Not really. You have to get used to the keys under your fingers as each Saxophone is a little different. The reeds however need to be wet enough so they vibrate and aren't bowed. When starting with a new reed keep it in your mouth a while before putting it on the mouth piece. This will make the instrument with a new reed eaiser to play.
