I just purchased a new A1-B Big Bell Alto Sax last night and love it. Was wondering if anyone could recommend a professional mouthpiece that could be used for...
Hello again, I went to see my repair man to buy a piece of cork to "tweek" my octave key. While I was there I asked Joe if he had a Couf Mpce. He checked...
I would suggest trying a Hard Rubber JODY JAZZ, and also maybe the Classic. You can go to www.jodyjazz.com to check out the mp's. You can pre-authorize one...
I'd also suggest contacting your dealer you bought the sax from and see if they can contact Cannonball and order their CAM C* moutpiece. Much like the Selmer...
Harry, Tell me more about putting a baritone reed on a tenor mouthpiece. Never tried that. Didn't know they would even fit. Or am I misunderstanding your ...
I never had any luck using the same mouthpiece for jazz bands as for smaller ensembles (quartets, etc.), either on tenor or baritone----would suggest that you...
I agree with Bob. Although some in this forum have refered to the C* as "cookie cutter" or antiquated, I still feel like it does the job for classical playing ...
I'd like to chime in on the topic of using the same piece for jazz and legit playing. I've never had any luck with that. In fact I'm a firm beleiver and I ...
Hi, Since we are on the subject of mouthpieces... I am planning on buying these (2) saxes real soon. Anyone out there can recommend me the best mouthpieces...
Mouthpieces are as individual as we are. It sounds trite, but whatever feels best and sounds best is, for you, the best. I never played a Link that I liked,...
No not confused. There are just some many choices out there I would have to spend a whole day probably just to get the sound, intonation, and expressiveness...
Hi, Just in my case,I use LAMBERSON 6M model mp with ISHIMORI`s reed(it`s made by japanese most famous saxophone shop) for bigband and combo sessions, and...
Dennis! The bari reed on the tenorphone is a fine way to fatten and de-edge and color the sound! Listen to Plas "Pink Panther" Johnson. You may have to use a...
I'm with Harry when it comes to Links. I've yet to find one that I liked. I've tried lots of the them, HR and metal on alto and tenor. I know plenty of cats...
I knew a guy who used to use a Bari reed on tenor, a tenor reed on alto and an alto reed on clarinet. I think he was just showing off, though and the only one ...
Just to add to the confusion, I use Links for both alto and tenor. I've used them since the 80's and I haven't found any real strong replacements for either of...
I play Jody Jazz plastic mpc's on both my CB alto and bari. They work great for everything. With the spoiler option and the 2 different necks for the...
I haven't played in 7 years and bought a new stone series tenor today... I got home (2 hours from dealer) and it's squaking on high g and g#... is this a leak,...
Mess around w/ different fingerings - one fingering on one sax may not work too well on another. If the sax plays well everywhere else, I don't think its a...
Hi, I'm Ben Silver. I'm in 10th grade and looking to buy a new saxophone. Right now I have a POS yas-23 that I've played on for too long. I recently bought a...
Congratulations on your purchase! Back when, I found the overtones came too easily on those notes - it also happened on my '26 Conn. It's the nature of the...
Get it back to the dealer and have them fix it. I am surprised that they let you take it with it playing like that. Of course if they cannot, then have them...
If you're talking about g and g# on top of the staff, you're probably taking in too much mouthpiece. Back up a little bit, or put your lower lip higher on the ...
If you didn't have time to have the dealer adjust it, that could be the cause. If the left-hand stack is not adjusted properly, that will cause problems....
Thanks everyone for your help... I called the dealer and he is going to call me back when I get home to my sax and walk me through seeing if it's a spring or...
Christi, If you are talking about G2 thru A2 (just above the staff) then I'd have to double what other ppl have said. Take it back to the dealer to have it...
