Great lesson, new to playing Soprano Sax. Yes, it's difficult but I just love the sound the sax can produce. I am retired so I have plenty of time to practice. I also use Roland Aerophone 10 as an additional practice instrument. I'll be seriously interested in purchasing your training course if there is some focus on the Soprano. Just in time KZfaq. I'll get my new Soprano tomorrow. Thank you, Jeremey.

Great video, thanks. I'm going to play with a tuner as I am having big tuning problems on soprano. I was naive to think that being a competent clarinet and tenor player I'd be OK. Big mistake!!

Really great video that you produced. Love your voice and your steady pace of speaking. I am recently struggled with tuning on my saxophone. I have a 1952 Conn 10m and a vintage Berg Larsen in the 60s. The saxophone was really sharp and I tried to pull it out but it didn't really work. I have to bend the note in order to make the notes in tune which I don't think it's natural to do so. I even put on some tape on the cork to make the net fatter so it won't wobble much with the mouthpiece but it wasn't solving. The funny thing is when I play on a Yamaha 32s, the tuning works fine and I don't have to fix my embouchure to bend a note. Do you think some vintage horns have issue with tuning? Thanks man

It may be the mouthpiece; I have seen posts where the players of vintage saxophones pulled the neck out slightly. Let me know what you did in the end. I have had the same problem and am working on it.

I am not able to find Cleartune Tuner App in the App list to download

I keep hearing lately that I should tune moreso with my larynx. Is it one of those things were the truth is a little of both, or is there another mid-step of nuance between here and there? Even as I pose the question, I'm imagining it's something where you should develop control of both by doing each in isolation, and then follow a certain balance once it's actually under command.

Hey man, I live in bali and I have an open plan house, the temperatures here are 20 in the morning but around 30 in the afternoon, (this is in celsius) my room has an air conditioner that turns on from 7 P.M. to 7 A.M. and the temperature in those times are about 17-20, and when the air conditioner is off, the room is about 27 degrees, where do I put my saxophone? With the air conditioner or not?

@glitchgatsby4290 6 ай бұрын

Saw that nobody answered this, and I'm sure you found a solution, but a saxophone should be ok up to 40deg celsius. I would keep it out of the case if there's not a humidity issue, but I imagine there is, so get large boveda humidity packs and make sure your case is as airtight as possible. Make sure your saxophone is well swabbed after each time you play it so there's no remaining moisutre, and put it in the case in the coolest part of your house, out of any sunlight, and you should be fine. You can also put a digital humidistat that connects to your smart phone in the case, and monitor temperature and humidity for further peace of mind. Happy sax'ing
