Hi,
I've recently Purchased a JodyJazz DVNY 7 which sounded so sweet on my Yani a901, but since upgrading to a a992 I've not been able to get on with it at all.
I was finding I was fatiguing after about 40 minutes, (Rico Royal 2.5 reed).
I then changed down to a 6 mouthpiece, and found my tone faltering due to the lack of resistance, only getting somewhat better when playing a Vandoren Blue box 3 reed. The problem this gives me is it is very difficult to play quiet passages evenly, and its still too free blowing for me.
The choices open to me are to go back to the 7 and work on stamina, or make do with the 6 and work on tone control with a lack of resistance.
Any advice greatly welcomed!
Thanks
Steve
