Hopefully the correct forum. 1st post, please bear with me.
Hi,
After a bit of an inconclusive search on this forum and online I wondered if I may ask some advice.
My 11 Yr old daughter has recently taken up alto sax but has problems with her left hand which often squeezes slightly against the palm keys obviously ruining the note she is trying to make.
Obviously I'm pointing this out to her and trying to get her to arch her hand a bit more, but that doesn't make for a comfortable playing position and is going to cramp up her hand in no time.
My guess is that the palm keys can be adjusted (in other words - bent!) in towards the body to give her more room. Is this the case? Is it advisable ? How would I do it without breaking something? Is there a better way ?
Kind regards,
Simon R.
