Giving the sax a bath
I was talking to a player at a bar the other night, and he told me that before each gig he fills the bath with warm water and gives his sax a quick dunking. I've never heard of anyone doing this, has anyone tried this or knows someone who has?
The guy reckoned it made the sax play a lot nicer, easier down the bottom end and with a nicer tone. I thought it would be seriously bad for the pads to immerse them in water but he said he's been doing it for about 5 years and hasn't had any issues. I'd like to know some other people's thoughts on this matter!
