    Kind of a weird, blue-sky question here... I have a Yamaha Custom Z alto. Over the many years that I've had it, my arthritis has gotten worse... and especially in my left thumb. My question is: Could the octave key be re-configured so the paddle is welded to the LEFT side of the rod, instead...

    I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post for technique advise, I apologize if it isn't. Lately I've been working on developing speed on my saxophone in the middle register, which has always tripped me up for some reason, and now I think it's due to my thumb. When I switch octave I...

    After even a short amount of practice, my right thumb really hurts! I've gone to clarinet from sax so that i can teach it to the younger kids that can't hold the sax - but first i've got to learn how to play the thing. Not too much difficulty so far, i've even started to go over the break...

  7. Sax Lifestyle & Sax Related Health Problems
    I have been playing alto saxophone for a year now (just started marching band in may) so I feel I should be used to the pain by now. I'm not. For the last couple weeks I have been feeling unbearable pain in my right hand, wrist, and thumb to where I have to sneak my hand off the sax. To add to...
