A lot of people tell me I have a Paul Desmond and Stan Getz approach when I play alto (although I cringe when they say this because that would be truly understating their playing abilities...)
However, I have been working on a more warm and airy approach for a few months now. I think I have come pretty far, but I am now thinking about buying a new mouthpiece that would make playing like this easier (it is still acheivable on my current mouthpiece, which is a meyer 6m)
Regardless of the obvious fact that all players are quite different, I am wondering which mouthpieces would you, from past experience worked well for you and recommend? I am thinking about an HR Link.
I tried out the HR Link on alto and was very happy with its sound. However, I think I might buy it online because the one in the store is about 97 dollars. Are the quality control issues really bad with Otto Link Tone Edge mouthpieces, or are they just slightly blown out of proportion?
Thank you for all your honest feedback!
I apologize for the long and unorganized post
