Hey everybody! I just joined this forum yesterday and need some advice on mouthpieces.
I have been playing the sax since 6th grade and am now ending 9th grade going into 10th next year. So I’ve been playing for about 3 and half years. I don't know if that makes me a beginner intermediate or advance.
I can play books that say advanced but I don't really know what level I'm at.
So I got a new saxophone about a year ago and IV always played with a stock mouthpiece but my music instructor recommended I try getting a new mouthpiece and recommended a rasher. But from what IV heard the rasher is a classical oriented mouthpiece, and our band plays a lot of jazz stuff. A lot of Saxes have metal jazz mouthpieces in fact I'm one of the only ones with a stock mouthpiece.
I’m not sure what to do, should I get a Jazz mouthpiece or a rasher or both? Can anyone recommend some good jazz mouthpieces too?
Thanks
