HI all just joined the site looking round and it seems a realy good site site for tips , lessons and the like .I am from nottingham in the UK 62 years young picked up the sax awhile ago but put it down for the last 7 year’s.I would like to get into the blues I have a yanagiawa tenor which I did not like the sound of too bright but now after playing around with reeds and the mouth piece got a nice dark sound and looking forward to learningthe lessonson there and pinch the tips 😀
Hi Johnny. the mp is a selmer 5* and the reed is rico 2 for the moment, I have soft embouchure at the moment but I am sure that it will toughen up the longer I keep blowing the horn.
Yes, sounds like a good setup, as you say, later on you can go for a wider mp and even bump up to a 2 1/2 reed…this will give you a bigger sound, but will require more air/work also!
