My new sax partner (Part 2)

(Part one is here)

For those of you still with me.. Here are the details.

Playing low notes are a bit hard. They do offer a low note enhancer that ships with the kit.

Please note this is for the saxophone.

Here is the support for the bell.

It does not hold the neck of my sax very well. In order to get the support in without hitting my keys, I had to put it where only one row of the pegs are inserted. This doesn’t provide much stability, but does work.

The bell support reaches in and pushes the low B key open. That makes for some interesting sounding notes.

Now the whole sax seems to need be shifter higher than the case was designed for because of the shape of the neck.

This creates another issue. The padding from the top will actually catch the octave key, and hold it open.

There is one last issue with it.

Looking at the picture above, the side keys are slightly higher than the hand hole allows access to. This means that some fingerings will not be accessible through the sax partner with this particular sax.

From what I could tell, it does muffle the sound to acceptable levels. However, the issue is how well my particular saxophone fits in it. Looks like it’s going back. How sad.
