The dog coming to check on you is absolutely priceless!

I just got my little sax, and found this video. I laughed soooo hard, it was like watching myself in a mirror.....dog included. Except mine howled. If we were in band together, I think the band director would have said we tied for last chair. Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

Reed was still dry. Wet it longer then place it on flat part of mouthpiece. Then roll your thumb over it, then attach it. 60 some years of playing

@@kvegh A reed needs to be wet in order for vibration to cause sound in the instrument. Unless you have a synthetic reed. I think by "roll your thumb" he just meant to carefully place the reed in alignment with the mouthpiece.

Why you glad? 🤒

Had to lube the reed a little bit longer. It was still dry and stiff. Also, u alternative position to line up the reed is bring it to the edge of the lip of the mouth piece, and then past the edge about 2 millimeters and tighten the clamp. This helps with breaking in new reeds, as the little extra bit of the rees will catch the air pressure a lot more easier at first. I used to play with Rico 3s and 4s hardness reeds. That was the one was to help, and then re adjust the reed to almost flush with edge, now that its been broken it. There will a slight bend at the reed tip, and will now catch air easier. And the same note for everyone was im guessing possibly not covering the octive key? Also, try not to clinch your jaw too much, as your lower jaw articulation is an important part in directing the air flow towards the tip down of,the mouth piece and reed assembly.

The dog showing up at 5:43 😂 🐶 "What is that noise??!" Thanks for the review.

Very amusing. I ordered one and then found this video. I'm in the same boat. Play guitar and drums and studied Sax when I was 12. Now I'm 56 so I'm sure I'll have similar results to start. I'm happy I'm not investing in an expensive model because I suspect I would have the same results.

I love the honesty of this video. Reminds me of the first time i tried to play sax , in my mind John Coltrane in reality one of those party things that unfurl as you blow .

This was hilarious. Thanks man. I don't even know what your channel is about, but consider me subscribed.

The shape of the mouth: the mouthpiece above the protruding upper lip short, placed in the neighborhood of this location The first play of LittleSax, whether novice or veteran, must carry lip exercises first: Don't press any holes, Put the LittleSax into the mouth to casually play. Adjust the depth of mouthpiece containing, when LittleSax produce "the most natural, the most carefree, the most resounding" sound, this position is correct. In this embouchure position playing more practice, let your lips adapt to this reed. In addition, the lips should be appropriate relaxed, if the lips too hard, will put the inlet blocked and no voice.

Suor Benedetta Thanks, Duke is a great dog. In this video, he is 11 years old! Such a sweet boy.

I did the same exact thing you did when I first tried to play my mini sax and my Nuvo Jsax. Glad to see i'm not the only one

I think the dog was asking you to please read the directions. LOL.

thank you for sharing this video and helping me decide whether or not I want to commit to buying one of these!

Hilarious, and Duke knows what's up.

I cant stop laughing by the dogs face....

You have to place reed on your tongun for a minute to get it wet. Then you put your lower lip over your teeth and just about bite down then you blow gently till you get a tone. This is key! 25+ years playing all models of sax. Enjoy

A funny presentation sir, and you`ve played well... ;)

The doggos... GOLD!

im consideringbone, bcs Im living in an apartment and my altosax is too loud for my neighbours . how loud is this? and yes. wet the reed more and buy a 1,5 reed in a store

This cracked me up. Keep on practicing, my friend! :)

Upsetting the dogs, they have excellent hearing and respond with anguish to that cacaphonic squeaking noise.

Duke was curiously interested.

Lol!!! I did the same thing. Blew nothing at first. Thanks for the demonstration.

Can't get past a screaming sound (stood on cat's tail), not the lower sound in the video. Tried soaking, teeth position makes a difference, but still sounds like a high pitched whistle. Is there any chance it's faulty?

Haha I'm laughing so hard right now 😅 thanks for the laugh, I needed it 😅

where does the bit of wood go? mine is in bits its not complete, its junk.

Great! you did as good as I did on my 1st try!!!

I'm waiting for mine. 😁

the day boy strikes again.. I know this kitchen. I made food with Pete and hung with Duke (RIP) and Terrance

Thanks! I struggled the same way! And thanks to all the other comments here. Gonna wet the reed, then.

Hi, I have the same item bought on ebay. And i can not make any sound? Is there anything i am doing wrong? Even when i take off that small top part like you, air is just goint trough it. Can you please help me. Tnx

Think yourself very lucky, especially if you have neighbours or value your hearing or sanity! When I eventually got a sound out everyone in the room jumped (including the poor dog), as I wasn't gripping it with my teeth! Still struggling. Ah for the days when it was silent...

Well, i got the thing yesterday and it took me like 10 minutes to actually be able to play a scale. It was harder than i had thought before I got the thing. I wonder if venova would be as hard.

Tears in my eyes. That's hilarious. Thanks for posting though - It must have been very tempting to have left the video on your hard drive!?

Love the Jaco T-shirt! :)

Thanks for the smile sir.. :)

Pete it took a GREAT DEAL OF COURAGE to post this. But you are FEARLESS AMIGO. Loved the appearance of Duke. Was Terrance hiding in the garage?

Hi Peter, what's your opinion of this Little Sax aka Zebra Pocket Sax? Looking forward to seeing more videos of your new pocket sax. I am considering picking up my sax lessons again.

Glad I found your video so I know it's not me! Maybe it will just be an ornament in the music room! lol

Can you give me a link to the exact pproduct?? Thanks:)

Help! I can't get a sound out of the thing!

Peter, I howled!! Would you happen to know where I could purchase reeds for the little sax?

Arrived yesterday then I went looking for reviews, I'll look some more, but there's always the Harmonica. Libraries have at least 2 harmonica instruction courses and at least 1 song book in digital downloads and zero shortage of KZread videos.

How did you go with this?

Ahahaha I laughed so hard, thanks for making my day sir 🤣 This really represents whats actually like to order chinese things from internet ahahaha, Keep up man and say say hello to Duke! 😄

Ok. That’s me out. I was loathe to buy it without trying it so thank you. I do love the sound. Could already hear stranger on the shore but no. Thank you so much.

Haha, the dogs throught you would call them for a walk... Big Grin... but I just also got one and almost got no sound out of it and then I also realized that the wood thing must be first soaked in water to actually oscilate... ;)

Did you keep practicing?

The reed needs to be wet for longer, also check out videos on embrochure. The reed strength might be too high also..

I got one of these in the mail and the whole thing was covered in mould .

I just got mine yesterday, same experience.... blowing my lungs out, no sound or only sudden high squeaks...... hope practice makes it better...

Did you name the dog after Duke Ellington? LOL he even played the 'tamborine' with you. This thing came on Aliexpress and I was tempted so I am researching. This thing requires so much effort to blow; I'd probably be breathless trying to get any kind of note out,.

My dog freaked out when I started learning sax! He was like what in the HECK is that thing??

Panic in the Neighborhood !!!!!!!! :)))

I read up on these. It's better to start with a 1.5 or 2 reed. Easier for beginners.

Oh how I wished Id seen your video before I bought my own pocket sax. Its still on its way to me and now Im heartbroken to know I will not even be able to blow a note. And all I wanted to do was sound like Kenny G.

Ur Funny 😆... Enjoy learning ur New Instrument 😀

Push in the clutch and throw it in first.

Hahaha!!! You made my day...

It sounds like the reed is still dry, hence the difficulties in producing sounds!

Lol I got a kick out of this ! Thank u! Lol

Let the dog try!

hahahahaha I got a Lade mini clarinet and it came with the reed preassembled. be careful cuz they tend to come way out of tune and he reeds are terrible and will make it even more out of tune. i had to use a drill and a tuner to fix mine when it came

I love non music and and picking up instruments and thinking this should be easy!!

the dog came to ask you to stop.

I got the same pocket sax. But it is very bad. The finger chart is not similar to all other woodwinds. And it is almost impossible to sound (even I know how to play saxophone a bit). I finally give it up. Now I get a "dood" from NUVO. Similar idea of pocket sax or clarinet. That's great and much much easy to play. With the plastic reed, I can even play it when taking a bath.

This shows that you do not practice enough. Another possibility is not to use appropriate reed. Try other reed. This kind of Pocket Sax instruments, including Xaphoon, reed has great influence. No key instruments, sound design of LittleSax is the best.

Wet the reed

…..about to give up!!

The reeds are probably crap. Get some Vandoren reeds

not a good sax but great video 4 sure

......any one....Bueler????...not a peep.

🤣🤣🤣👋👍🏻😁

Great lil video...but I would have been a little more cautious about sucking on a reed that may have been handled by a factory worker who could well have just picked the nuggets out his ass in the mens room at his break time :) ...hehehehe liked the vid all the same. :)
