Been recording myself with a pocket digital camera since I started playing. This is one of my better efforts (though not in terms of video quality).

It's from a Guest Spot playalong book/disc that came with my sax.

Would be nice to hear a clip or two of some more of you folks!

Hi Martin, how's it coming along?

As I said in my email, I'm working on the vibrato as per your advice in another thread. Seems like it's going to take a while. It's a much smaller movement reuired with the jaw than I was expecting, at least with my set-up (Yamaha 4c + Rico Royal 2.5)).

Yes, I found the same with my 4c when I tried it 20 years ago. I think the same is true of all mouthpieces actually, it's just that larger facings probably allow more variation in pitch fluctuation.
