Hi. I am using a bari sax that has a serious problem. It can't reach a note lower than G. If had it fixed but nothing helps.. Should i try getting it fixed again or get rid of it? Its a Bundy i believe, the brand name is very scratched up..

Well to tell you the truth i dont know, scratch my previous comment. But do what triforce says, ask around, and keep your chin up!

It needs servicing, to get rid of the leaks.
Ask around - teachers and good players - where they get their saaxes serviced in your area.

I had that happened once that brand might be one of the cheaper brands it depends on how much you paid for it because I talk to my band intructer and he said that cheaper brands are hard to like play the lower notes and I switch to a different brand and now I can play anything.

And instructors are not always correct in what they say.
It is easy to play low notes even on cheap brands, providing the instrumnet is properly serviced so that there are no significant leaks.
I have worked on 79 brands at last count, most of themn "cheap". And when I play test them after servicing, I, as an amateur player, have no problem playing the low notes.
However it is true that there are some brands where the value of the instrument after servicing is actually less than what the servicing would cost to make them play well and reliably.
That is one reason why many technicians refuse to work on cheap (usually Chinese) brands.
