[QUOTE="LostCircuits, post: 462065, member: 8045"] I don't even know what MPC it is that I have. It came with the BC and I am not sure if it is good or bad but I know Ron Coelho worked on it, so it is probably good. When I first got the setup I was totally frustrated and got myself a Yamaha 4C which was much easier to get started but then I moved back to the (probably LeBlanc). The table is flat and I have the same experience of the reed just sticking to it after a few minutes so that I need to pry it off after removing the ligature. Leaving a hair or fraction thereof of the tip makes it a little bit easier to control but it also deadens the tone - and that may be just the way my embouchure is. Anyway, thanks for starting this thread, it reminded me of the instrument, when I had my hernia surgery I wasn't allowed to play anything for about 2 months and I "cleaned up" my studio and the BC ended up in a corner. Out of sight, almost out of mind but there was so much to catch up with that I didn't touch it again until I started following this thread. And now I am trying to get back to where I was last year :cool: [/QUOTE]
