trouble with new sax

[kdemmery]

:( ive just bought myself a new sax after 15 years, champion Tennor is the one ive had, its been allright never get the sound i want but as im not an experienced sax player didnt know much about it. After listening the yamaha YST25 I think sounded good. I just want to know about the new LA SAX that I have just bought It seems so strange to play at first a little practice made it a bit easier but all the top keys seem in a different place I can see that a new sax will take some getting used to, the other problem is the octave key dont know if is because i have a high F# now can u help

Help in what way. Its sounds like you stated an opinion, not a question.

You have to help us here Keran.

Sounds like ... you had/have a Champion tenor sax. You listened to a Yamaha 25 but bought an LA SAX tenor.

And you have having a problem with the placement of the left hand pearls? That only takes a little getting used to.

As for your new high F# key, which is for the right hand, you'll know it when you need it.
CLUE: If you need to get a half step higher than a high F, then hit that additional button under your right hand.

Hope that helps. :lol:
