  1. Soprano, Bass and Misc. mpc
    I would think that these items would work together like a hand in a glove, but the lig is barely large enough to fit on the mouthpiece when there is a reed in place. It is difficult to adjust the reed, because even when loosened as much as possible, the ligature is fairly tight. I attribute...
  2. Ligatures
    Hello fellow cats, Sorry for my ignorance on this matter. I realise that this issue has been discussed a lot in the past but can't seem one that discussed this for the 10mFan pieces. I am enjoying the Robusto a lot and I am using it with the Rovner Star Series for a while. Yesterday I had the...

    Hey guys. If this question has already been posted, comment a link to that post and I'll remove this thread. I searched, but I couldn't find anything that matched my question. I'm considering buying a Vandoren Optimum mouthpiece, should I try to play on multiple mouthpieces of the same brand to...

    The last contest I entered, the judge said he didn't like my sound on a C Star. He recommended the Vandoren Optimum mouthpiece. What are your thoughts on this?

    I'm interested in buying a Vandoren Optimum alto sax ligature for my Meyer mouthpiece. Will the Optimum lig fit on my Meyer? Or am I better off buying a Francois Louis Ultimate lig? Thanks
  7. Alto mpc
    Folks, I've been playing my Morgan 6M alto mpc for years and love it, along with some Alexander Superial reeds. My current ligature is a Vandoren Optimum, with the interchangeable plates. It's a very good lig, but even though I tighten it as far as it goes it still slips. For anyone who's...
  8. Sax vs. Sax, Mpc vs. Mpc, etc.
    Hello, I am looking for a new alto sax mouthpiece, as my S80 C* isn't really doing it for me anymore. Classical. I have looked at the Vandoren V5 A27 and A28, and the Vandoren Optimum AL3 and AL4. I'm not sure which to get, but I'm leaning towards the AL4 at the moment. Just wondering what you...
