Any of you played in MPYO before? They don't have saxes, but they do have clarinets.

If any of you are in Bukit Jalil / Sri Petaling, give me a ring, we can jam.

think end up u giving lessons more than jam session lol

brien1193,zephyros....best we come out to a place more public .. have a drink with those people love sax...with or without...have a guide for them to know wht exactly they need to learn from sax...
then second meetup we come out with our sax .. for a basic jamming...

if those people interested to learn and want to explore more...and this will be further up out next meet up or basic lesson to be learn..

wht you say guys...

set a date and see who's free

I wish i could! But as you said....No saxes. ):
Awww! So far. :/ Gotta wait till i finally get my license. Gahh.. =_=
I really enjoy playing, but the people whom i know don't like jamming on the sax as much as they do with acoustics, basses and drums~

anywhere i can get the instrument mic for my sax?

which mic are you looking for?

any youtube videos of you guys playin sax?

It's hard to get a good mic for less that a lot of money.

I made my own performance clip on mic from a goos quality china condenser, DIY required. So now for performances I have wireless mic system.

Ya i found that Sax instrument mic, wireless atleast is hard to get it here...unless hongkong or china...that the nearest i can order from.
i did ask from a shop in Tmn Melati selling PA system.... they sell it for atleask 2k......ofcourse condenser wireless mic

Greetings to all the sifus!
I'm planning to buy a YAS-275 saxophone soon.
As a beginner, I still dunno much about the purchasing process.
Got a few questions that I would like to ask.
1. When checking/inspecting the new saxophone, what are the things that I should look out for?
2. What type of reed and blowpiece should I choose?

Thanks for the help!

Do you have a teacher? it's hard to test these things by yourself. OF course, paying $$$$ for a Yamaha is supposedly buying peace of mind.

As far as reeds and mouthpiece are concerned, again, your tutor will know best.

Hi all,

I've always wanted to play the Sax since 6 years ago. and I finally got the chance this year. I am getting an Alto this month but I'm still not sure which to choose. My tutor is unable to help me and I'm not sure how do I 'test' when I don't even know how to play a Sax.

Any cheap Alto sax that you can recommend for a beginner?
Reed and mouthpiece can be a hard decision to make too.

noob Q: just wonder why the sax must in gold color and will the color fade away?

there are saxophones in silver-plated too..
perhaps gold-plated looks more attractive?
well, take good care of it and the color normally wont fade..
it's just that black spots might appear out of no where :/

If you wipe down your sax with a polishing cloth like once a week, and be careful not to knock it around, the finish will last decades.

It's like your car paint: how well can you take care of it?

For waxing with lacquer polish, do that once every few months, and never rub too hard.

P.S: I have a silver Yamaha YAS-25 for sale.
