Iwas thinking of a BG or Rovner to begin upon my Yamaha 4C mouthpiece, any advice here please?

I'm pretty confident that it isn't. If it works, it works. And if it doesn't work, there's probably a problem with the mouthpiece.I'm sure it's worth trying a couple of variations out just to hear the differences (if any).
I had to read that twice"When the going gets tough, get thee in the shed young lad, get yer head down and pratice"
I couldn't hear a difference that couldn't be attributed to the fact that they were separate performances. If he'd done them all with the same lig, there would still be differences. Another problem is that, to do this sort of test, you have to take the reed off the moputhpiece and put it back on again. How sure can you be that iit goes back to exactly the same place? You'd have t do loads of takes with each lig and see if any differences you hear are consistent. And even then there's the question of what the player expects from the lig if he/she isn't blindfolded.Funnily enough my tutor did a lig shootout last week, be interesting if the people who do listen to it, do so blind and let us know if you can hear a difference.
So, no differenceI couldn't hear a difference that couldn't be attributed to the fact that they were separate performances.
I’d trust his expertise in placing a reed in the same placeyou have to take the reed off the moputhpiece and put it back on again. How sure can you be that iit goes back to exactly the same place?
I'm not questioning his expertise, he's clearly a fine player. But there's a bit of leeway in where you place the reed and it will still play ok, By the time you get to the fourth lig, can you really be sure it's in exactly the same place? Even fractions of a mm could make a significant difference to how the setup performs. An experienced player would adjust for such a difference without even noticing he or she was doing it.I’d trust his expertise in placing a reed in the same place
...until she had the cheek to criticise my taste in mouthpieces......though I quite liked my rovner versa...
I don't remember that my full apologies...until she had the cheek to criticise my taste in mouthpieces...
Sorry about that....half baked joke as though the Rovner had been speakingI don't remember that my full apologies
Probably me just being blonde! I get it now, though it is early and I was led astray last night with wine!Sorry about that....half baked joke as though the Rovner had been speaking
