Hi,
overblowing C# with octave key gives Bb on Alto.
In his book "The Science and Art of Saxophone Teaching", Dr. Ray Smith states that it should be a major sixth on Tenor too, and a semitone below on Bari. He says that some people would add side C (on Tenor), but he wouldn't need that.
When I overblow on Alto (Selmer Reference), it works. But on my Yani Tenor, it is a minor sixth, and I have to add the key to get near a major sixth (gets better from palm D to B).
Is the problem me, or is the big differences in the horn? Or is Dr. Smith wrong?
Cheers, Guenne
