Q&A #1 – Squeaky Saxophone Reeds…
Today, I’m answering YOUR saxophone questions in the first BetterSax Q&A. I’ll cover:
- how to fix and avoid squeaky saxophone reeds
- playing in the altissimo register
- tips on getting the low notes to come out on your saxophone
- playing the overtones in tune.
Check out the full Q+A video below. Whether you have squeaky saxophone reeds or you’re struggling with overtones… I hope some of your saxophone questions get answered.
If you want more information on any of these topics I have several other posts on Low Notes, Playing in the Altissimo range, and Choosing Between Different Cuts of Reeds.
