Hi new on hear,
Been learning tenor sax since august, i am having a problem playing the notes with the octave key, (notes do not change to higher octave when key is pressed) as far i can see the sax is in perfect working order no sticking keys, mechanics are working fine and tone holes are clear. that said it was quite a cheap sax. My embochure is obviously not perfect but I am able to play notes in the lower register and assume i should have no problem hitting the higher. I am using a 4c mouthpiece with 1/2-2 strength reed.
I do intend to get lessons, hopefully soon
Any advice much appreciated
Cheers
