[QUOTE="sax panther, post: 294471, member: 4752"] I saw this thread pop up a couple of days ago and it was of interest to me - as I've mentioned in other threads, I've got a PPT which I want to like, but it keeps squeaking when I play "enthusiastically" on the notes at the top of the treble clef. I'd tried experimenting with different reeds which was largely inconclusive, but I tried a different test on Sunday - I held the reed tightly against the mouthpiece with my thumb - my results were much better, with no squeaking. The one that came with the mouthpiece I think is a Rovner star (or possibly a copy of one). I probably should have tried this before! I've gone through some other threads as well as this one looking for advice and saw some posts from Pete Thomas saying he'd had good results with the basic tenor sax lig from Howarths, so I've ordered one of those. Hopefully this fixes the issue for me, because when I'm not squeaking I really enjoy the sound and response from this mouthpiece. Fingers crossed... [/QUOTE]
