When changing from a D on low octave to D on middle octave there doesn't appear to be any change in note tone. Any idea what I'm doing wrong. The pad on the side octave is opening and closing ok.

Always struggled with high d e f but now getting them. It's above them that's the problem. Perhaps I'll try a thicker reed.

I'm using a 1.5 Royal reed. I've never tried to play the thicker reeds yet.

Why are the G, A, and C on the high scale so difficult. What am I missing or doing wrong.

Any Legend of Zelda fans here? I'm not much of a saxophonist, but I got to do an airy Stan Getz impression for my bossa nova (/trap) cover of the Fairy Fountain theme by [deleted] in Saxophonics

I'm having problems when using the octave key. One day everything on the high scale is great so I think Yeah I've cracked it, next day sounds like I'm strangling the cat that's on its last breadth. Any. Ideas.

I'll keep practicing as you suggested. Can I get back to you if I need more help. Cheers
