I play Alto but purchased a cheap Tenor from a reputable UK company as I wanted to play both. I was having real trouble with anything below G. Wasn't sure if it was me or the sax. Been trying harder reeds, changing emboucher etc with much frustration. I Was about to give up totally when I came across this video. Slight adjustment of said screw and the problem has been solved. Thanks guys, much appreciated. Life changing video :-).

I used to spend loads of money to get my sax tuned up every year as my low keys would just suddenly give up! And I had no idea what is wrong and why!! Every time that happens I would think my sax is broken! Can't believe my sax technician would rob me blind just for 1/4 turn!!! I also attempted to adjust the bell on my own. My sax is not professional Yamaha or some another super expensive one. So I had nothing to loose.... couldn't make it worse as it was... and if I don't manage I would pay a lot by paying a visit to sax technician anyway! And success!! I managed to fix my sax completely by myself!! Truly amazing feeling that is! Feeling empowered =))) Thank you Steve!!! You are an absolute Star!! Bless your heart Steve!!!! From now on my sax technician will be missing me a lot! That's damn sure :DDDD

I had heard of most of those solutions over the years, but never considered the possibility of a bell misalignment. I've been handling my alto by the bell for three years now, unaware that this could lead to misalignment, and I am just beginning to have low-note problems. I hate to think that I have caused the damage myself. Thank you so much for this nice video.

I cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am of this video. Ive been trying to play this thing for years and for the life of me could not play low bd cleanly,if at all.I contemplated giving this up for good. because I coudn't utilize all of the instrument by not being able to play certain notes. So what would be the point in continuing? i tried everything,sometimes twice. I noticed that I had the same wobbly G# issue and made the screw driver adjustments from the video,. After the first few turns,nothing changed.Then I turned it more and noticed that the G# no longer moved.That's when I heard a sound from my instrument that I thought I would never hear. tears were filling my eyes. I could not believe what just happened. Not only will I subscribe,but if you need a organ donor let me know.LOL. This is life changing.

You are a genius! I just bought a gorgeous silver Mark VI…it has two issues…low notes below C and a stuffy sounding front C in the middle register only….I brought it to my tech who had it for 2 weeks…I was told he re-aligned the bell and made a few adjustments, but nothing changed! I was so pissed! So, while searching for how to fix the stuffy front C I found this and tried it…worked like a champ! BOOM! Low note issues solved! Now I still need to figure out he stuffy front C fingering…it’s in tune, just stuffy…very weird…same thing happens with Bb fingered with the B and F keys…

Good morning and Merry Christmas to all in the saxophone world. I usually have a small screwdriver some contact cement and a piece of cork in my saxophone case. Fortunately l have a mechanical background so l know the real value of adjustment screws and material. I have read that many players have said they wouldn't buy a saxophone without the high F sharp key .l agree with them but l would add l wouldn't ever buy a saxophone in the future without adjustment screws on the right and left hand stacks either. Keep up your good work.

I have this problem on my vintage Buescher alto (no screws). My repairman has done what he can short of complete re-pad but still no joy. Yes pushing the mpc in helped (until I got home). He amazed me with one odd demonstration: dropping the mpc cover inside the bell of the sax cured it. No luck with tape.

Sounds like it might be ready for a full overhaul Gareth - that will sort out the venting (key heights) and bring the tuning inline.

Ha! Saved me a premature trip to the repair guy with my tenor. Weird - seems this can happen while the horn s in the case - no drops or trips, this screw just went less than a quarter turn out seemingly spontaneously and I thought I must've been practicing overblowing too much since I couldn't't do anything but blow overtones under low C!
@janedeauxxx
@janedeauxxx 5 лет назад
What does it mean when you play D and it squeaks really high and it feels like it's harder for air to come through? Feels like I'm blowing through a coffee stirrer straw thingy. It's not my embouchure or fingers cause I play C and B just fine
@jordynalice6856

Same problem as me, the it’s really hard for air to come through
@copper473
@copper473 4 года назад
I know i'm definitely a bit late for this, but if you're still having the same problem, it may be a problem with your octave key. So, above your sax's neck, from the octave key there's a small mechanism that goes up or down given if you're playing lower octaves, a middle D, or a high G. unlike the other high notes, D and G actually still have the mechanism stay DOWN rather than up, and the notes'll actually just squeak and be near impossible to get out with the octave key up. So, the most common problem is a loose screw found on the mechanism on the neck that leads it to be off center and thus the pad on the mechanism doesn't stay down and thus air comes out through the top of the neck rather than down to where the pads for each note is. In that case, a quick tightening of the top screw could help, or a repairman can find you a spare screw if needed in order to keep the mechanism in place on your sax. It may also be that the pad on said mechanism could be a bit too flat and thus can't go all the way down for those notes, and if THAT'S the case, you may need to see a repairman to replace the pad. The worst case scenario is just a bent neck on your sax, though, where the mechanism can't reach the neck and thus always stays up. in that case, again, you may need to see a repairman to set your sax's neck back into place. hope this helped out a little, but i'm assuming you may have already solved the problem given it's been a few months

What does Steve Crow mean by, "The bottom Regulation Screw is for the Top B Flat (one on one)" Does this mean it helps make the high notes clear sounding?
@benjaminthurston8284
@benjaminthurston8284 6 лет назад
Hi Steve. Yeah, the problem starts on the middle e and sometimes goes right up to g or a. It is a bit annoying especially when you have to play those notes for a few beats. When you say octave problem, is there some way to diagnose the problem myself? Cheers, Ben

Hi again. Yeah I thought it was to do with the sax, so I ordered a new one to try, just in case, and guess what?...the undertones happened on the new one aswell, so it must be to do with me. If i use a harder reed it helps a bit, but the problem is still there...really strange. Great video by the way, very informative! Ben

That's interesting Ben. Might be a good idea to experiment with how much mouthpiece you are using. Hope you get it sorted.

Hi, just started playing alto sax, just introduced the octive key, had no problems first practice but now I'm struggling to get any sound from high f and e, D is fine?

I've probably found this video a little bit late, but I recently had the cork come off my E key which was throwing off the regulation and rendering F# ineffective. I could still play it with the alt key but found it cumbersome given that I've only just picked the sax up again after 25 years. I've got a piece of cardboard in there as a temporary measure until I can get it to a tech, but since I made this fix my right hand main notes (F, E and particularly D) are stuffy. Once I get to C and below the notes all become clear and quite vibrant again. I'm thinking that the cardboard fix has thrown the regulation out the other way as there is now some play on the F key, but I just wondered if Steve could have insight into this. The problem gets less prominent with a softer reed so it could be me to some degree as well. Would the tape trick be a more reliable option that the cardboard I have in there now?

I play bari sax and when I got to play a low B and C# it actually sounds higher than the low C. Please Help Btw I am using a size 3 1/2 reed, so that might be the problem.

My Armstrong Tenor from the early 90's has this problem but doesn't have the two little screws. If I'm looking in the right place, it just has a short arm reaching across. To get the same result as the screws I imagine I'd have to bend it a wee bit. I'm not very keen to do that. Any suggestions?
