Hi there,
I'm just starting to discover different personalities coming from the mouthpiece. I found if I move my lower jaw outward it creates more buzz sound sort of like modern jazz character and having it closer to the tip especially with controlling the pinching I can create a sound more like clarinet (rounder more like a sine wave).
I'm wondering if someone already experienced changing their mouthpiece or reed to create a different texture and what it would be.
It may also depend on the sax body. I have a Yamaha YTS-61 and a new lower end Otto Link metal mouthpiece #6, with Rico Royal 2 1/2 reed. I found YTS-61 has a round sound to begin with and I'm wondering what mouthpiece could be a good choice for this sax to take advantage of YTS-61 personality.
