It was recorded on a small hand-held voice recorder, so the audio is less than optimal. Mikayla was 14 and had been playing alto sax about 2 1/2 years when this was recorded.

    @mikaylasax Was it a jody jazz classic because those seem to be red or black

    @mikaylasax ... FYI, that sax is for sale right now on Ebay.

  • @mikaylasax
    @mikaylasax Před 12 lety

    @TheCzarofussr .... That's a long time ago. It was probably a combination of all three, embochure, sax, and mouthpiece.

  • @mikaylasax
    @mikaylasax Před 12 lety

    @TheCzarofussr ...It was a Jody Jazz mouthpiece, probably a 4 or 5. That mouthpiece was sold a couple of years ago.

  • @Alexander_Alberts
    @Alexander_Alberts Před 12 lety

    How do you get that awesome tone at like 0:45 where it sounds rustic? Is it embochure, or the sax and mouthpiece, please please help!

  • @mikaylasax
    @mikaylasax Před 12 lety

    @TheIzzysteve ... They are great horns. The mouthpiece shown on this video is not a contemporary Meyer mouthpiece, but is instead a NEW YORK Meyer (a vintage mouthpiece). You can occasionally find them for sale on Ebay. Thanks for listening.

  • @TheIzzysteve
    @TheIzzysteve Před 12 lety

    @mikaylasax Sweet. I have a '58 mark VI and I also use a Meyer, but it's a 6M.

    @mikaylasax Před 12 lety

    @TheIzzysteve ... It's a 1962 Selmer-Paris Mark VI.

  • @mikaylasax
    @mikaylasax Před 13 lety

    @dandaman62 Mikayla plays alto and soprano sax, as well as clarinet and flute. Briana plays all four principal saxes (alto, tenor, soprano, and baritone). Briana also plays clarinet, bass clarinet, french horn, trumpet, and on and on. Unfortunately, both Mikayla and Briana have quit playing music for now. I hope that one day they will resume, but they have no plans currently.

    @juliosax93 No problem! Lots of people think my soprano looks like an alto because it is curved. Most sopranos are straight so it is easy to make that mistake. Best wishes!

  • @juliosax93
    @juliosax93 Před 14 lety

    @mikaylasax I'm sorry, but, I made a mistake, when I said each time better, was about the videos, where you are 13, 14, 15, it's each time better, and about your sound, I was talking about the alto sax, in a video that you're playing a soprano, this was my mistake, sorry... And thanks for your attention...
