If you want to make deeper heavier throaty low note sounds

[sxpoet]

Try this out,

when you attach the neck to the saxophone, instead of putting the neck in the position like you normally should do when attaching it to the saxophone.

pull the neck out half an inch or half way out, then tighten the neck screw.
The notes will still be in tune, but sound more heavy.

Hi James. Wither goest thou? 🙂

Says Google, Pulling the mouthpiece out on the neck will make the shorter notes like A and above less sharp (flatter) more quickly than it will lower the notes G and below. The end result is a balancing of the shorter and longer notes on the saxophone.

Sharp high notes

[Jeff]

Has anyone noticed how the low D# on altos is quite a bit flatter than the rest of the note range?
I checked both my YAS26 and YAS62 altos and they both show this symptom on the tuner.
I can’t compensate sufficiently to bring the note in tune.
