Let the neckstrap take the weight of the horn. It shouldn't move when you open the D key.
wobble when playing palm keys - solution?
Hi
anyone got any suggestions about a problem I'm having?, or do you experience the same difficulty?
- when playing palm keys, especially high D, the sax wobbles with the consequence that tone production suffers, because the mouthpiece moves.
although it is manageable at lower tempi, when playing faster it is harder to keep under control.
I'm considering reducing spring tension on palm keys so I don't have to push as hard, reducing sideways thrust (sax is a Yani A991).
the other option appears to be extended practice of pressing keys lightly at all tempo.
thanks, fred
