Re: Low notes on Tenor
I also find the lower notes (E4-Bb3) to get right 100% It was completely hit and miss last week, but since then I figured that if I try to say "awww" and drop my chin a bit, whilst mainting embouchure so the notes will be in tune, it helps getting them right down to C4, but not always correct for lower than that.
If I take a bit more mouthpiece in then I'm hitting the right 8ve on the lower notes 100%
But, is this the correct way to play?
You people have said that it is imperative that I get things right from the beggining.
I had similar problems with the 2nd 8ve, simple pressing the 8ve key did not always work, but tightening up my embouchure helped getting the right notes always (also works getting 2nd 8ve right hand notes without using the 8ve key, in tune as well!)
