Hi all,
firstly sorry if my technical terms are not very good ;} but I wondered if I could ask some advice.
I have played an Alto Trevor James Classic Horn and got on quite well with it.
10 days ago I bought myself a Tenor - Trevor James Horn Revolution II after trying it in the shop and being stunned by the free blowing and quick action (compared to my Alto). When I got my Alto I upgraded the mouthpiece from the Trevor James that came with it to a Yam 4c as suggested at the time.
With the tenor I'm having problems with the occasional squawk on the upper register (this happens even if I'm very careful with my embouchure) and slight raspiness in the sound 90% of the time.
Could this just be me getting used to the Tenor, or could it be the Trevor James mouthpiece? - should I change to a Yam 4c (or has been suggested 5c) I have tried to find a local music shop that will let me try both out but none of them stock both so am at a bit of a loss to know what to do for the best 🙁
thanks for any advice 🙂
