Super-Flat Soprano Sax
Hello everyone,
I bought a $500 Selmer student soprano sax. It actually produces a nice full sound but almost all the notes are about 50-60 cents flat. I didn't notice until I tried playing it in big band one day...sick! I'm an experienced clarinetist so I know all about lipping up and that stuff, but even if I play so tight I can barely produce sound it's still about 20 cents flat. Is there anyway a technician can basically make the entire horn play 50-60 cents sharper?
p.s. I am still playing the stock mouthpiece, but I doubt just changing the mouthpiece will bring the pitch up a quarter-step.
