    Dear All, since we are about to move house I'm trying to reduce what I have acquired in a first year of GAS / having some fun trying out different things while figuring out what I wanted to play. This has been played by me for about 4 weeks, always with a protective mouthpiece cushion. Rails...

    Tech/maintenance What kind of reeds are better for larger tip openings?

    I recently bought a Vandoren v16 with a tip opening of about 280. My java reds (size 3) don't seem to play well on it, and they worked fine on my smaller mouthpiece, so I was wondering if I should take the reed strength down a bit.

    FOUND Wanted: Vandoren Optimum AL5 Mouthpiece

    Having recently got a rather good Vandoren Optimum mouthpiece for my tenor, I’m keen to try one for alto. So if you have an AL5 sitting unplayed in your mouthpiece box, I would be interested in buying it. I am not currently looking for an AL3 or AL4. In the event of a purchase I will donate 5%...

    SOLD via Cafe Vandoren Tenor Moutphiece (V16 T6)

    Anyone interested in a Vandoren V16 tenor T6 mouthpiece (in good nick) with regular two screw ligature? I went through a crisis of confidence when I thought I might be a tasteful ebonite, low baffle sort of player. Now I have my new Berg Larsen I realise how wrong I was; it’s good to be back...

    Tech/maintenance Breathy reeds adjustment

    Following @Jazzaferri 's generous price a couple of months ago (3 manually prepared reeds), I started to experiment preparing reeds myself based of what I saw. I have a stock of Glotin (and a few blue Vandoren) reeds that are too hard for me, so it's ideal. I've been lucky to have some success...

    Mouthpieces Mouthpiece Air Resistence

    I dug out my Vandoren V16 T8 mouthpiece tonight to just confirm that it doesn't sizzle like my Jumbo Java - it doesn't. But that's not my question. ;) Even though the V16 is a T8, which apparently has a .110" tip opening whereas my T75 has smaller .106", and even though the T75 has a really...

    Reeds Vandoren reed which size should I use?

    I am using Vandoren Traditional 2. Bought a 2 sample pack of Vandoren jazz mix(V16, Java Red, Java Green, and ZZ). Liked the Java Green. When I looked at the Vandoren comparison chart shows the Java Green 2.5 is the same strength as Traditional 2. So should I buy the Java Green 2.5 or 2 if the...

    Reeds Vandoren Java Green - Massive Difference Between Reeds

    Ever since I got into the sax I've been hearing that supposedly identical reeds can differ quite dramatically - the only thing is, over the last 15 months I've only ever had reeds that differed slightly, certainly not enough to worry about. And then I bought two Java Green 3.5s. You may...
