Why an alto saxophone is hard to blow through it?

Answer 1

It is not hard to blow into, in terms of how hard to blow into the Saxophone, but it is hard to produce a good tone on any saxophone (more so the Soprano Saxophone). Some people get it quickly some don't, the only cure is practise, practise, practise...

Answer 2

you may have something in the horn, or the valves are in wrong. clean the Trumpet, and check the valves, and if that doesn't work go to a professional

Answer 3

well its not hard to blow if you are holding your head right or if you have to stiff of a reed.

Answer 4

You probably aren't covering the bottom three holes completely. Try playing in a mirror and look at those fingers.

Answer 5

Yes, but when you learn how to use the reed properly on the mouthpiece it's easy.

Answer 6

You don't have to blow all that hard.
