Saxophone Tone Hole Crescents

A tone hole crescent is a way to lower the pitch of a particularly sharp note on your saxophone.

Thank you for reminding me of this concept which I almost forgot, but it's totally workable.

You bet Eduard! Thanks for leaving a comment!

Bom dia, adorei o video, poderia me ensinar qual orifício deve ser ajustado?

[@dannyboylan2342]

Hey Paulinho...I think you are asking which hole to adjust? It depends on which note on your sax is specifically sharp...

@@dannyboylan2342 Olá, entendo, no caso no meu sax tenho algumas notas agudas e outras abafadas, além de ter algumas notas muito desafinadas, isso daria para corrigir? Usando o google tradutor Hello, I understand, in my sax I have some high notes and some muffled notes, in addition to having some very out of tune notes, would that be able to correct it?

[@dannyboylan2342]

Well you only want to use this technique with notes are are very sharp... This technique can only LOWER the pitch. And I wouldn't use it with notes that are just sightly sharp that you can bring down with your embouchure. Also, you don't want to use this method if, for example, your middle F is very sharp, but your low F is flat, because it might fix the middle F, but it will make your low F even flatter!

@@dannyboylan2342 Vou precisar achar mais material para aprender e estudar, estou começando aqui no Brasil em fazer consertos de instrumentos e sopro, e não temos profissionais que ensina ou saiba sobre esse assunto, teria algum estudo para me orientar

@@dannyboylan2342 Vi um material na internet que fala sobre medir do bocal do saxofone até a parte de cima do orifício ou nota que quer afinar com um barbante mais eu não consegui entender muito bem
