Advice needed for MP on BW Tenor…
Did this exercise before, but funds and ‘life stuff’ got in the way of a research and purchase, so here we go again, also lost my info from when I asked last time.
I’m looking to move forward with my playing and have decided that a mouthpiece and lig change may be in order.
I am currently playing with a Yamaha 6C MP, and the original Lig that came with the BW plastic MP (has a tendency to slip on the MP!)
The music I like playing along to is mainly Pink Floyd (Dick Parry and other session musis’), and would love to get that sound (who wouldn’t). It is difficult for me to get to try a whole lot of MP’s as I live in NZ and it is somewhat difficult to find well stocked musical instrument shops anywhere.
I am thinking about a Vandoren Optimum lig, as I like the reviews and the fact that you get three baseplates for different sound/response etc. But which MP?????
Maybe one of PT’s own brand?..... I have written to Edward Pillinger who makes them, as I thought he may be able to advise, but also any of you good folk out there who may be able to add a pennyworth, would be welcome.
I’m a relatively new player, but I would sooner spend on a good setup that I can ‘grow into’ as opposed to swapping and changing up later.
Thanks all…..
