My new Alto sax…

Art, do you mean leave the pads in or take them out? Can't imagine taking pads off a sax when you're not using it!

Anyway, congrats on the new horn, sounds like you're well on your way to having everything you need to get your sound to the next level.

Hey, Johnny…sorry, I didn't mean the key "pads" – I meant the absorbant pads that you insert to soak up the moisture after you've finished playing and have cleaned it…
I'm learning…with all the rain that we've been getting here I have lots of time to practice! Most notes now come without thinking but growling is still outta reach!!
My wife says I'm too nice a guy to growl!!! Haha!

OK Art thanks… Mr nice guy or not, growing is necessary sometimes!
there is a growing lesson video in the section here:
