Hey there guys. Unfortunately, a family member was cleaning the house and accidentally knocked my saxophone over. Everything on the main body seems to be in working order....but the crook, i'm not sure. The crook took the full impact of the knock, and i'm sure it's been misaligned slightly.
When i begin to play, everything sounds fine. After a few seconds however, the squeaks begin. Now, if i physically 'hold' down the actual octave flap tightly over the tone hole, and play with my right hand only, everything is fine - no squeaks.
Please, if anyone has any solutions i'd like to hear them as soon as possible. Is there anyway for me to make the flap tighter on the tone hole? I'd really like to avoid buying a completely new crook, as this particular Sax is on loan (It's an Alto Sax btw).
Thanks for your time
