Beginner Tenor embouchure issues

[Fraser Jarvis]

Glad it got you going again, strange thing is most men won't admit to playing a soft reed it's a macho thing I think.

I agree with Colin. Just consciously open up and relax your embouchure more. It's much looser on tenor than on alto. And give more breath support without blowing harder.

Agree on the single reed/mouthpiece. But a soft reed on a narrow tip is going to make the problem worse.
