That Dark Sound. I for a jody hr custom Dark 8* and use à very hard reed(3mm francois Louis). It is very hard to play but the Sounds is so nice!

this sounds like my clarinet

How about that Colin Stetson, cosmic direness?

Plas Johnson

how to get that airy dark stan getz sound?

Is there a way to make the low G on tenor less blairy? It's the only note on this instrument I struggle with, especially coming down from middle D up.

could be a key height issue

Is that forked F mechanism an added feature of your horn? If so can you explain what it is?

Maybe I’m missing something but I honestly don’t know what this is supposed to be recommending as a technique. Play different neighboring notes? Tongue? Ok

I've been in two bands over fifteen years. I have recordings of them on KZread. Complete songs. I've recorded solo work and duo and trio work with other pro musicians..I have like around 100 views on my videos...this kid is telling us how to warm up a horn and he has nearly 5000 views. Somebody explain this to me.

well I'm not a kid, I play professionally 🤔 but its all about knowing your audience and providing value. Musicians used to get by just by playing, but nowadays anyone can play.
