Hello fellow sax playa's! I have a question and am also looking for hints, tips and some advice. I play alto and sop in my band and gigs outside are not usually a problem but in cooler to chilly indoor theatre's I have a bit of a problem keeping the sop in tune after being on the alto for 2-3 songs.
We start the set off with the alto for 2 songs say 10-12 min then right to sop. It is usually flat (even if I tune to slightly sharp) but after a few min with the warm air it tunes up.
We have a big gig coming up opening for an international act at the one theatre where I've had the most trouble in the past.
So any advice or tips I welcome but no flaming please.
Someone even suggested that I put a heating pad under it.
Thanks in advance!!
