I've been playing sax for six years. When I started on tenor I used a (supplied) Yani mpc but changed to an Otto Link Metal ('cos the Yani kept jamming closed at big volumes) and loved it for a long, long time. Now, all of a sudden, I find my original Yani moutpiece has come to the fore once again, so much so that I find the OL almost unplayable and when I do it's really hard to make a big sound.
I wonder why this should be so.
My Otto has a seven opening, my Yani, a six, and while just a year or so ago my Otto was the bees knees, I now find it largely crappy and rather hard work.
Anyone any scientific theories as to why the above should happen? I play every day, I'm in a band and I do classical stuff with a trio. Now I'm back to a basic mouthpiece and my sound is better than ever before. I'm a bit baffled.
