You mean you actually play a recorder? Good god....
From 5th grade through 11th (graduated) I played E-flat alto and/or baritone sax. Latter is a heavy mofo and got to carry that for marching band. I always sucked but still had hope I could get back to sax if I could learn to play well on recorder. And I did stick with it for a while. But if I hadn't learned that I have negative talent from the previous 6 years, on some level I knew that wasn't going to change.
At this point I can only play the C-scale notes (no sharps or flats). But the one and only song I can kick ass on is Jesu. Stil need fucking sheet music though. The musicians will know how sad that is. But even with me playing, it's still lovely. Well, if don't pay attention, I end up playing allegro when, if you listen to the vid, it's supposed to be largo.
Also, one doesn't simply "play" a sax. First you pull the main body from case. Attach the neck, stick a single sided reed in your mouth to soften it. Now pull out the mouthpiece (Selmer - sax is Conn).
Suck moisten the reed a little more. Slip the reed clamp back, insert reed, reassemble. Attach to neck. Get your neck lanyard. Attach to sax. See how it sounds.
We mostly ear-tuned - by moving the mouthpiece up or down on the neck very slightly. For a good quality sax, tuning with one note will bring you the whole scale - properly tuned.
