Any ideas as to what could be wrong?
I got a Tenor a few months ago, its a Kolhert Student model that was made 5-6 years ago. Ever since I got it I've been having issues with it, but since I got it from a good friend and fellow saxplayer I didn't think much of it and figured a trip to my tech would fix it.
The proplems are the F# tends to jump an octave, the middle A-lower D make a warbling sound (sounds like a leak) and the tone in the upper register is very stuffy.
First, I checked it with my own leak light, didn't find a thing so I took it to my repair tech. He couldn't find anything either. I then took it to every shop in the area and none of the techs I talked to had a clue as to what was happening.
Now, I know its the Tenor and not me (like several of the techs suggested) because while they were analizing my Tenor I play-tested Tenors that the stores had in stock and had absolutly no problems with them.
Any ideas as to what could be wrong? Or should I just e-bay the Tenor, cut my losses, and buy a different Tenor?
Thanks.
