My mistake calling the body vent the top vent..anyhow i loosened the screw a bit and the vent opens constantly c2 to d2 no squeeks..i think it was sticking. Mouthpiece plays a treat defo keeper i love it...C1 to D2 should only open the body vent.
Thanksv@jazzdoh..i was getting frustrated because i didnt think it was a mouthpiece issue (just) i know my limitations but the reed played great up and down aside from that transition..i was getting frustrated more that in 9 pages no one offered advice on the fact that it may be a hardware issue only me getting above my station trying a pro piece..quite hurtful thats why i got a little defensive and apologise if i did. Anyway the body vent is sorted i loosened a screw and can now play at least up and down with that transition..defo a keeper easy blow nice low end. I cant wait to be able to get more from it..The problem you got is you are getting frustrated because it won't play like you think it should.
You could like I said earlier try different reeds including a synthetic to help with squeaking, if its just the squeaking then with practise and time you will probably be able to control it, but Rome wasn't built in a day.
High baffle mouthpieces take time to adjust to if you can't or won't give it time then move to a less forgiving piece.
You have been playing 3 years, which is nothing in the grand scheme of your sax journey.
A good analogy. Which is why I would not recommend PPT tenor to beginners. Nor a Theo Wanne Durga come to think of it.First we learn to drive. Then we buy a sports car.
No she drove the mini illegally....had the woman passed her test?
Yes, but which recorder? Should it be rosewood or pear? Baroque or German fingering? It's a minefield out there!i may get a recorder keep my goals low..no mpce issues that way
Your mention of sports car again brought this to mind.Is there any difference tonally.. I dont think it matters ill never be a pro recordist ??..plastic will do i dont want anything i cant handle..ive never driven a sports car im not allowed to on my full licence...so better stick with my robin reliant...i don't want to set my stall to high.....
