So, if not the baffle, what do you want to change?Hersch17 said:Mojo- No I haven't... and I don't think I will..
AM - the metal link profile is OK to me as well. I do find that the slope of the beak in HR pieces lends itself to a bigger sound for me..
Hmmm...interesting. I always thought I got a nice dark sound on a selmer S80, but I also thought I got a similar sound with the original scroll shank C#. I preferred the S80 because of the gentle slope of the beak. In comparison, I thought that the scroll shank felt like a gobstopper.ez_sax said:Beak slope makes a noticeable difference to me. A taller beak (more significant angle) promotes a more open embouchure and encourages a darker tone. Not to say one can't compensate or override the tendency. But it's just that - a tendency. If a person WANTS a brighter sound, they will probably find it more straightforward with a shallower beak. If a person WANTS a darker sound, they will find it more straightforward with a taller beak. All else being equal, of course.
