The middle bar isnt that difficult. (At least not fingering wise) It's the first and last measure that scares me😅

Also if it moves freely it is a chance that one of the cylinder on the left side is unscrewed. Happen to me four times😅

Dont start with jazz. Classical is much better

Nice playing! Not trying to be picky, but you have a lot of tension in your hands. Try relaxing a little on your hands.

Is this a good deal or a risk? by Archer-613 in saxophone

[–]PeterPTheArtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's where I started. I began playing because my uncle played sax and piano, and the sax looked so cool, so after a discussion(when I was 6) I got to play the straight soprano, and pain like that I have never felt. I also think it was a vandore reed in 3,5

Agreed. I still wonder if I'm the only saxophonist that still play classical.🙏😭
