 Re: I tried Alto Sax for the 1st time!

I play the low notes with a fairly tight embouchure (to keep the tone under control) but with plenty of breath support - that's the key thing about low notes on saxes, they need plenty of breath support. Practice long low notes at all volume levels.

Don't treat saxes like clarinet in that you tighten your embouchure as you go up - on sax you'll end up going painfully sharp, so keep a steady embouchure across the range.
