Looking to Plus Up an Old Tenor Sax - Lemmy.world
lemmy.world
I’ve got a, possibly 70’s-era, Bundy by Selmer. It’s been great to start learning on again, but I’d like to jazz it up a bit. I had it set up 10 or 11 months ago with all new pads and corks and etc. It still is nearly a half-step off on many notes, so I’m wondering if there’s a different neck and/or mouthpiece or reeds I could buy (maybe not $400 for a mouthpiece, but something) to help with the tones being off. Or, iffn anyone knows if good exercises to correct the bad tones. (I’m 100% willing to accept user error on the bad tonality.) Thanks all. I appreciate you.

I’ve tried x-posting the linked URL to the lemm.ee saxophone community via both Jerboa app on Android and via the web. But, both methods fail and I’m wondering why. I read through some of the posts here and the original FAQ post, so I’m wondering am I unable to x-post because accounts aren’t migrated between the two instances? And, would that mean I’d need to create a lemm.ee account? Is there another way than that?

Thanks, all.

    Bummer, you’re getting the same as I am.

    Thanks for checking!

    I don’t suppose you know how to contact other users? Like, to reach out to the mod.

    Thank again!

      You can check the moderators on the sidebar. It appears @saxtalk@lemm.ee is the sole moderator. You could dm them. Looking more closely I see they’re the only one who’s posted to that community. It’s possible they have it set that only moderators can post there. Potentially by accident.

      Edit: sent them a message asking.
