[never enough sax]

Players, I could use some advice

I normally play a .110 to .115 opening on tenor pieces with most my pieces are low baffle and HR, the exception being a Mojo Duckoff @ .111 I've found a Barone Jazz metal mouthpiece the seller tells me is a great playing piece that was his main mouthpiece for a year but it's @ .105

I'd like to try it, but will that lower tip opening work for me ? For what it's worth I use a RJS 3S normally and I play in a four horn combo where blend is more important than power, but I do need some presence.

thanks for your insights...

Probably not a big difference. Many mouthpiece tip opening numbers aren't that accurate anyway.

If the smaller opening bothers you, try going up to a stiffer reed.
