[musictlk] question about saxophone

[Chris Westbrook]

I have a few questions about the saxophone.  I just recently started playing.  First of all, do you guys have any good recommendations on ligatures?  I have one that has two screws that you tighten or loosen, but it seems to be pretty tight and I'm tired of chasing little screws all around the apartment.  Also, what's the best way you guys have of keeping track of reeds?  My teacher said he alternates reeds, and my case doesn't have little compartments to keep individual reeds in.  Do you guys recommend alternating reeds or do you just use one until it goes bad?  Thanks for any help.
