As a beginner I am having a lot of trouble and only get anywhere at all if I clamp my lips round the thing like Dracula, with maximum strength; and generally put in serious muscular effort.
Looked at Sanborn videos and his face and neck muscles and veins are standing out like he's on steroids.
So does it follow that playing the saxophone is big time physical? This is a serious question; I'm used to simple whistle flutes which require no effort.
Perhaps what the question is is "Is big time effort what to expect or does it mean somethings wrong?"
