How is everybody doing? I know these type of threads are tiring to see, but yes I need help. I have been doing a lot of things to try and get the sound I am looking for. I have used different type and strength reeds. I have a yanigasawa metal 7 mouthpiece.
I put in a new reed and the sound is stuffy vs. my old reed which was kind of bright. I am trying to get a distinctive sound. Like a cross between kirk whalum and dave koz, bright and silky smooth. I am trying to figure out how to do this. I also do long tones once in a while, because I don't see how that is helping me this point in the game. I have been playing for 9yrs now.
