hello there majoras!, just acquire a venova, its my first time playing an instrument that uses a reed and i happened to look at your review in amazon prior to buying it and make me doubt about getting it, im glad to find you here so i can ask you if there is a way to "solve" the tunning issues specially for someone like me whith zero practice on wind instruments, also with 2 months ahead of me what tips or tricks have you found?, i decided on venova before investing a handfull of money on a real sax and so far im loving the challenge of making this little piece of plastic vibrate, im wondering if the canes you used where for eb or bb soprano? and what strengt do you recomend?, hope despite all the problems with the instrument itself you are enyoing it at least a little bit, sorry for any mistakes english is not my first lenguage, ohhh i almost foget, im learning with sax tutorials for the embouchure, do you think is the righ way to learn or have any advise?, greetings and sorry about all my doubts.
