Not everyone's cup of tea?

I think it is wonderfully played. But I would argue that saxophone or in general acoustic orchestral instruments are not the strength of the V-Accordions.

Nevertheless I myself like to noodle my way through the different registers. It gives me inspiration and sometimes a new / fresh look at already too familiar songs.

And at the same time I learn to appreciate the unbelievable expressiveness and unique character of well played real acoustic instruments. What a great luck for us that these instruments were invented and that some people took their time and effort to master them…..!

A very nice cup of tea imho, thanks! He's got the sounds down and plays lots of them while continuing to be tasty.

Richard Noel sets include a really nice Tenor Sax in his Italian series. It's been tweaked and the sax sounds pretty realistic to me. It works well for a short solo but it becomes a bit overwhelming for an entire song. We all prefer the sound of the accordion, otherwise we might be playing the saxophone.

I was listening again and now think I may have been not in the right mood for listening to that song at my first reply. This time I thought that the sax-combo doesn't sound bad at all. And for sure Mr Beier makes a very “tasteful” use of this particular soundset.

Thanks @Tom for bringing up the matter of ”taste” into this discussion. We all know that these sounds (and neither one which comes out of the speakers of any V-Accordion) are NOT REAL. But can be entertaining and can enrich the arrangement - if used tastefully!

I was surprised to find I like it! Saxophone and organ are some of the better non-accordion sounds on the v-accordion and as Airy says this is a tasteful performance.
