William, makes sense cause B major is a semi-tone up from Bb so it’s a nice uplifting raise. That’s why it sounds good to our ears.
B is the relative minor of D major, so not really the case here because Happy Xmas is in B major.
I had to go down half size on my reed strength, from a carbon onyx medium to a medium soft on my carbon fat boy 7* mouthpiece. Good match, 7* and medium soft onyx reed. I’ll be bouncing back and forth from a medium soft to medium. When we arrive in Taos New Mexico we’ll have to hunt for internet service, broadband, smoke signals, or something.
