Muted middle D

[UU Pfister]

Hi Jeff I do have the same problem with my Alto, but it’s the lower d. I hardly get a sound. Maybe it’s a leak.

The middle D can be slightly different than all the other notes cause it’s the first note of the register break… takes some practice because there is more accuracey needed as there are more fingers coming down all at once for that note.
not the same issue for the lower D, I suspect this is more of a saxophone problem.

I’ve just tried the C# table key addition to the middle D and D# notes on my Alto, and it works great there too!

My muted D problem is solved (at least until my embouchure improves to the point when I no longer require the additional key!)
