Never did a Blues in D concert before, so here are some new clips I just recorded with free YouTube backings. As usual fully improvised theme's and solo's. Used the backings this time to compare a metal 50's Otto Link Florida no USA 10* mouthpece and a HR 80's Otto Link Tone Edge 10* mouthpiece, together with two different reeds (Plasticover 2 and Rico Royal 2).

Compare two reeds on the same mouthpiece:
- 'Blues in D' - medium (Florida no USA 10* - Plasticover 2) shuffle blues style:

As expected:
- the HR Tone Edge sounds darker compared to the metal Florida and
- the Rico Royal reed sounds darker compared to the Plasticover
I prefer the the Floirda / Plasticover combination.
Also did a recording with four reeds on the same mouthpiece, will post that one later this month.
