I've been meaning to post this question. I've googled "key lift saxophone" but not really getting any results. I have intonation issues on certain notes on my SA5,
So, if I get my key lift adjusted, it's possible to fix these intonation issues? I think the Middle D and E are most critical for me, I can adjust the intonation by adjusting my embouchure (I think overtones & mouthpiece exercises help), however the D and E are just very sharp, no matter how much I try to bring it in tune.
Thanks!

- low Bb is quite sharp (5-10 cents)
- Middle D, E are very sharp (10-15 cents)
- High C plays flat, but with effort to adjust my throat, it's possible to get it right.
