last night i played on another tenor saxophone, a selmer sa80 III, and it was much easier to hum and blow the tones . Even the Bb3 worked.
I don’t want to blame my Jupiter Tenor and praise Selmer for being responsible for that. Maybe on a cheap chinese horn i could even do better. I only want to say that a hardware change could sometimes manage it.

I looked into your growling demo. Very nice. Maybe i didn’t catch all, what you said there, but you didn’t tell something about changing the hum pitch. Maybe its not needed. 😛

Do you change the pitch of the humming when you play different notes?
I can’t create a growling on Bb3. Maybe i should tray to hum with a different pitch.

” But for the most part you will find most rock bands will have a tenor.”

Yes, i am aware of that. I played the tenor for several years, but always didn’t like my air support on the tenor. So last year i switched to Alto.
Is there a chance that you will eventually play once again in Germany? When i was a young man in the early sixties i often heard british Rock bands in Hamburg. They mostly came from Liverpool and played songs of Little Richard or Chuck Berry. These bands often had a horn player with them. Some years later all horn players were abandoned.
