That trick I know. My current problem is the tenor part of "Tartarian Dances" by Elena Roussanova Lucas - the tenor part in the last movement goes down to G. I suspect a careless piece of cutting and pasting, and equally careless proof reading. Thank you Belwin-Mills!
Low A On Tenor keyed to low Bb!!!
I was at my Saturday Jazz band when the conductor asked me to play a song with a lot of ridiculous notes. When I was about 1/4 through the music asked me to play a low A on the tenor, only keyed to low Bb. The conductor told me that I can play a low A without having the need for the Low A key. He told me to play a low Bb but with my knee half closing the bell. IT WORKED !!!
Try it. It really produces a good sound.

I love going for that note, especially while wearing my kilt. The audience's collective inhalation really sucks that low 'A' out of the horn:shock: :twisted:
