I picked up a Yamaha 62 tenor at an amazing price I couldn't pass up and am using a 4c mouthpiece. I like it because its easy to play in tune. I especially notice and appreciate the palm keys. They come out fat and in tune and very effortlessly. Can anyone suggest another mouthpiece that might have more character, but still be as easy to play. I think after about .80 tip size I don't gain anything.
I got a New Vintage hard rubber Otto Link 5*. And it is great! Great character and sound, however it gets too bright for my taste in the upper register.
Any suggestions appreciated. I had been thinking about a Meyer NY vintage tenor 5* but for no reason other that curiosity.
One other point is that moving forward my main horn will be Alto- I will spend most of my time on alto. I have tried a 7 Retro Revival super D on tenor and it sounds AWESOME, however I don't really have the chops and notice I can play out of tune. This is why I'm looking for something similar to the 4c but- again with more character and maybe a little more open without sacrificing ease of play and intonation.
Hope to hear from all you 62ers!
Thanks
