when i heard czardas my heart stopped 😂😂 awesome playing dude you inspired me to play that song again

[@garyreid6165]

Both saxophones played excellently. Both had a very centered sound. But I really like the bronze because it sounded warm, clear and clean.

[@rdaugherty52]

Thanks for the demo I may just throw my sax in the trash now. How'd you do that?

[@gilsontopfstedt3554]

You should have played the same melody in both

[@medsimvallejo]

Excellent playing!!!Well done!!! I like the soft tone of the 20. The 10 seemed a little piercing at the top end however, it could have been the song played. Well done again!! Thank you!!!

I’d be interested in a comparison with their solid silver model.

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

Solid silver model is for the kids born wth a silver spoon in their mouths.

Beautiful sonority Mr
Agility and precision in notes with great elegance.
I even see that he chose the beautiful songs very well.
Please ... what's the name of the song on the second solo?
I wish health and success.
Thanks for the video.
Take care.

[@SaxophoneResources]

Thanks for your kind words :-) The second piece is Carnival at Venice by Jules Demerssemann, arranged by Fred Hemke.

What is preferred for solo performances accompanied by piano?

[@Ocar1643]

Bravo!!!!!

[@grimmseti]

What songs are you playing in this demo?

[@dumitrualbot9982]

Bravo super 👍

[@netocastro9626]

Man, I like the AWO10 or A-991. Brilliant, but have an easy control! I like Yanagisawa. And Selmer SA80 II. But I prefer a Yanagisawa.

[@amaralucci8869]

What was the first piece you played?

[@SaxophoneResources]

Hi Amara, it's an arrangement of Czardas by Monti. Best, A

[@singingandsaxophonelesson466]

Wo20 vs selmer series iiii(2002), which is the best choice?

[@SaxophoneResources]

You really have to try them out for yourself and decide which works best for you. Neither one is particularly better or worse than the other, just different! (My own sax is a Selmer Serie II)

[@singingandsaxophonelesson466]

Saxophone Resources Thank you Maestro Saxophone

[@singingandsaxophonelesson466]

In fact I have wO20 with 102 pink gold neck , 1960’s Borgani Professional, Borgani Jubilee 24K gold and SML Rev D. Someone is interested to inchange his series iii with my WO20. After I watched your video, I decided to keep my Yanagisawa

[@wheatley4306]

How do they perform in other genres?

[@SaxophoneResources]

Much the same as with a classical setup - the brass is a little brighter, whilst the bronze is darker sounding. In a pop/funk setting I'd possibly choose the brass for a bit more edge; if you're playing jazz it's really a case of what sound you're aiming for. Best to try them out for yourself if you can!

[@wheatley4306]

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunatly I can't try them out here, but perhaps next time I visit London. Have a good day.

[@markmanning2451]

Sounds like a tune from The Godfather!

[@arthursine9870]

B S...if you have ever seen the AWO20 you would know that both were the AWO 10.

[@darudek6016]

the "awo 20" bronze seems to light to me too
