Very disappointed in my curved soprano….Firstly I must state that I’m a Baritone/Tenor player never owned a soprano but bought it(after being influenced by this forum)...Blah..blah..blah...of low octave E, F, (F sharp O.K) and G…..absolutely unplayable..
: ...its gurgle & grunt using the embrochure employed for the rest of the sax, only way I can get these notes is to go Sub-tone and then readjust once I get out that area, the octave of these notes is fine, no problem. I’ve given it a couple of hours of practice and I’m heartbroken…only thing I can think of is mouthpiece but have no alternative to compare…anyone any ideas…???
