Hi all
Can I have some advice re mouthpieces please. I have used (for 2-years) a Selmer C*, and I have always had trouble with intermittent squeaking with the higher notes, particularly D and above. There isn't a particular cause that I can pinpoint and I have tried numerous recommendations. I have read that due to the sheer quantity of these mouthpieces being produced there can be problems with quality. Have since done a little bit of research and the Vandoren AL3, or 4 seem to be comparable to the C*. Can anyone offer some insightful wisdom into the quality of the Vandoren mouthpieces and indeed if the AL3/4 would be a good place to start looking for a replacement?
as always, very grateful for any feedback
