New Sax REALLY Sharp? Is It Just Me?
I just got a brand new Roy Benson alto saxophone and have been playing for a little while and noticed that I am almost a whole note too sharp. What can I do to fix this? Thanks =]
I'm out so far the mouthpiece is almost falling off =[ Thanks though!
The usual way to tune an Alto is by adjusting the mouth piece. Pull out to go flatter, Push in to go sharper. But, if that's not working for you... there are other things that affect your pitch. Get a tuner and check out all your pitches. Don't just trust your ear. Your mouthpiece shouldn't be so far out that it's about to fall off. My mouth piece usually sits with about an inch of cork left. No more than that. To fix the pitch try:
1) Posture. Sit up straight, bring the sax to you, and adjust the neck strap as needed. Do not move to the sax, bring it to you.
2) Make sure your amisure (mis-spelled) is correct. Don't have lose corners on your mouth. Teeth touch the top of the mouthpiece. Bottom lip over lower teeth. Chip up. Again, bring the sax to you. Don't move for it.
3) Make sure that there are no loose screws on your sax. This can affect pitches. As can loose pads.
Hope this helps! If all else fails, take your sax into your local music store and play it. Ask them what's wrong... they should be able to help! Best of luck and I hope this solves some of your issues. =)
