Perhaps it would do you good to take a saxophone lesson so you are pointed in the right direction. A teacher should be able to spot things and fix them right away, and maybe even fix/improve how you are generally playing the instrument.

We can all try to "guess" at what the problem is.....but you'd be wiser to spend the $$ and take a lesson.....
