Are your reeds in good hands?

I have been playing for almost 3 years and I am not really sure about what type my mouthpiece is. I assume it is best for a beginner though because it is the one that I started with. I also have another mouthpiece that came with my sax. when I bought it. (I don't think that is very specific, sorry)

Lol its fine :) I would just recommend getting a Selmer C* mouthpiece if you’re going to be playing in high school, its made out of hard rubber as opposed to plastic and is made to very specific standards.

Hope this helps,

Thank you! I love your blogs! I was told by my teacher that there was no difference so i bought a 2 1/2 and now i am kind of adjusting to it. But what about getting rid of that spitty/fuzzy sound. Does the mouthpiece just need to be cleaned more often?

Thank you :) Thats actually because the reed is too hard and not vibrating enough, what mouthpiece are you playing on your tenor sax and how long have you been playing?

Hi. I was curious, I decided to buy a Vandoren reed that is a size 2 1/2 when i play a rico/rico royal 2 1/2. I don't know if it's me, but I get an incredibly spitty sound out of my Tenor Sax. do you know anything to get rid of that spitty sound? and I also don't know if there is a size difference either.

Actually there is a strength difference between different brands. Heres a chart to help you figure out which strength is right for you :)

Hope this helps, 

Lilio :D

Flashmob of the Day: A flashmob invaded a Copenhagen, Denmark Metro train last month, but in this case, the flashmob was the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra.

They treated unsuspecting commuters to a performance of Grieg’s “Peer Gynt,” and creative agency Makropol captured the whole thing on video.

Right about now, a few people on that train are probably wishing they had taken their earbuds out.
