Question:

Sometimes when I blow the sax, I can hear ‘watery’ sound in the background. The sound is not ‘clean’. What could possibly be the problem in this case?

Thanks!

Answer:

Probably some water building up somewhere in the saxophone.

I will blow through the mouthpiece, not making sound, but causing air to move the water forward and then shake out my neck sometimes.

Sometimes it builds up under certain keys, seems like the palm keys especially (the openings under the pads for them).

I tried this method last night and it worked. Thanks!
