Normally I play with a selmer S80 C* mouthpiece , now I got this wagner slimline 5 mouthpiece with an old rico V2 reed and all of a sudden I can play very softly and airy with this combination

I tried this mouthpiece with a vandoren blue 2 and 2.5 and 3 but almost impossible to get notes out , the sax is a yamaha

Here is a sound sample

Just above the middle there is a play button

 

[1saxman]

Yep, that's sub-toning. It can be done in any register.

Nope. Not on the ad I'm getting. No play button.

Looks like you've got the answer to your question, though.

It sounds more like playing a reed that is too hard then properly subtoning.

 

[2saxy4jazz]

It is a very special effect reed ...:mrgreen:

Mature or Manure?

Man, you are braver than me, I wouldnt be putting that thing anywhere near my mouth. The sooner you find a soft replacement the better!

Desperate for the money to buy a new box of reeds?? Or what?

No , to find a suitable replacement that plays as good as this reed ...
