        Hi all,

        I play alto and have a student Yamaha 100 for now and have been playing for since xmas and have been really unhappy with my tone. I yesterday discovered the virtues of changing the MP and reed combo. I bought a Selmer C* off the Net for $50 and at my weekly lesson bought a 21/2 Vandoran ZZ reed to trial – a step up from the 2’s I have been blowing. WOW – what an immediate improvement. Much better tone and not as thin as the Yam 4C MP. It remains a classical sound though and I am wondering if anyone has a combo that projects a more rock sound. Is it even possible on an alto and expecially a cheapie!. Subconsciously I think I am picturing a Tenor sound which I reckon might be my next sax. Johhny – will a metal mouthpiece make the difference?

          I’ve ended up sticking with the original mouthpiece with the horn (martin alto). I have a selmer c* and a rico graftonite, but in the end it seems like your horn ends up sounding like you. There’s a voice under the different horns, mouthpieces, and reeds that ends up coming through now mattter what. I guess the kicker is to develop that.
