Hi,

I am knew to this website. Some great advice here this should help alot. I have a Jupiter Soprano BB DLX 547GL sax. Just wondering if any has any comments about this sax. I bought it at Steve's and it sounds really great. However, I must admit that high register C, B, and up sound a little pitchy. I am playing with a D mouth piece but find that these notes are even more pitchy than my C** mouth piece.

One last question - I find notes in the upper register more tolerable when played with other instruments but rather irritating without music.

Any advice would be great. General comment that I been playing for a year and it has changed my life - I could have never imagined how fast I would improve and how relaxing it is!

Thanks

Hi Fidrat, you're probably doing just fine. The soprano is not easy to control, particularly the tone quality and the intonation in the upper register. I'll bet a lot of your problems will just go away with time, assuming you are using normal, proper technique.

Thanks Gary,

I am taking private lessons and he is big on technique so I hope that you are correct. Thanks for the input.
