Another thought here...be careful as you remove the sax from the case gripping the bell that you don't pull quickly or jerk the sax out of the case. This can easily twist the body and bell out of alignment and cause the low B and Bb pads to not seal the toneholes. We fix at least 3 or 4 of these a week. Some of us like to grip the body of the sax in the area of the neck strap ring without putting pressure on the keys or rods when holding or moving the sax.
