Default Re: Saxophone hints and tips

I watched some YouTube about putting the thing together. I have a tuning app for my android tablet, so I used that to position the mouthpiece on the cork. I can occasionally play the C major scale (E flat really in concert pitch) over 2 octaves without it farting or sqeaking.

I have a pull-through that came with it that I've used both times I've practiced. I've ordered some of those bottle brush things now too.

I don't want to develop bad habits with my embouchure but I'm also tempted to learn a few sharps and flats before finding a teacher - I think I'll give it a couple of weeks by myself first.
