I play bari sax and need advise?

I used to play alto sax but now play bari and i can't hit lower than the low F# on the scale witch i could easily play on alto I thought bari would be easier to hit low notesI play bari sax and need advise?
i play the alto but i think i might be abe to help. Just try blowing like harder and deeper.I play bari sax and need advise?
idk if i can help or not i play the guitar and i had alot of trouble learning notes and multiple things so what i do to help my self learn is id figure out what i had most trouble with witch in your case is lower notes and id make up my own practice for you the lower f# add a few others and just play them over and over and over don't worry about how you sound that doesn't matter if you keep at it sooner or later it will sound better and you'll get better you find out what your doing wrong and in the process you get better at it each time with ease im not 100% sure this will help but this is what i did on the guitar/drums but the guitar and sax are alot different i hope i helped in some way ^^
lower your jaw, try to blow more warm (slow) air. think 'aooowww' a low deep drone. relax those lips!
Haha, the BEST way to get low notes on any woodwind instrument is not to lower your jaw as much, and open your throat and breath hot air.
Ok I play the clarinet, but had the same problem when I switched from B-flat to bass. Just support your air from your lower abs and keep practicing until you get it. Also try working your way down the scale without stopping your air stream. Hope it helps! Good luck!
