Stereotype of Saxophonists is shown by TwoSet: closing eyes while swinging, bending their backs like Ray LOL

[maxking]

Emma is such a sweetheart, she kept telling them they did great even when they messed up

[adc]

Phoebe randomly crashing the video and repeatedly roasting them was the best!

[salems.bytche]

“Why is eddy so loud?”
Dude, tenors are either really quiet, or REALLY FREAKING LOUD. I swear there is no in between

[witchymyg]

eddy: oh dude, it's massive!
editor-san: he's talking about the saxophone

[tireduwu]

Lol Emma's so sweet trying not to hurt them while Phoebe was like nah bad is bad.

[anneliesew]

If you ask me, I think Eddy would probably play tenor sax if he were to play a wind instrument. As for Brett, he seems to have oboe energy

Classical Saxophonist here 🙋‍♀️I was a little shell shocked when Emma started the video with the Glazunov Concerto teaser. Took me 4 years to learn that piece.

My whole life has been "Oh you play saxophone?! I LOVE saxophone! Jazz music is my favorite!!!!" And watching their expression turn to disappointment as I say "....Actually I play classical." 🤡

Great sax lesson, Emma. I felt seen. 🥲

[firlywu]

I think there's no more noise pollution, but it's much better than the last time they played. At least the sound is not like a dying whale lol

[will]

Phoebe roast, man:
"Student can't sound that bad"
"I think you're being too nice, they sounded terrible"
You guys should get her for some show/drama roast-- review

Eddy, who thinks the tenor sax is huge, finally trying a baritone one day: 👁️👄👁️

[JosephSolomonofficial]

I'm just impressed Emma was able to play without laughing. I could not stop laughing the whole video! But don't worry, as a saxophone player of 5 years I still remember trying to just make a sound

[lemonduckz]

Fellow sax player here, I’ve been playing for 5 years now and I’m still finding ways to improve, making the sax super interesting for me because there’s still so much to learn~

[frizzy]

I'm actually happy Eddy isn't playing the baritone sax, but the tenor. The amount of air he would need to hit the low notes might cause him to be dizzy.

[eriknewland]

Emma: "use half a thumb as reference"
Eddie: (shoves entire mouthpiece down his throat)

[shirlyjosna]

Phoebe: why is Eddy so loud
Eddy: idk this tenor is soo....

Welcome to another episode of eddy blaming instruments

[Kati]

Eddy: TOOT
Brett: TOOT
Eddy: TOOT
Brett: toot

Editor-san: lost ships at sea

Me: Losing it

[yorboii]

For a fellow tenor sax player… DAMN.
It’s really hard to learn saxophone and it takes a lot of hard work. Also the trainers playing is just DAMN. Good job 👍🏽

[AddictedToKH]

As a clarinetist (once upon a time), Brett's embouchure is actually pretty good! I immediately noticed Eddy making the classic mistake of puffing out the cheeks while blowing; this actually wastes a lot of air and effort. Learning to control that is one of the first big hurdles imo! Well done Brett!

[SneakySolidSnake]

if eddy twisted the mouthpiece clockwise a little, he'd probably play like a natural. he's blowing in it crooked and still getting a decent sound around the end. brett just seems to be panicking. he makes a mistake, panicks, makes it worse, panicks, and soon there's only squeeks and silence. 40 hours of practice should fix that right up.
