Hello,
After so many years playing sax, I’ve got a question about a specific mechanism behavior:
Is it normal to have a slightly different timing between G and A with or without octave key? In which proportions.
I can certainly feel a difference, not huge, but it seems that I have to adapt my playing in upper register between G and A with octave key mechanism. It’s not sluggish but slightly slower. I can’t also really know if it’s more sensations in fingers with octave mechanism shocks as I’m pretty sensitive to that kind of things.
I can become a little bit obsessive with that kind of things. It’s on a cheap Gear4music tenor, can’t remember exactly how it was on my ex Yani.
Thanks.
