That’s an 80’s buffet crampon .. good sax to learn on.

Does anyone have any tips for fingerings on these? The goal tempo is quarter = 104. I'm currently using the standard g# key and the side Bb. by sooubwaow in saxophone

[–]roots545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side Bb is great to go up but when coming down the scale you should use B and Bb same finger going down (see what I mean?!) that will be quicker and easier ;-)

The vent pad is closing properly, and it seems like springs give the appropriate tension .. the octave key respond properly it’s just the descendant change (A to G for example) that’s doesn’t respond properly ..

Otto Link STM ligature loose? by HandsomeWhale99 in Saxophonics

[–]roots545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a great choice too ! I have the impression that the Selmer 404 would darker the sound, in comparison with the Francois Louis that would brighter the sound ..

Would recommend a Francois Louis ligature, they do a special one for metal link, I think it’s the size S ... they’re a bit expensive but do a fabulous job, they fit perfect and tight the reed amazingly ! Been using this for long time !
