HI all I don't know if I am posting this in the correct section, but here goes. I am a relative beginner who plays a G4M tenor, with vandoren java 2.5 reeds and a Bari Esprit mouthpiece. I have also been using legere signature 2 and 2.25 which I like very much as they are so easy to blow. The trouble is my teacher does n't like them. He wont let me use them during a lesson. He is a very generous man and gave me an E Rousseau JDX7 which he is trying to encourage me to use instead of my Bari Esprit . I can't blow the damn thing. I have trouble getting the low notes and have to blow real hard to get the high notes. It makes my ears pop. My teacher says I should persevere as my chops will develop into this set up. I am not so sure. I would prefer to go back to my old easier set up or perhaps try a Windcraft Etude. What should I do?
Yours Dref.
