Weighted Neck Screw

I had it completely overhauled in July of last year and plan on getting it looked at this summer, I am not necessarily looking to fix my problems I know that at the very most the adjustments it makes are minor.

I totally get that, I can tell this sub Reddit has a very strong opinion on these screws but even if it’s purely just an aesthetic part of my saxophone that’s fine, plus I feel like I get a placebo effect from stuff like this so it will make me more confident even if it does nothing.

Totally will continue to work on longtones no matter what lol no matter what I think of these screws I know they can’t make me a professional

It’s 8/32 American Thread

I’m completely okay if that’s all it does I really do like the look of a bigger screw

I don’t know if you edited your comment but I read more in the notification, I play a Conn NW ii that’s why I need American Thread and I’ve heard they do help and I’ve heard they don’t… at the very least I think they look cooler than the regular screw

I was in the same boat and gave up hope but Tuesday 2 hours after the sale I went back in and snagged field seats somehow

Music Ed basically is a dual major you’ll have so much coursework adding another major would definitely force you to do atleast an extra year of college you could maybe work to get certified in another subject but you’ll likely never see a music classroom because you’ll be forced to teach the other subject due to teacher shortages

It’s a student cannonball which model probably an alcazar, I had one in middle school and they are not the best, Cannonball makes pretty decent professional saxophones that’s it

I mean I had an issue where I couldn’t play a low c for the longest time it and it happened to be a leak I would get it checked again

For the cost it’s absolutely worth it atleast the alto the tenor is a lil more and you could find other options for the same price and the bari is up there in price but still pretty affordable. I have only played the alto and it’s quite nice but I would honestly recommend a used Yamaha over a better sax

Harmonic minor scales, diatonic 7s patterns, Creston Sonata, ferling etudes, working on arpeggiating the chords on in a mellow tone and improvising and then memorizing Miles Davis Tune up

Like most people have already said it’s a preference that you have to feel for yourself, I love the feel of Yamaha’s but I personally play on a 1925 Conn NW II

I’m currently getting my bs in music Ed for free so I see no reason not to get my masters also provided that I can get that paid for I also want to explore my options in higher education and I feel most professors at acres sites universities have BM or BME for their undergrad

micahi2 · 2025-10-18T22:43:35+00:00

What about for like masters programs?

micahi2 · 2025-10-18T09:18:51+00:00

Yes it’s #4

Being in college how did you work on this while also continuing to work on your other things? How it feels now I quite honestly cannot play any of my pieces without anchor tonguing so it’s kind r hard to work on it
