Following on from a for sale thread I noticed on this forum, I have got an interesting tuning situation.
I recently got a second tenor sax as a back up/alternative to my Borgani. I had been looking for a while and wanted a different sound. I therefore ended up with a Yamaha YTS 62C with a custom G3 neck for a good price in superb condition.
I have had it for 2 weeks now and am well used to it's playing. It stands up well as a good tenor sax with great (for me) ergonomics, full sound, can whisper and roar, all in all a fine instrument.
When it arrived I used my Link STM 7* - which has been worked on, also my Francois Louis Spectruso 8.
Both played well, different sound, different feel, close to perfect intonation up and down the horn with slight adjustments from me.
Next came my EB Tone edge, 7, a classic and a fine piece.
Great full sound tuning seemed good all over the horn except the palm keys.
Here they are a semitone out - sharp c# = D, D = D# etc....
My question is why this may be ? Is it due to the chamber size ? or what ever else could it be ?
On my Borg all the above Mpces play perfectly well with great intonation.... I'm flummoxed
