Ha,
Just kidding about the embouchure part. but seriously, I am trying to get my classical shops back in shape for a gig neck week and it is forcing me to once again look at my set up. Using a stock piece (soloist C*) I am finding it pretty fatiguing to play, in the way when you are fighting the piece more than you should have to. Having custom faced clarinet pieces has really made a difference, in fact in comparison I would rather be playing clarinet--almost at least. So this got me thinking that I would enjoy classical sax much more if I had an efficient mouthpiece that wasn't so taxing to play. (When I was studying, I just powered through the ineffiencies of the mpc--but I think that leads you in the direction of not playing relaxed, biting etc.). So I know there are better options, what are some suggestions of things I could get hold of quickly?
thanks
