Hello everybody. Im 14 and new to the alto and this site. Some times when I play my sax, after a while it starts making this rattling sound. I guess you can call it a gurgling sound. My theory is that spit accomulates in the bottom curve and bubbles? It ruins the sound.Any other suggestions. Ta

i knw this will sound gross, btu jsut set your mouth adn suk the spit out!

It is too far down and it tastes like wood from the reed. And some other dude used it so im not keen...thanx for the offer though..

the take the neck off, flip it over, and shake!

Get a silk swab to swab it out.

If you play for a long time it will sound "Gurgly"

Yeah,

Have fun!

It's Probably The Spit In Your Mouth Peice. If Your In The Middle Of A Concert, The Only Choice Is To Suck It Out, But If Your Practicing, You Could Just Drain It.

Thanx alot guys!! Im sure it is the spit. Is 30 minutes long enough to accomulate?
and i took the mouse piece and i blew and it did make the gurgling sound so now iknow where its coming from. Thanks again for the adivice!!

Normally when that happens to me, I just suck the spit out of the mouthpiece and clean the instument out with a cleaning-cloth-thing when I'm done playing... It might be a loose key, screw, etc... Either way, you might want to have it looked at.
