Want a Warm, Smoky Sax Tone? Subtone Is the Key

🎷 Want a warm, airy, clean subtone that melts into the music? Most sax players try subtone… but end up with a thin, unfocused, airy mess. In this video I break down exactly how to control your subtone, the mistakes holding you back, and the exercises I used to master it. Here’s what you’ll learn: ✅ How subtone REALLY works — Jaw relaxation — Controlled air support — Why your full tone must be solid before softening it ✅ The biggest subtone mistakes • Too little air • Dropping the jaw too much • Trying to “airy-up” the tone without foundation • No difference between subtone & full tone ✅ My exact subtone practice routine I show you how I practiced it, how I shaped the jaw movement, and how to transition from a robust, full sound → to a warm, sensual subtone. 🎶 I also play “Body and Soul” twice: 1. Once with full tone (powerful, round, crunchy) 2. Once with subtone (warm, smoky, intimate) Every sax player should master subtone — it’s one of the most expressive tools we have.
