i just started playing alto and i took it to a music center and the tech tested and adjusted it for me!! best thing i ever did !!! i bought a brand new Conn and he said the C key wasn't opening right and the octave key wasn't closing correctly and so he adjusted everything--no charge-- and what a difference that made trying to hit the D & E but my question is how do you tune a sax??? should i have one of those electronic tuners?? thanks and have a great weekend newbie john

HINT: Once You Feel Like Your Sax Is Pretty Much Perfectly In Tune, Or Close Enough, You Should Take A Butter Knife Of A Pen And Trace All The Way Around The Cork At The Edge Of The Mouth Peice. It Works For Me And My Friends.

<Added>

From That Point On, Use That Mark As Your Guide As How Far To Push In Your Mouth Peice.

Dont do that.
That will just ruin the cork.
Your tooning is different in diffrent invironments and Changis.
Hot=Sharp, Cold=Flat.

So the best way is to carry a tooner and toon when ever needed.
