Hi all,
I have been playing alto Sax for about 1.5 years now. I have a student model sax from Tenon called as Chateau. I have a problem , the tone from my sax sounds like a harmonica or a piano and doesn't sound like alto sax.
1. Could it be a problem with the sax?
2. Are could it be that I am not using right combination of mouthpiece/reed. Currently I am using yamaha 4c and vandoren 2.5 reeds.
3 Or last but not the least could it be a problem with my emboucher that I am not able to get "Sax like" sound out of the intrument?
Can anyone please throw some light what could have gone wrong because I want to correct it in the initial phase itself.
I have posted a sample piece here please give your suggestions on how to change the tone of the instrument...
