A quick Hello from Germany

Sounds good…
If you’re striving for a bigger sound you might want to look at your set up again.
You had an otto 5 with 3 1/2 reeds now you have a 6 with 2 1/2 reeds.
I would suggest a slightly more open mp with #3 reeds.
Everyone is different but 3 1/2 is pretty hard no matter the mp.
Give this a try.

all the best

3 1/2 sounds harder than they are. The strength is comparable to vandoren Java 2 1/2.

On my tenor i tried java #3 but with the #6 mp the low c sounds bad (a bit like bubbling).

I will try more mps when i am in hamburg this fall.

Thanks for the reply.

Kurzes Hallo auch von meiner Seite.

Hello, I’m new to this site and even newer to the sax. I have been wanting to play for years and never got started. So, I went out and purchased an alto sax and trying to learn how to play as well as the sax lingo. So bare with me as I learn.

Well good for you… no problem, lot’s of beginners here.

good luck
Johnny
