Unfortunately, as far as I know, there isn't really a way to stop this. The best way to help prevent this is to be very careful with your sax, but it's virtually impossible to keep those pestering little scratches off your lacquer.

You should just keep it up cause there's nothing you can do about it!!:(. But I promise after a while you will develope strong cheek muscles and the pain will stop!! Hope you get better!!Ps....I had the same problem with my clarinet!!
check the spring and flip it up, or just take it to an instrument repair shop ================================ Most key repairs and particularly the G# key on a saxophone must be adjusted by an experienced professional.
There are 3 levels of saxophones. First, there's a student model. Student models are cheaper and for beginning saxophonists or saxophonists who don't really plan on continuing saxophone. It has all the basic functions a beginner needs. These are the cheapest Second, there's the intermediate level saxophone. These are used mostly for students who want to keep going in your saxophone career. Most models have the alternate F# key that is needed in harder level music. The tone from the materials used is also better. These can get pretty expensive but most are affordable (if it's important to you). Lastly, There's the professional saxophone. These are for serious saxophonists, (or ones that like to spend money!) These are ALWAYS at least 2000 dollars...They have the best sound, however. All have an alternate F# key (and on soprano high G key) If you want a professional saxophone, I would suggest waiting until you know how to play and care for it/know you want to keep going with the saxophone. Hope this helps.
Oh my... making a saxophone is complicated. People with much technical experience in designing instruments work with machines that create certain portions of the saxophone. I believe people create the molds, which the machines then fill. Bores are drilled into the main body, other mechanisms are made by hand, the laquer is sprayed on... it is play-tested before release.
When lacquer gets wet, it can soften and become tacky, losing its smooth and hard finish. Over time, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause the lacquer to break down, leading to peeling, cracking, or cloudiness. It is important to keep lacquer-coated surfaces dry to maintain their quality and appearance.
Its quite simple... If you have a regular case just keep it in your house...tip don't leave it in the car no matter what for more that 2 hours

To play a high G sharp on the alto saxophone, make sure to use proper fingerings and practice good breath support. Keep your embouchure firm and use a fast air stream to produce a clear and focused sound. Experiment with different fingerings and practice scales to improve your technique.
There is not a set method for caring for your saxophone, but this is what I do:Get a cleaner for the sax. you leave it in whenever it is not in use.Always keep the stopper at the top of the body of the sax in when it is not in useKeep it in its case when not in useClean it every once in a whileTake it to a repair shop for regular tune upsHandle it with care
Take two painkillers borefe you go to bed with a large glass of water, keep the water at the bed, if you need a sip during the night. Always works wonders for me!
Odds are, no. You would have to get two cases or get a custom case. In my opinion, the piccolo is so small anyway, you might as well save the money and just keep the piccolo in your pocket.

It will bleed, get infected, and get you sick.
Be careful applying lacquer as a top coat over latex or water based paint. The paint will often "craze" (bubble or sag) when lacquer is applied to it.
