Good morning from Jackson Hole everyone. I am very much a beginner sax player and play a vintage C.G. Conn alto and I have a question concerning the octave key. When I depress the key, I don't actually hear a difference in the tone of the note.
I am not experienced enough to explain what I see when I depress the octave key, but when I play a 'G' note, a different pad opens instead of the one on the crook of the neck.
I hope this makes sense. I do, however, hear a higher pitch when I play a 'B' or 'C' with the octave key engaged.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Danny
