This is really great! I also love your fantastic piano playing.
Love the Conn Transitional (1933), I play a 32. Mind you the 10M, you can see the fuss!! Love it!! The Conn Transitional (1933) with the reverb kicks along!!!
Those conn tenor saxophones are absolutely amazing, I personally have a conn 6m alto
hola maestro,espero estes bien,que buenos videos que tenes ,siempre los miro desde argentina,te queria preguntar que tenor estas husando ahi,que marca es
Браво!
Hola maestro,me parece a mi? O el sonido del CONN es más robusto? tiene mejor sonido
Os dois tem excelente timbre. Parabéns pelos os instrumentos.
Ficou bonito, parabéns!
Wow You are the Dexter Gordon
Very intimate sounding, like a Selmer Super Balanced Action. I have heard the 156 is better than the earlier "Art Deco", I wondered if this is true and if you know what is their difference?
Making My Heart ❤️ Sing..... Memories from my childhood in Haliburton Canada 🇨🇦. Wood burning in the fireplace. Always jazz on the "stereo". Duke, Ella, Count Basie.... Moon rising... You ...Mr. Boniface, Would have been a welcome and revered addition
Lovely ! I am getting a Marigaux tenor myself soon 🙂very nice to hear your sound <3
Excelente
From Chatham Ontario Canada... Superb!!
Yes this guy is terrific .. great sound and terrific lyrical phrases . he should be a headliner . Bobby G. 😀
As i hear it, the Cutter's tone peaks about 2 partials higher than the 6M's. That's the core - a higher frequency. Its there on the 6M too, but its delicate. The midrange core on the 6M is not nearly so prominent on the Cutter.
Your Sound is So beautiful and Awesome I become a your fan. Wow. So smooth. Warm. Soulful.
Wow amazing 😮
Complimenti bellissimo suono, interessante giocare con note centrali mettendo in risalto la pienezza del suono, in contro correnti alla maggior parte dei contraltisti moderni che giocano su note alte. 👏👏👏
Bellissimo sound complimenti. Di che anno è il sax buscer
conn 10M !!!!! Nothing comes close. Selmer is an over rated saxophone. They just have good marketing.
Surprised I liked the Selmer better
Thanks ! Excellent !
Thanks! Fine ! 🌷from the Netherlands .
Yes would love to hear more! I think I’m right in saying that the first Radio Inproved’s were produced in 1934 tho (?)
You are quite right - my typo! Thanks for noticing :)
Yes...I own 190xx tenor
Love your playing! , both horns are great, I ‘ve owned 4 New Wonder II’s, and 4 transitionals based on the body of NWII’s, (splitkey bell) they all sound a bit different!, (different pads?/condition etc..) is it because they’re handmade ?
Beautiful!!! What key is this?
Thank you. It's in Eb
My father played a Conn 10M exclusively when he had his band in the late 40's. I still have old photos of him playing it with his band. Nice smokey tone.
My father had given me his silver plated gold bell 6M when I decided I wanted to play the saxophone, and I've had it since 1964, the horn itself from 1939. Still to this day, the best sounding horn I've ever played, and I've played many as I used to sell saxophones for a living. Call me biased, but the Conn has always been a magic horn for me. You do it justice. This horn is made to sing
nice! but we get a better sense of your sound without all the affects.
Beautiful. You hear the melody so clearly even in the most burning lines of the solo. Well done !
Bravissimo. Un SUONO cosi dolce.🎶🎵🎼
Nicely done. Cheers👍🏼👏🏼
Mesmerising, as always, Tim. Sheer class sir.
Gorgeous playing!
Lovely one, Tim! God bless.
I think that Conn is underestimated..... specially the Naked Lady 1947 and under (rolled tones) I love that sax!!!
Beautiful!
Thanks Roger
Lovely stuff. Thanks
Very glad you enjoyed it.
Tim, you’re such a jewel to jazz saxophone community. Another flawless performance with that buttery tone 👏👏👏
That's very kind indeed Joseph. Thank you!
Can't tell the difference at all.
I miss my cigar cutter and radio improved altos they have a beautiful round ring to the sound
They really do. Not sure where you're based or if you'd be at all interested, but in all seriousness, the Cigar Cutter in the above video is for sale. Let me know via my website (in description) if you want to talk more. Sorry if that sounds a bit presumptuous! Otherwise, glad you enjoyed the sound in the video :)
What happened to your “my one and only love” video? Can you please repost? I enjoyed learning from it
too short
Playing better than ever 😍
which mouthpiece configuration has your sax mr?
Hi there - it's an Otto Link Super Tone Master (''Florida USA' vintage)
Sounds great!
Tim, sounds wonderful, full lush deep tone! Are you finding a preference over this model with either the Conn 10M or the Conn Transitional saxophones?
At the moment, yes - had this about a year and still find it hard to move away from it despite still having an incredibly good 10M
What a tone! Wonderful!
Wow, that was a stark difference. The NWII had a nice warmth, low buzz, sort of low tone that creates a nice soothing effect. The 10M looks and sound bigger- immediately noticed a difference and wondered if you anything else changed besides the horn (did he get closer or use a different mouth piece. Thanks for sharing, this was great! I'm looking at a NW II bari that has the same buzz effect as the tenor. I was curious if that was due to the design or the horn itself. So this was very helpful. I def prefer the warm sorta muffled buzz of the NWII for general listening, but I could see how the 10M would be better for big band upbeat numbers.
So I'm listening to this again, and initially the 10m sounds brighter, but then they sound exactly the same. Same warmth and buzz- the 10m is a bit more resonant. But I think I figured out the big difference isn't the horn, but your comfort. I noticed you really went in while playing the 10M, so I'm guessing you enjoy that horn better.
