Hi all,
I suddenly find that I'm getting a chirping sound, especially when I move to D with the octave key fast/with tonguing. I haven't had this happen in at least 6 months. I did get a new horn (Cannonball alto) and a new mouthpiece (Jody Jazz
7). I suspect that I need a tighter embouchure with the Jody Jazz than I did with a classical large chamber mouthpiece. But any other possibilities you can think of are welcome.
