Okay. So ive picked up the Sax in the last few months after a 15 year break and treated myself to an Otto Link Supertone 7 mouthpiece. I went to try about a dozen different mouthpieces over at Woodwind Exchange in Bradford UK before i bought it as i heard not one Link M/P is the same as the other.
Now im 100% happy with the piece, it sounds great but i am struggling to blow if i use anything more than a 1 1/2 or a 2 Vandoren Jazz Reeds.
I have a Rovner 'dark' ligature. I put a Rico 2 reed on and it just sounded really difficuly to blow. Im thinking how the hell can anyone use a 3??
Will it get easier the more i play by strengthening my lungs and mouth? The problem with using a 1 1/2 reed is it sounds a bit tingly in the high range, but easier in the low notes.
What will refacing the mouthpiece do??
