  • I was fortunate enough to have a Tubax on loan for a concert and thought it was only right to put it through its paces!
    The piece is Double or Quits from Three Miniatures by Alastair Penman, available for clarinet or saxophone duet.

    The tubax sound is unreal, definitely wasnt expecting that
    Edit: I was watching in 0.75x so it sounded weird but it’s even better normal speed

    You sound very good on the 'nino - no evidence of the intonation problems typically associated with the small horn. What type do you have?

      Thanks! The tubax is an awesome instrument to play and an incredible machine. I'm playing a Yanagisawa Sopranino (SN-981). I do find that it goes sharp once you get above A in the upper octave (where the octave vent changes), so it's hard work to keep the pitch under control. I've found the same issue on every sopranino I've ever played though, and this one is better than most. I think if I played it more I would just get used to the voicing so it wouldn't feel such hard work! I'm glad it comes over as in tune though 🙂

    • @alastairpenman
      @alastairpenman  Před 7 měsíci +1

      It depends what equipment you have available. Ideally you'd use a good microphone connected to an audio interface + computer to capture the sound, then sync it with video from a camera (or even phone cameras are pretty good.) For this video the sound was recorded using an AKG C414 connected to a Focusrite Scarlett interface and then mixed in Logic Pro! (Even much cheaper USB microphones will be a big sound improvement over a phones built in microphone.)

      Hi, it's a Yanagisawa (it's a sopranino, not a soprano). You'll struggle to find much for under £1000 - something like this Windcraft might be your best bet www.dawkes.co.uk/windcraft-wss-200-soprano-sax-saxophone/15902 (For a Sopranino I think the John Packer would be your only option in that price range - www.johnpacker.co.uk/prod/jp146-atom-sopranino-saxophone-eb-in-rose-brass)

      @@therealmcdonalds1 I'm surprised a Serie III with a concept is giving you tuning issues - might be worth taking the sax to a repair tech to check everything is sealing properly. The Soloist and S90 won't significantly alter the tuning compared with a Concept. They shouldn't be much different to a Yamaha mouthpiece intonation wise either though..!
