Oh and my new sax has a deficiency, the sharp key for G# doesn’t respond quickly, it’s like the seal gets stuck?

My response
Hello Edward,
Your saxophone doesn’t necessarily have a deficiency, having the G# key stick is actually fairly common in a lot of saxophones. Partially due to its position on the horn.
Do you ever eat or drink as you play saxophone?
About the overtones, sometimes they’re caused by your fingers not being at exactly the right time. But also, you will probably learn to avoid those as you keep playing. If you can practice more often, more like everyday, you will improve faster.
Danke

I used to have the problem of my G sharp key sticking so I use some babypowder or footpowder on mine and it unsticks real good. Just use a q- tip and work the powder over the pad a few times and it should unstick.
