Had a first lesson on tenor saxophone yesterday. My tutor said I needed a stronger reed. So swtiched from Gonzalez 2.3 to a Rico Royal 3 and pushed the mouthpiece further onto the neck. Then....moved my lips further down the mouthpiece (as opposed to on the "tip" with the alto) and all of a sudden I could reach all of the notes!
Well at least the notes I practised! Forgot to ask him why as the hour went quiickly so just thought I would ask the forum as to why I needed - stronger reed and mouth further down the mouthpiece?
