<< Let's hear it for the self-taught sax players! Having never taken a sax
lesson, I don't know too much. I have, however, had more paying gigs on
sax, and that will probably continue. The only signifigant problem I've had
on sax has been getting the lower register to sound. I can hit the low D
consistently, but no lower. Can any self-taught (or even professional!) sax
players give me a hand?
I play alto if it makes a difference.
Thanks.

Sounds as if the pads on the low Eb and low C# keys are leaking. Have them
checked for dirt and wear.
Good Luck,
Alvin Swiney
