How do you install an alto sax reed?

In: Alto Saxophone [Edit categories]

Answer:

If you take the round metal piece off the top of the mouth piece by loosening the screws, and place the reed next to the mouth piece so the flat side is next to the mouth piece. Then, line up the curved top of the reed with the curved top of the saxophone, so you can only see a tiny bit of the mouthpiece. Put on the round metal piece again and tighten it using the screws. There you have it!!
