Is there a problem with the instrument and not the player?
I’m still having problems on bottom hand, Saxophone just squeaks. I’ve already changed the reed as well.
Playing alto sax, Only about a month now.

My response:
Nine times out of ten it’s probably the player and not the horn.
This might not be the answer you want to hear, but it’s often the truth.
If you had been playing twenty years and had the same problem and you didn’t have the problem before, I would say it would be a different situation.
Sometimes it’s a problem with the instrument, but given that you just started, it’s more likely that you’re not doing something correctly. You could have someone who knows how to play test your horn to see.
My guess would be that your reed is not adjusted properly. Let me know if you’re interested in purchasing lessons/classes.
