Is that... safe... with the sax!?

Tricking out sax so is venerable. Notice that the pianist has good line of sight and the fire extinguisher in reach.

This is what happens when a woodwind is made of brass. Flutes and piccolos have done sparklers, iirc.

oh man, I love PMJ; their take on songs is always unique and usually fun - this one was actually new to me, so thanks for sharing!

So you want to know about safe sax?

[hudebnik]

Yes, I worry more about flaming bagpipes, which are traditionally made of wood.

Yep, that was my comment as well.

I read the credits. The sax is listed as a Flame-o-phone. :)

[peoriapeoriawhereart]

Wood, skin, and some assorted other parts such as cloth and decorative elements.

As an instrument of war, the fire at least clarifies that point.

Cool.

I'm impressed how the singers could keep their gaze steadily towards the front, and not miss any beats with their dancing, in spite of those flames shooting out behind them.
