Just got mine back from a complete overhaul which was expensive, and I did not know how to check everything, so this has been very helpful thank you.

Glad it helpt you :D

Thank you so much, I had to sell my Selmer mark vi tenor, quite painful thing to do but at the time I needed rent money. So, after a few years I’m looking for a new saxophone, this is a big help. Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing the information 😊

[@piotrwrzesniewski2682]

Wow! Just discovered you and after seeing this video and some of the others before, I was like "who's this guy"?! And then on I noticed... you're that guy! Great, a lot of valuable content to catch up ;) Thanks for the job you're doing! :)

Excellent video. If you have a sax where the neck seal is not perfect, as revealed by your wax test, how is that fixed for the long term?

Thanku you so much Flo.... always learn such a lot from your channel. Those pops man (!) wow ... great tip for assessing the horn.... of course it’s so logical!.....my horn does not sound like that 😂

True!

[@danielcohen9637]

How many years did you practice?

[@piotrwrzesniewski2682]

Is it possible to hear you playing somewhere in Amsterdam? I'm here for two more months and it would be nice to use this opportunity : )

[@HelloSaxophone]

Unfortunately all Live music is canceled for now, bt maybe soon :)

[@danielcohen9637]

Which model sax do you play?

[@HelloSaxophone]

These are all Blue Rose Saxophones

[@andynwatkins]

Thank you for these easy tips. I've been struggling with low notes. Now I have a better idea why. I have one question: is there a reason why you should wipe the cork grease off? (apart from the fact that it's greasy?)

[@HelloSaxophone]

yes you don't want that spreading through your horn :) so it's a good easy test, but after it's good to whipe it out again. if you detected a leak, your local tech might be able to fix it for you permanently.
