Thought I'd better start my own thread instead of hi-jacking Tommy NG's! I've duplicated what I put on there here.
Basically since I bought my Tenor which I find really easy to blow, I find the Alto really difficult to blow - Alto is Trevor James Classic Horn, Tenor is Trevor James REv II both have yam 4c mp.
I've got a Yam 4c on it - same as I've got on my Tenor, could it be that although it suits the tenor it just doesn't suit the alto?
Sax has been checked over twice in the last 18 months - he says it's fine! What mp and reed combo would you recommend?

I'd be surprised if it was the horn. I had a Graftonite mouthpiece for my TJ alto and it was like blowing through a straw. Once I'd changed to a Meyer there was no problem. Get yourself down to a decent music shop and try out a few different mouthpieces before you change the instrument.

I think you should get ya sax checked over and if that's ok check your mp and reed combo.I find them free blowing sax's.
