I purchased an Otto Link Tone Edge - Vintage Tenor MPC (6*) not so long ago - a bit of a shot in the dark as I'm not that much of an experienced player. Prior to that I had been using a HITE Premiere.
One thing I noticed about the Otto Link is that the tip rail seems more rounded than the HITE - this also means more rounded than the RICO Royal reeds I use too.
This means that the reed doesn't cover the tip rail evenly - closer to the corners than the middle if you know what I mean.
Assuming that this is normal for this MPC/Reed combination is it something I should be worried about? I am having a bit of difficulty with some of the lower notes. If I go back to the HITE it seems to play easier.
Any comments/advice will be most welcome.
