Just bought a new Jericho soprano and ordered a Graftonite m/p at the same time, having heard that cheaper saxes usually come with dud accessories. Also borrowed a Selmer Super Session m/p to see the difference.
Using the same reed on each piece I preferred the Graftonite for its variety of tone, capable of soft and breathy, but when I checked the pitch it was very low even with the m/p almost at cork's edge. The other two m/ps were up to pitch. Standing all three on a table I can see the Graftonite is longest, then the Jericho, Selmer is shortest.
I'm pretty certain its not a question of my chops; should I send it back? Any one else had simslar issues?
