Check the opening of the G key. It should open as much as the A and the F sharp. This is a common problem. Yes, a Saxgourmet neck will make your VI sound better and improve intonation and quicken response.

Subject: [SaxophoneRepair] Mark 6 G2

Hello,

I have a 1970 Mark VI (new to me) with a G that just doesn't ..well, it doesn't sing. It's not as strong and clear as the G# of the F#- just sounds a little restricted, like it's heart is not fully in that octave, and given a choice it might rather be an octave lower. Is that a good explanation? It's not terrible, just something I notice. I'm wondering if that is a normal Mark VI thing, or if there is some other explanation. Pads are sealing well, octave pips are clean and clear. Maybe it's just an anomaly, one of those things a nice saxgourmet neck might help with. Anyway, could also be me getting used to it still also.
But I was curious if there were any common complaints about this note.
thanks!

Yes.  I have a True Tone Bass and have struggled with this too.  Join the Bass
Sax Coop, there is always good advice on the site.

What I have experienced is that your mouthpiece will play a HUGE part in the
intonation on Bass.  Is your upper register sharp?  True Tone Basses need a
large chamber mouthpiece.  However, too large of a mouthpiece can also cause
problems as well.  You may need to experiment with several different
mouthpieces, try a bari mouthpiece to see if it improves or gets worse.

Paul Coats can explain the physics behind this much better than I can.  Paul are
you out there?

Sorry for the second comment, but I wanted to point out that G is right at the point where it is at the limit of the lower octave vent; going to A will defer to the upper octave vent. As a result, this G tends to be an acoustically weak note. My former post referred to making sure that the openings (right hand stack) are correct. On an alto, the F# will be set within a range of about 7 - 8 mm's (the rest of the key heights are then calibrated off this reference). - Lars Kirmser

I went to the UPS distribution center after receving a string of crushed boxes.
They are brick stacking packages as high as they can. And now that they take up
to 150 lb packages, small boxes get crushed. I was told shippers need to make
sure the inside of the box is crammed tightly full to help support anything set
on top of it. I was also told the last box was the shippers fault for putting
somehing in just a few newspapers in a good cardboard box. After that
conversation, I doubt any instrument not in a case and FULLY surrounded by foam
or peanuts or tightly wadded newspapers will be covered. Be sure to use a full
stated value with some paperwork to verify the value of the contents

My first thought is that the low D# (Eb) and the low C keys may not be opening enough. (The openings should be in the 8 - 10mm range).

Assuming everything is tight, that is, not leaking, and there is no other issue like neck fit, G# pad cracking open etc., then suspecting the spring tension/finger pressure of the customer is appropriate. With the customer present I would close the low B pad with a piece of cork or whatever and see if that takes care of the motorboating when they play. If that doesn't stop the warble it would be hard to blame spring tension / too-light-a touch with the low B key. (And, of course, the G# spatula spring is part of that too and may need to be eased.)

A small percentage of my sax customers do cultivate an unusually light finger touch, and I see little pattern regarding hand size, presumed strength etc. However, novices of any age do have more issues with hitting other keys accidentally when going for the low notes, what with all those keys to close.

I'd keep poking around. There is a solution...or at least a resolution.

A customer has brought back the alto, which I have just serviced, saying she cannot reach low B without it motorboating. When I play it there is not a problem. I've re-checked the horn for leaks but it is fine. She says the low B key is difficult to press, but again I don't have any problems with this though I have slackened the spring tension. It would appear that females do not have the pinkie strength that us males have! Any suggestions. ...clean please!!

I would not state it is a male vs. female issues (sure you probably did not mean it that way.). It is probably more of a hand size issue. I have two of my kids who play sax, and my wife also plays sax. We all play very good horns (L.A. Sax 750s mainly, but others as well). I have noticed that for my 11 year old, it is hard for him to use his pinky to hold down the low B-flat key, similar issue. However, he is growing fast, and I doubt that he will have the same problem as he gets bigger. I have heard of extensions for some keys. I am sure Steve Goodson may be of help there. I know Oleg offers things similar to that, but not sure what their exact products are, as I personally am not a huge fan of Oleg (over-priced in my opinion for what you get in terms of quality.) Others are free to disagree.

My guess is that the difference in the 2 mouthpieces or mouthpiece placement on the neck will account for the difference (playing for you; not for her). - Lars

Just got my computer back from the Geek Squad………..I’ve been limping along on my old Dell since last Monday………if you sent anything and did not get a reply, please re-send.

BTW, Geek Squad is a wonderful service……reasonable in price and quite professional…….the manager at our store told me they service 400 computers in a typical week at the store we use……..do the math…..$$$$$$$$$

I would like to know the source and author of this article and something about Scribd. Feel free to drop me a direct note through the site. Whoever wrote the article should be thanked for clearing up about the Yama-Vito models and dates. I liked the Y-V I had before my first Conn. It played fine after I had a couple of missing parts replaced with Yamaha ones, and it looked special with the pinkish/copper tint lacquer.
