I'm a relative beginner and have an Earlham Alto with it's standard ebonite mouthpiece which works well with Rico Royal 2 reeds.
I bought a Bari Gold 75 metal mouthpiece and can't get it to work well below A/G; it results in a burbling sound for most notes lower than this.
Any suggestions for perhaps a different reed for the metal mouthpiece?
I've also got an Earlham Tenor with ebonite and Otto Link 6* NY metal; both these work with RR-2 reeds.
I've also got bent (Sakkusu) and curved (Elkhart) sopranos and a Mauriat Le Bravo Bari (all with Yamaha ebonite and RR-2 reeds); quite happy with all of those. Did find the straight soprano a bit picky on the mouthpiece position I must admit, unlike the curved one.
Any suggestions?
