Hello!
I've been playing alto sax for almost 6 years now and I've recently switched to play baritone sax in my highschool band (marching, concert, and jazz) about 5 months ago. Ive practiced my alto a few times since then, but not extensively since my sax was being borrowed by someone else during this time.
When I recently picked up my sax, I found myself having intense pitch control issues - especially on my octave d (in the staff). It's always wildly sharp no matter how I adjust my embouchure. It had been a tendency of mine before switching, but now it's worse. Any tips/advice? (Especially as I will be playing bari sax mainly, and want to retain my alto chops for next year when I switch back) Thanks!
