How to Tune the Saxophone

For expertvillage.com this is Mitch Kaplan. In this clip we will be talking about tuning the saxophone. It is important that everybody is in the same boat and sounding the same. So what we want to do is make sure we are all together on the same page. When you tune the saxophone you always start out and then work your way in. You will hear an A440 by this tuner and what you do is you match it with the sound. There is your A440, now I will be very flat, so I need to push in, we will push in a little bit and will see if that makes the difference. It is almost there, I think we can go just a little further and will be perfectly in tune. Now we are a little flat actually, so I will have to pull out a little and there you have a perfectly in tune saxophone.
