Your setup and mine are so similar! I’m going to try your Ponzol mouthpiece. Solid, bright tone man! You rock.

I just wanna say thank you for making this video it helped me see what it can do and today I finally went out and bought one for myself, my favorite part is the sound I understand what he means by it I suggest you buy this horn great sound and great quality

Hey Pedro, I used to own a 66R Dark Lacquer Tenor and a System 76 Gold Lacquer Alto both fantastic horns throughout my college years and they both held up really well. Keep it up with the great work!

Hey buddy. Thanks for the comment. Thats awesome that you had the 66R. I tried it myself and I liked it very much. These horns are work horses and will last a very long time, so I'm excited to see how long they will last me. Thanks for watching! :)

Clicked like before even watching. You can never go wrong with a video by Pedro!

Abolone is a shell I believe. Great sounding horn.. got a black pearl tenor coming soon.

Hai i play the P.Mauriat 55 swing jx body bow and neck is bronze the bell is brass and has silver content in it, but far as i know it is a discontinued model and a Jod Jazz hr mouthpiece love the combo

Thanks for the video Pedro. How do take care of the lacquer on the instrument though? I also have the same instrument and my lacquer is deteriorating. How do u keep the dark lacquer in prime condition?

I've been looking into getting this horn because when I tried a friend's system 76 I just fell in love with it. But he has shown me that the keywork isn't very sturdy and had to be repaired a couple months after he bought it. Do you have this problem with the horn as well?

Great vid, I’m considering System76, Le bravo or Antigua power bell 4240, cost wise the latter two are friendly which is the reason I’m thinking towards that, sound wise I love System76. Do you know if the build quality of System 76 is superior to the other two or would they be similar considering they are all from Taiwan? I have tried Le Bravo and System 76 yet to try the Antigua

Hello Pedro, very nice. How do you like the Ponzil mouthpiece compared to a Jody Jazz Superjet?

Abalone is the shell of a sea snail sort of thingy. They carve the keys out of that

How much does one of these cost used?? I'm looking to by a tenor.

whats the difference In this horn to the 66?

Do you think if i used another mouthpiece(syos smoky probably) I could get a lighter jazz tone?

GReat Pedro please i would like to know what your set up about metal mouthpiece thank you

We have the same neckstrap! xD I love how you are showing off this gorgeous horn and I'm looking at your neckstrap.

Hey Pedro, What Legere reed should i get if i play classical music on an alto sax? I play at high school so how long does one last seeing as I go through a few reeds somewhat quickly?

Sam Polite the classic cut is going to give you the tone you need for classical music. Check the strength chart to see what would work for you. Use my code to get 15% off "MUSICBYPEDRO". Also the best part is that if you get one and it doesn't fit for you then go through their exchange program and they'll send you a different strength for free. Let me know if you have any questions.

You should find a band method book to get you going. Also some private lessons. I do have some good mini lessons on alto if you check out my mini lesson playlist. Also make sure you're subbed so you can get more lesson videos and reviews/tips in the future.

Tomorrow this is gonna be a year old :)

HI Pedro. I was watching very close you how formed your embouchure on both mouthpieces. And, I didn't see much difference from the video you did on the alto. Was this a correct observation? thanks.

Not all new instruments will sell in the best playing condition. Always be ready to get some small repairs done, as some instruments can be damaged during shipping.

I'd say spend half the money on a great horn instead of a project horn. Contrary to popular beliefs, Mark VI's aren't for everybody. Get a great pro horn, new, then you can look at it in the future. I prefer my Syste 76 over a Selmer Serie II that I was playing for 16 years.

Music By Pedro Dave Koz plays a 62 alto, so then I saved up my money and bought a used first generation 62 in high school. I tried a Mark VI owned by my improvisation teacher, didn't like it, I guess I am too attached to my horn, and as a young player I didn't want to change my sound. Went to a Sam Ash to buy reeds but I ended up trying a Cannonball and a 76 in the store. I came out of the store with a couple of boxes of Hemke reeds and a brand new 76.

The case looks really small, is there any room for the neck and mouthpiece?

I just got one a few weeks ago. I got the 76 version 2 and the case although it may look small there's plenty room. A compartment inside the case under where the sax goes and plenty of pockets on the outside for reeds and anything else you may need.

I love your assessment of the horn! Great acknowledgement of both the look and sound. I did notice that you did a decent amount of processing on the saxophone when focusing on its sound... I'm a big believer in using the tools available in the context of a recording, but when trying to evaluate the tone of an instrument, try to avoid excessive use of effects such as reverb, eq, and compression.

isn't this the same one as the one Derek Brown uses?

Hiiiiiii my name is Samson, I am new saxophonist just 2 year ago, what is your tenor's model.

I've been playing for about 6 years and I'm getting a cannonball

So I emailed P. Mauriat to find a dealer in SoCal... I received a response back from Albert Musical Instruments Co. in Taiwan. They stated they forwarded my contact info to a local dealer who would contact me shortly... So, these are Taiwanese horns, NOT French. Disheartening ☹️ I can probably buy a $400 new Tenor off of Amazon and it will be made by the same artisan, same factory and materials.

first :D

Please don't call this a 'review'; it's a sales pitch for Mauriat, like the rest of your horn videos.
