imo – going up a mouthpiece size would work out better in the long run, i agree i can hear the reed sounds way too easy to play more puff on the reed would sound too thin, a slightly more heavy sax volume sound would come from a stronger reed when blown harder.

Back again for another listen. I need to keep you on stand by I’ll have the melody in my memory. I’m waiting for my sax mute to arrive so I can practice “Drift Away” without upsetting the house. I ordered the mute that encloses the whole sax, called the esax mute. So right now I’m blowing Tom Jones’ “Help Yourself”.
