The correct posture when playing the saxophone

The be-all and end-all of playing the saxophone

The most expensive saxophone is of no use if you approach playing with the wrong posture. A firm stance and a straight posture are basic requirements for playing the saxophone well. If you already have problems with the physical handling of a tenor saxophone, the much larger baritone saxophone is certainly the wrong choice for you. Therefore, not only the pitch range when playing the saxophone, but also your own body size are crucial.

Where to put my hands?

The upper keys on the saxophone are operated with the left hand. To do this, place your left thumb on the plate on the back, grasp the sound tube and distribute the other fingers on the corresponding keys . We place the right thumb under the thumb hook and curve the hand so that the fingertips point forward. Which finger of the right hand ultimately operates which flap is determined automatically.

Just let it hang

No matter which saxophone you ultimately choose, it is advisable to use a comfortable and practical strap due to its weight. The belt is correctly adjusted when the mouthpiece is at the same height as the mouth when the body is in a straight position. We have put together a selection of comfortable carrying straps for you in our webshop.
