Damn I Lost My Corkgrease...
Cant find my Yamaha corkgrease.. damn.. cant believe i lost it..
Finally got some practising time yesterday and this morning. Only managed to seriously practise
1-4. Didnt have enough time to practise 5-7 becos of time contraints and other matters. But next
time :)
This morning, i paid more attention to finding the right tuning for my sax and i think i got it. I'll
mark dat down :D After dat, it was altissimo practice the whole time. I was busy finding the
RIGHT fingering dat had a good blend of good full tone, ease of playing, easier fingering and
also pitched accurately enough. So i sorta practised my previous altissimo which was the lower
and middle alt registers and yeah found it damn hard after 2-3 weeks of not practising.. !!!!!!!!!
dat's wat basically happens when u DONT practise daily and often enough.. but well, i didnt
have a choice.. but i'll try to find time to fool around with practice more often~

After playing Alt C#, which hits Concert E, man i tell u your eardrums are at the point where they
can burst.. cos the pitch is so damn high already and well guess wat, dat isnt even at the 3 1/2
octave mark.. I can imagine what might be goin through the minds of my neighbours when i start
to push towards the 3 1/2 - 3 3/4 octave range... HAHAHAH!!
