  • @bertrand403 umm. i think he means it dirty instead lol

  • VAStudioz is extremely correct on breathing, to get what (he?) is saying.

    try to find a book titled Sound and Sense.Follow this its a lot of work but

    its worth it.

  • @MrAlfredocolon Oh, sorry. I didn't know. But your most deffinetly right.

  • @TheEar45 i know the sound comes out of the holes. i been playing sax for 6 years. but the sound is really created in your mouthpiece,breath and embouchure

  • @MrAlfredocolon HA! Try playing saxophone and you'll see why!

  • @IronPump89 Is your octave key wind pipe no being covered completely? Because I've had that problem once.

  • Contrabass sax is huge

    The alto is a step bigger than the soprano though.

  • hallo I am totally new to alto saxophone: I have this PROBLEM: when I want to play "Bb" at the "1-2 - Bb-low key" position, I get the same sound like the "A" note at the "1-2" position... Its like the pinky pressing the low Bb key doenst change the pitch as it should :( help anyone?

  • u gonna really have to blow to get down there ;)

  • If you're breathing through your lungs only good luck. Breath with your diphram and you will get much more air. Three step breath, diaphram(lower abdomen) pulls air into the bottom of your lungs, lungs(middle ab.) and then raise your shoulders a bit and fill the top. With practice you can exhale for a minute or more. You can practice this breathing anywhere, anytime. To practice exhaling, purse lips into a whistle and blow out just enough to almost whistle. Pull back if your making a whistle.
