Hello,
I recently acquired a model 156 aristocraft tenor that is terribly out of tune on all of the palm keys and altissimo F# + G. These notes are so flat that if I push in the mouthpiece to compensate for it, the low notes sound crappy because I'm lipping down so much. If I play normally the high E sounds like a high Eb.
I have been playing sax for about 10 years and have never come across this problem before, so I'm certain it is not my embochure.
Oh I even tried cutting down the cork on the neck to increase the mouthpiece chamber size, and letting the cork hang over to decrease the chamber size, no luck.
