Hi. I have been playing Alto Sax for five years on this horn, and now I have developed a problem.
When I play a high G, I have a 50/50 chance of the horn squeaking really bad. it happens mostly when I am trying to play softly, and it has really become a pain.
Also, the lower register notes (starting around low F) are difficult to play, with D and below almost impossible. I have tried playing on a friend's horn with my mouthpiece with no problems, so it's gotta be my horn.
I play on a Yamaha Student sax(I can get the model if needed). My sister, a flutist, took a look at it and noticed that the screw holding the left palm keys was really loose. Could that be the problem, or are these issues the doings of a leak or some other problem with my horn. I appreciate any help I can get.
