Ok, so I have a TJ classic - black nickel plated with solid silver crook and it's about 4 years old.
I had sax lessons for about five years and then my teacher sadly passed away and I stopped taking lessons round about 2 years ago. Since then I've played casually on and off when I felt like it - obviously not as intensively as when I had lessons.
My problem is that I picked it up this week wanting to have a nice relaxing play and I couldn't play a D (all fingers and the octave key) without it making a horrendous high pitched sound. I thought it might be that it was my first time playing with a brace on so I persevered and with a LOT of effort controlling my air flow (I'm talking a lot more than should be necessary) I kind of got rid of it.
then yesterday my sax was on my stand and my mum moved it while she was vacuuming and when I came to play today no notes come out right - all are about one octave higher but also slightly squeaky and I can't go up or down an octave from there no matter what I try..... HELP PLEASE!!!! 😀
