Master Sax Technician BUILDS a New Saxophone!? | “Tru-Six”
Музыка
Today we visit the mountains of Asheville to visit the man that overhauls the horns for David Sanborn, Bob Sheppard, Joel C. Peskin, Warren Hill, and many more... He is none other than Ken Beason, a sax technician of over 40 years, and the savior of my saxophone that I ran over with my car. Him, the members of Retro Revival (Joel C. Peskin and Bob Sheppard), and the Wei family have created a new horn that have the beloved features of the Mark VI, combined with new features like modern intonation (thank goodness). It is called the Tru-Six.
Purchase the Tru-Six here (use code NAT123 for now $750 off!):

Song at 1:47 is by Franko Coleman (IG @franko_coleman). Thank you for the great track!

Rest in Peace, dear Ken Beason. It was an honor to be part of your life in any way. I am fortunate to have captured this video before you passed. You impacted so many people with your buoyant personality and your highly skillful sax-mechanical expertise. You played a pivotal role in evolving how saxophones are built today. Thousands of saxophonists will remember your life’s work forever!

That's why I love when selmer have a 3 rings option for their bari. Very nice
Rest in Pease Dear Ken! It was a pleasure working with you, every moment was a Gem!
I'm not even a saxophonist, but I can't not watch these kind of videos. The passion that these builders have is so refreshing, makes one want to play just so you can "honor" their work, you know?
rest in peace, Ken Beason. what a true legend.
Nathan, my man thank you so much for yet another great and educational video. What I want you to realize is that you are not just uploaded you tube videos. You are documenting jazz history for people 70 years from now. Track down old jazz men/women in your area before they pass on to the cotton club in the sky. Nathan, the next Ken Burns. Have you watched that series on jazz? Of course you have. Buddy bolden, Louis Armstrong. Where’s that third brother?
RIP sir Ken Beason Weissenberg technician
it's always a great day when Mr. Logic uploads😊

It’s an even better day when Alex comments
First time I don't hear a single difference between a VI and a modern horn: the VI and the Unlacquered sounded identical. Can't wait to try one...
god that gold lacquered tru-six is the sexiest horn i've ever seen
Such a great tenor! Can't wait to get one!!!
Michaelangelo lives in Asheville. Wow! That's amazing!
I wish you nothing but the best young man. Take care.
loved the video btw. Always good to hang with some greats
I play alto and I have learnt over the years that if a saxophone isn’t built right it doesn’t play right. If one key is to hight is different of the saxophones body there’s a major different playing feel
We're super stoked to have a couple of these at our shop! Curious to see how poeple with a love for vintage horns like this one.
Wow look at you hangin with the big shots. Joel's setup is awesome, that's literally what I'm shooting for.
The saxes look and sound great! I really like the sound of the Tru-Six Vintage Unlacquered.
Loved seeing this video! Your hair got long! For anyone reading this comment Ken is a master and is “the master” technician for the stars... you name the player and chances are that they have had Ken set up their horn! I met Ken through a close friend in the Sax manufacturing industry years ago and trust him completely with all my horns. Integrity, skill and kindness are a killer set of attributes... this man is a gem! Love you man and look forward to seeing you soon!
Such a beautiful experience!
WOW!😄
Beautiful red pads wow
Pro-tip: Once I get my neckstrap in the right spot on a horn I thread the needle of a button through both sides of the straps so it can't slip.
Gold cognac lacquer #1, Mark VI #2, unlacquered #3.
Dopeness!! I would of loved to spend the day there!
Truly masters of the trade
RIP Mr Ken Beason
looked away for a second and didn’t even realize he switched horns.
I'd definately buy one if I were in the market.
3 sax legends in one video, awesome!
Even though I am sure those saxes are great, there aresome other also great options on the market almost 2000€ cheaper like Trevor James or Eastman... This is one of those rare times when I actually could tell a slight difference between the saxes, the cognac finish has something that makes it sound better to my ears. I loved the looks of the unlacquered though...
Amazing intro.
Awesome!
You look really familiar! Thanks!
I’ve been in that basement many times. Ken is a genius!
10:32 😂😂😂
bro the transitions are killing me. also stranger danger nate!
how did you get these legends to do that intro with you hahaha
Wow!
R.I.P. Ken Beason.
*Another virtuosic "Bob" (who is new to me!) *Bob Berg, Bob Mitzer (sp), Bob Reynolds ... Nathan, beautiful tenor sax sound and articulation!! Nice conversation and demonstration!👌 Thanks, champion 🏆
hilarious intro
Jesus Christ, Bob is a savage on that thing. Never heard of him before but I will be checking out his stuff
Haha funny recall to the car incident
Great!
Great Video! Bro the ending hahahahaha
Professional and humorous, love these guys!
I would LOVE a unlacquered baritone sax
Wow x 5
This video hits different now

Ken passed away😢😢 Very sad day
"Wow"
I’ve never seen anything a scarier smile in my life
wow
“Wow”
this is such a cool video. different generations of sax players coming together to showcase new horns and have some laughs
Awesome vid Nathan. These type of vids give us a look into the life of the masters and the fun they have doing what they love! You makin history fam!
Wow
This is a classic lol
They should try a Yamaha Tenor 875EX versus a Selmer Mark VI or VII !!! And then say which one plays better!! I've been playing Yamaha Professional for over 40 years and my choice is always going to be Yamaha because they play easier and are always easy-to-use going up and down to the basement of the horns!! And it doesn't matter if you are playing Soprano or Alto or Bari Sax!! They're all easy to play and you will always get the best sound out of it, no matter what!!!
RIP Ken
Grande Bob !
Good stuff!
i love sond daisrerrrrrrr
watching the intro while brushing my teeth
The bare brass one got my attention.
166k? Actually 168k at my viewing. Amazing how that bumps up.
🎷❤️❤️❤️❤️ already subscribed to you😊
“Waw”
I did not expect Bob Sheppard to pop up lol
Bari sax neck strap rings drive me up the wall with the balance sometimes :(
Pro tip: Flossing before brushing is actually optimal :)
how do you get that "delayed articulation" effect that you do? like 9:54 for instance

Hey I am getting braces on my upper and lower teeth. I remember you having some. What was your experience w them? How does it affect your playing?
You should try the stage I made based on you
how much for the sound dowser
At That price I'd rather purchase a Selmer Paris Supreme...lol...
Those are incredible horns, and no I can't tell them apart by sound.
Ok
First
