Hi guys and gals, it may seem like a silly question but can you wear a mouthpiece out or is it more likely you outgrow a mouthpiece. Ive only been playing for about 6 weeks now, so Im new but today I cannot get any note from high treb clef d and above without sqqueaking the sound. It hasnt been a problem in the past but I just cant get a note out. I grabbed my daughters mouthpiece which is a yammy student 4c unit and its harder to push the air through her mouthpiece on my sax but d and above are perfect. My mouthpiece was a no name unit but it played crisp and clear up until today. It has deep teeth marks on the top. My sax teacher pointed out this was mainly because my teeth arent stratight on the top and they tend to slide on the mouthpiece a bit, hence create like a gully shape,and not from biting but that could be possible too.
Clarification my mouthpiece my sax squeaky d and above my daughters mouthpiece my sax - perfect.
Im going to buy another mouthpiece but any recommendations should I step up from this size mouthpiece or stick around this. What could be my problem
Any Help is appreciated
Thanks
Steve
