Improving your Saxophone playing by tuning properly When most saxophonists tune up they use a middle G or F-Sharp. The main problem with this is that the middle G or F-Sharp is traditionally very sharp notes... usually 30 cent plus if the embouchure is not adjusted. The young saxophonist will generally not know where these notes are just by playing them alone. When the student pulls the mouthpiece out far enough to make the unaltered F-Sharp or G play in tune then the lower register of the instrument sill most certainly be flat. How to fix this problem: There are two simple things that can be done. One have the saxophonist play the G or F-Sharp in the lower register. These notes are normally much closer to being in tune and will allow the young saxophonist to learn where to play the middle D, D-Sharp, E, F, F-Sharp and G on the alto. To play any of these notes in tune the embouchure must be slightly altered. The second option is to have the alto saxophonist play a first finger ...

Roy Smeck (1900-1994), known as "The Wizard of the Strings," was a master vaudeville and early radio performer. In addition to starring in musical screen shorts, he made over 500 recordings for various companies and wrote instructional/method books and arrangements for the many instruments he played, which included the octachordia (an 8-string lap steel guitar), tenor banjo, 6-string guitar, and the Vita-Uke, which was his own invention. He collaborated with the Harmony Company, which produced "Roy Smeck" ukes, guitars, steel guitars, and Banjos. Smeck's eclectic, unique style came through in his countless performances, early sound films, and original compositions. He was posthumously inducted into the Ukelele Hall of Fame as well as the National Four-String Banjo Hall of Fame.
