The following discussion is on Tenor sax.
In the last week, I have COMPLETELY changed my embochure, trying to follow all the million things I've picked up on this forum
.
I also read to try to tune on just the neck or just the mouthpiece. The most stable note on the mp + neck seems to be a concert F. Is that correct? Does it vary with the mouthpiece?
also, if i just play the mouthpiece, i can get a whole range of notes, but mostly just alot of squeeks!!!! it is a guardala super king, maybe just too wide to play by itself (anyone know the actual number? .130?)??
I've switch to real soft reeds per another guy's suggestion , "soft LaVoz" or "vandoren java #2".
What note is the mouthpiece supposed to produce (concert pitch) by itself?
Thanks!!
David
