Drawing a line on my Cork to keep the Sax in tune?!? Not a good idea. ….

I have done that to have a general idea of where to place the mp. Of course I still check the tuning to fine tune it.
It only works for one mp. If you u use a different mp all bets are off. Lol. Gotta love this beast called the saxophone.

it’s not a terrible “general” idea. but yes, things like temperature, reeds, mp’s, and even the way you blow from day to day will have an affect.
also, if you’re playing with a certain track or group of people etc you may need to make adjustments. to be honest, I don’t make very many from session to session or playing gig because most situations are right on the “A440” money. so once you have truly zeroed in on where that is you should be ok for most of your playing situations.
