Hi!
This is my first post here on The Woodwind Forum. Some time ago I read a review by SuperAction80 about his Serie I Tenor. I have a horn of the same mark and model, and since I've had a similar experience that he describes, i.e. a fairly subdued tone, I thought I should try out his solution: a new neck (Serie III). So I bought one myself, and it really changed the horn for the better. Much better! The new neck gave more power and projection, and it also changed the overall feel of the saxophone.
Now, I also happen to have a Selmer alto (Serie I). I feel the horn is a bit stuffy; the high C is rather muted (this, by the way, seems to be a common problem regarding altos). Maybe I can improve the tone with a different neck? I've already tried a Serie III neck, but it didn't work it's magic as it did on my tenor. I'm grateful to y'all for constructive-minded suggestions!
