- LET'S GOOOO. Finally got my first tenor sax! The last time I played this thing was my freshman year in college which was a little over 4 years ago. So glad to get into it - now it means I can transcribe Coltrane and Joel Frahm and so many others. Brecker will have to wait a while, I ain't ready for all that. Lol.

I've clearly been doing my unboxing videos wrong...
Ayyy!
Didn’t expect to see you here!
Your unboxing vids are just fine jay. Might be different if you were 20 years younger though :)
Your vids are awesome man. If I do my vids just like this when I am your age, I think people would just be terrified of me 😂

Bro I had to turn this video down multiple times cause some parts didn't sound like a saxophone unboxing😂
Lmaoo man it was actually much worse. I had to delete a lot of it out haha
@@Saxologic LMAO
@@Saxologic loioooooool
@@Saxologic can i get a director's cut please
@Sax Spy LMAO
There are 3 levels of personality in saxophone players:
- the chill saxophonist
- the goofy but still great saxophonist
- nathan
Cracked head energy
these sound like types of personalities and also wouldn't the chill and goofy be the same thing?
Um my name is Nathanael or Nathan 😬
he is a bit of a fart sniffer type
@@nathanaelramirez2527 didnt ask
Nathan, you’re what the kids call “cracked”.
Really? I’ll take it.
@@Saxologic Imagine drinking 2 NOS energy drinks and tearing apart a sax you got on eBay for $200, then repadding with Chinese pads, epoxy and prayers, and then, once it's playable with some leaks here and there, you sell it for $720. Now that's what I call 'cracked'
@@n1ghtblur r/oddlyspecific
@@n1ghtblur it would also be cracked if you put some crack in it
Classical saxophonist be like: it not shiny tho
This had me dying
@@ballsacksologic1108 Lol
Lmao
Nah
If it’s a silver sax, i like it SHINY or matte, but brass colored, matte all the way.
In some random Hard Drive, there is a .mp4 file of Saxologic saying "lets fucking go" uncensored
I want that Hard Drive
😂😂😂😂
We all do

I felt your excitement when opening that tenor baby sheesh. I can’t wait to get mine in the future .. amazing playing nathannnnn
Jimmy Galvan! I see you’re back on the main channel. Hope you are well. Tell your dad I said hey haha
@@Saxologic What kind of mic do you use hear? Wow you sound naturally amazing on tenor from Day 1!
When I opened my tenor my friends were standing around me and when I opened it the started clapping 👏.
I had a Tenor, but unfortunately, I was upset with life and gave up the saxophone and sold my tenor. I regret it. Luckily I have my alto still and am getting back into playing! To anyone reading this, please do not make my same mistake. Don’t let severe difficulties in life make you quit your passions... its not worth it
Captain Kirk playing the mario kart licc is the most amazing thing that was ever contrived in this quantum soup of reality
I agree. Also, I loved your choice of words. A true cabbage man, you are.
@@Saxologic cabbage man ?
@@Saxologic just as Ryan is your Idol, you sir are my idol. Seeing the joy on your face when you opened that case gave me pure joy. You deserve it and i can't wait to see what amazingness you bless us lucky bois with! Keep it up my dude
The cat was nicely guarding your tenor while you were away so nobody would take it. Such a nice cat!
Ah that’s a good way to put it. I’ll give her a raise. More snacks for her
@@Saxologic YESSS
WOOOOO CONGRATS MY GUY!!!
This account man 😂😂😂
@@Saxologic Wait that's not actually your burner account? Lmao..
@@Saxologic you know you love me Nathan
@@ballsacksologic1108 You are very correct!
The Mario kart lick at the beginning
Last frame saxologic isn’t real, he can’t hurt you
Last frame saxologic: 15:23
Ryan Devlin is too good. Sheesh, those lines 🤯
Right!??! 😩😩
Like masturbation on a sax. But does any audience want to actually pay to hear this noodling?
Maybe not mainstream audiences. But there is clear advantage to this. If he wanted to play things that would appeal to mainstream, he certainly already has the technical skills to do so. If you can play Bebop you can play anything. Of course you still have to learn the language of other music but it won’t be as hard to do as it is with bebop/modern jazz
@@Saxologic speaking facts, my guy. Dude is talented as heck and can play whatever the hell he puts his mind to.
That is an insanely awesome and high quality tenor for $3,600. I've seen Selmers and Yanigasawas that go upwards of 12-15 grand on websites, and the fact the custom one was at a fraction of that price, and sounds just as good, if not better than those pro level horns totally blows my mind.
I feel very fortunate and Ken is too humble!
Still made in China, but if that doesn't bother you....
4:12 my mom walked in and she was very skeptical about what i was watching
Sorry lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I watched it over and laughed so hard!!!
Best sax unboxing ever. Everyone seemed to be having a good time and genuinely enjoy talking a to each other. Sometimes when you have a guest things can be kinda awkward
Thank you!
And, I agree. Fortunately, the Devlins are very down to Earth! I got lucky!
I am a tenor player and a saxologic fan. As you can imagine, I am SCREAMING WITH UNINHIBITED JOY. THAKN YOU NATHAN AHHHHHH
Real Talk Saxologic did for Sax what Hikaru Nakamura did for Chess.
They’re making it cool and expanding it to people who otherwise wouldn’t have looked into it. 🙏 💯
Sax 🤝 Chess
The openings are always getting better
closings too tbh
Oh man, Father Devlin gave a masterclass in my high school band a few months ago, it’s so cool to see him here! Really cool guy too.
Also, congrats on the tenor :)
Awesome! He is a great guy.
@@Saxologic Disney isn't Disney without Father Devlin's bari sax. My band really enjoyed his workshop and playing!
Father Devlin out here droppin truth bombs.
I can confirm, he is that cool in person. He occasionally does sectionals for my jazz band (he did today actually) and it's the most enjoyable part of my day.
“It’s a little heavy.”
*Looks like somebody hasn’t picked up a bari sax before*
Jjjajajaja... the difference when you switch from playing a Bari to soprano is catastrophic jjjajajaja
@@adriandelgado8709 For solo and ensemble this year, I had to switch from bari to soprano and I could barely even make a sound on it. Its ridiculous
Bass is laughing right now
@@E-flat Tubax and uncompact contrabass and subcontrabass are also laughing.
@@toastboi5106 Octocontrabass (non existent) and Hyperbass (non existent) are also laughing
I love Ken, bought both my alto and tenor from him back in the 90's when he lived in north Texas. He reworked the Mark VII Tenor I bought from him and it's a beast. Congrats on the new horn!
I love how the Mario kart lick was used as a censor and I heard just enough of it to realize what it was.
Haven't watched yet but beyond exicted for you!!
Thank you clarinet master!
I feel like hearing you play tenor is going to help my sound SO much!
Wow, I’m so glad I checked this out - I went to college with Ken Beason! He was my friend and repairman and saved my butt more than once, however I had no idea he was making his own horns now - that’s mind blowingly cool! Funny memory: One of those butt saving times was when I dropped my VI, took it to Ken, he looked it over for a minute, sat down, put it between his legs, wrapped himself around it - keep in mind Ken was built like Mr America - and gave it a big twist.....while I quietly freaked out!.........It played perfectly :^)
I bet his horns are fantastic - congratulations!
Who’s Mr. America?
10:28 *holy crap I never knew he was only 24*
As mainly a tenor player, I've been waiting for this video for a long time! I was excited to hear how Nathan sounded on tenor, and am happy to say that he sounds amazing!
I can't believe someone sent you an Otto Link Reso Chamber! What a score!
Yes! Not free though, I still have to pay for it haha. Currently waiting for a different option then I’ll compare the 2 before I make a purchase.
@@Saxologic What are you looking for the Link to do that it's not yet doing? I might have another option you can consider. BTW I'm primarily an alto guy as well but have a strong tenor sound and setup.
I am just starting out but why or better yet how can a mouthpiece cost that much..I just don't get it.. most I seen are just plastic I don't get the big deal but I know it's only because I am ignorant to this subject... only been at it for two month...green as it gets.
@@tate333666 You Don't need to spend lots of money on gear to get a good sound. Don't get fooled into thinking otherwise. Just play your horn and listen to your idols and try and emulate what you hear in your ears and more importantly what you hear in your head.
Interesting: your vibe on that first day was very different. Very relaxed and mellow! Ahh, now I feel even more compelled to get a tenor.
ayyyy father devlin IS my private teacher 😎 he’s trained me to be a professional in Mario Kart Lickology™️
I'm a jazz student at UCF and Ryan is a God. Glad to see some locals around here in the comments
@@user-df5hw2sm3f thank you for the kind words ❤️
I have a lot to live up to then if I'm gonna go to UCF or Rollins for that matter!
Nathan: Picks up Tenor Sax
Also Nathan: Already better than I will ever be
Sounds really great and has better tone than a lot of other players after years of playing tenor and says: "I'm pretty bad at this". ;-)
Nathan in his locked bedroom at 3am in the morning: 4:07-4:37 (listen with your eyes closed) :)
Dude you sound really great on that horn man! It's clearly well built and super resonant...Mad props to Ken!
Congratulations!! As for your new baby to be touched by one of your idols, that will always make it even more special!
As a Tenor player, I approve of this video.
I enjoyed your lesson with the tenor... and this video is one of my favs. Congrats on the sax.... you're a good man. congrats on 105K
If I am a good man than you are the grand ultimate prime greatest man. Thank you Gus!
LET'S GOOOO. I WAS WAITING FOR YOU TO GET TENORRR!! I also started to play tenor not to long ago. I am a freshmen and TENORRRR! I look forward into your tenor playing toot
I felt as excited as you are when you got your tenor! Tenor is my first and favorite saxophone and im glad you're happy with your sax😁🎷🎷
Nathan you're what we call "a different breed" besides you're literally one of my idols
I am a mixed breed! Haha
Ryan Devlin is an awesome guy and musician. I met him at a Florida all county jazz band a couple years back. As a tenor player he’s an idol. Glad you’re picking up tenor sax now!
Congratulations, your excitement is contagious, the cat is handsome and the horn looks and sounds great. But more than that...it was made by a talented artist for you! This makes it special and adds a unique story to you and The Ken ! :)
Nice fade my dude. Tenor has a nice vintage look. Grats my guy!
It's so nice to see you getting a tenor. I been following you for a while now and I'm mostly a tenor man. I love your playihg. I was melting when I heard you play tenor, man... You can play. I really like your new horn, congratulations, dude! I play a 10M from 1941. Mines has a rustic look like your horn.
Finally! Our prayers have been answered. We all wanted saxoman go tenor
Enjoy it dude! My teacher told me even the neck has a big effect on the horn. He would go as far as to mess around with the keys itself for certain effects. My teachers would call him a “gear head”. He would literally have drawers of mouthpieces and different tools. Love the look and sound of it. Have fun;)
I love Ryan. His playing, sound, feel, and lines are fantastic! That being said he sounds better on your horn then on the VI in my opinion lol
I love the tenor, I just recently switched to tenor for concert and jazz band and it's so fun
Man! I was so hype too! I was walking around my office at the beginning like “LETS GOOOO” 😂 congratulations man, I am looking for a soprano sax and im hoping the guy you got this tenor from has one. LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!
He is currently out of stock of his sopranos but I’m sure he would make you one! And yesss let’s goooooo
He's literally so attracted to this saxophone right now.. can you blame him
Great video dude! The chemistry you had with Ryan was so enjoyable to watch and it definitely helps that he is a BEAST on tenor!
Dude he is sooooo good wtf!!
As someone who also just recently got his tenor sax, I know the excitement and jubilation that you feel! I am very happy for you! Also, mine has got those big metal resonators too, plus a bigger bell. The bigger bell is also what helps create that big phat sound. Congratulations man!!
Thank you man! Happy tenor playing - also cool profile pic! The black hole haha
@@Saxologic thanks man! Lol yeah I'm an aerospace engineering major. I look forward to potentially playing bari sax on the moon lmao
This looks soooo much like my Eastman52ndst Tenor saxophone , every detail is literally the same haha 👌🏽👌🏽
Haircut is fresh and the sax is insane.. The bell is huge
nice tenor bro...now you’ve gotta get your hands on some of the other cool saxes and build onto the collection! Someday you should try to get a sopranissimo and review it on the channel, i’ve always wanted to play one. Congrats!
“This is literally sexy” -Saxologic 2021
Going from tenor to alto I felt the same way 🥰
Good Deal... I played a Weisenberg Horn at Namm a couple of years ago and almost purchased one. You've moved me forward on that now.
Congratz on the new tenor, man. Looks and sounds amazing!
Showing off not only your new sax but that fresh trim. Great video mate!
Your vibe when opening that horn says it all - you’re a tenor player now 🎷💪🤘🏻sounds great man, looking forward to hearing more of it!!
Thank you brother Steve!!!
The feeling of getting a new instrument is something else. Congrats!
YOU FREAKIN ROCK!!!!! I love your sound on it already, idgaf it is awesome!! (but I loved those out-of-tune notes at the 7-minute mark too. so epic)
P.S. shout out to the guy in the comments saying why aren't you as ripped as your brother.
Surprised Ryan wasn’t looking up at the ceiling while playing your horn😂😂😂
Either that or looking out into the horizon
Crazy good player though
I was too busy being nervous in front of Saxologic 😩
@@RFDSAX I thought Nathan was the nervous one. He had the same way of talking with you as he did with Baptiste and Chad.
@@RFDSAX how could you not be nervous near him🥲
Ok the fact that Tim lent you a vintage Otto Link Reso Chamber is INSANE. Those things sell for like thousands of dollars nowadays!
Whew! That’s a lot. I’m currently awaiting for the Boston Sax Shop Mouthpiece. If I like the Reso more, I’ll purchase it! If I like the BSS more, I’ll send it back.
@@Saxologic I have a BSS .105! It’s a great mouthpiece, I’m sure you’ll dig it
From 6:10 to 6:21 what did Nathan play, I can’t stop rewinding to listen to it. Please someone help me with my insanity
Just some improv!
Congratulations! Just purchasing my 1st tenor as we speak! But you know, not being a massive CZcams celebrity, I've had to go for an entry level Selmer TS400.
3:14 he must have sent you the Scotchlite Reflective Material to put on the case so you don't run over your saxophone again.
Omg lol
@@Saxologic Also, you might want to consider getting a doughnut mute to help out with the intonation on the low Bb

Aww what a kind thing to say!
I see you with the side fade!!! Looks good also that tenor sounds and looks gorgeous dude!
Ryan’s Dad makes the video. Lol. Cracked me up! He just jumps in and plays the Mario Kart lick like it’s nothing special. 😂 I LOVE that guy!! He reminds me of my Dad.
Also, dayum. His tenor tone is to DIE for! Am I the only one who thinks the Lupifaro sounds the best of his three horns?
I like to see someone as exited about tenors as I am... this makes me happy :D
YESSSSS TENNNOOOOOOOOR!!!!!!!
ps you should make videos with all 3 saxes in the future
Want a bari soooo bad so I can make quartet arrangements!
@Saxologic I wish I could let you use my bari lol.
GOD i love seeing this. Grew up playing with Ryan in middle and high school honor bands and he's just such an awesome dude. Great seeing you two working together
Wow you sound really great can’t believe this is your first tenor
Maaaaaaan being a tenor player and watching you got me really excited!!!! Can’t wait to see future videos about tenor masterpieces 🥺❤️
BRO I’VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT YOU WOULD SOUND LIKE ON TENOR!!!!
Saxologic looking clean AF with that cut
I like your videos Nathan. I am an older sax player. I went to Junior HIgh school with Ed Calle who is a very good friend of mine. He is of course a UM grad. I also took lessons at the U with Dan Bonsanti many, many years ago. I made the choice to not continue with a music career and went to work. I have the ability to pick up the horn after a very long time and come back quickly and sound pretty good. I am also friends with Ken Beason. He overhauled my original bought new Selmer mark 6 alto about a year ago and is now doing a few other horns I left at his home a few months back. Congrats on your Beason horn. He is a master at his craft. AFter seeing yours I will be ordering my custom shop horn once I go pick on my other horns. I am retired after 43 years of work at a fortune 500 company. Keep up the good work with your vids and your playing. At first I thought you were kind of silly but after a while I started to enjoy your sense of humor more and you play very nicely. Congrats. ed.
I see you’re playing the Red box Vandorens, what flavor is that - cherry or cinnamon?
I’d take either of those flavors lol
I hope it’s cinnamon. The flavor of the cinnamon “blends well with the taste of the cane.”
You did the right thing. You followed your instinct and now own an incredibly good sounding horn.
Congratulations!!
My saxophone teacher is one of ken's best friends and he's setting me up. I'm very excited after seeing this!
eyyy welcome to tenor! From a tenor player you have to try playing Dexter Gordon solos, Stan Getz solos, and even Coleman Hawkins..... and ofc coltrane himself lol but just overall have some fun "for the tenor saxophone is a pathway to many capabilities some consider to be unnatural." -(Emperor Getzatine)
Omg I finally get to transcribe Dexter Gordon! I am so excited
And the classic Coleman Hawkins body and soul. Dude I am so hype thanks for reminding me
@@Saxologic np one of my absolute favs
I have a Ken Beason custom shop bari... dude... you are totally right... the excitement of getting the horn in your hands the first time... I’ve played yani, yamaha, selmer SBA, VI, SBA series 2... Beason’s bari beat them all hands down... going this weekend to see how his tenor matches up against my ‘58 VI tenor...
I CAN envision you will have more than 500k subscribers. You are one of the most entertaining, funniest sax blogger there is in youtube.! More power and subscribers sir!
The Saxorgasms!
Thank you! My brother will get there much sooner than I ever will 😂
Look at this meaty boy - best quote of 2022 already
3,600 is practically a steal! Also you guys are such heroes to me, being a Florida local myself. Much love to y'all
I don’t play sax, I play drums and found you from your brothers page and I’m stoked to have subscribed. Keep up the great content my dude
This is just becoming the nerdiest yet creepiest unboxing yt channel... not complaining
BRO STFU WDYM YOU’RE NOT GOOD HOLY COW BRO THAT WAS INSANE!!!! I had to pause the video and leave my phone when you made that Tenor sing bro. Jeeeeezzzzz. Holy cow I haven’t played in months but that made me want to start it all over again, Thank you Nathan! Wish you good luck on your Tenor Journey.
You have now fallen into Tenor Madness!
LETSSSS “mario kart lick” GOOOOOO!!!
You are so FUN!!! AND and ...and...Oh forget it! Words escape me.
you defiantly deserve over 1mill
You now have the tenor🎷, good for you!
Using the Mario Kart Licc as a censor to “bleep” out the swearing is genius! This video was so so so amazing! 😂
I remember in beginning of 7th grade when I got my tuba for the year, man I played that horn for 3 hours straight, t'was a jupiter JCB-382 with a blessing 18 mouthpiece, the sound wasn't amazing, but I didn't care I loved it, cleaned it up with a cloth, oiled the valves, only three times did I ever have to grease the slides
