So, in band were playing this song and I have a solo with of course low notes, but lately I haven't been able to play them softly. The note keeps going up an octave, what should I do? My band director is no help because knows nothiung bout' saxophones. HELP! Do I need harder reeds, i play on mediums, but thats all our band director will get us.

If they were OK in the past, it's likely your horn is out of adjustment. Take it to a good repairman. Low notes on bari's are prone to this problem, (long rods).
