Yamaha Sax teachers are really lousy. Dont waste your time there.

smile.gif can anyone recommend a good teacher. I played tenor in the school band 30 years ago and just bought a clarinet to see whether I can remember playing and since its cheap rm700 I would not waste a lot of money. Well its kinda tough... without proper teacher. Difficult to hit high octave. Squeking... low no reed is easy but cannot hit high notes.

Maybe uncle empire can become my sifu

I find it easier to play tenor. Bigger mpiece. Have difficulties transition between low and high octave of my clarinet. Youtube got lots of videos but nothing beats a good sifu.

Someone is selling a used Neptune alto sax for RM800. Is it a good buy.

Just bought the Neptune. Not been played for a year and I notice on of the flat key is stuck. Got to yank the pad to open it. Some pads got sticky sound when opening. Like pulling a cellophane take. A bit only lah. But the pad opens and closes normally. Is this normal.

Can anyone be my situ?
