Second Semester: Week 10

After working on play conditions for clarinet and flute we got saxophones to work on! We received our practice horns. We used these for our exploration and experiments. The first thing our instructor made us do was document how we disassembled it and then put it back together. We documented it because each saxophone is built a little different and needs to be disassembled in the order that works for that particular sax. My classmates and I traded saxophones so that we could see how the different horns needed to be taken apart. We have only started saxophones and next week we get to start padding!
