Oh, yeah. I could do some altissimo a year ago. I realized I was biting too much rather than using my facial muscles. So I stopped altissimo, switched to super soft reeds, killed my muscles until...

I've been practising overtones a lot recently.:compress: I told myself a week of only overtones but...:faceinpalm:
When I first started practising I could play the Bb and F:popcorn:but not the...

What does FT stand for?

me too!

Thanks for sharing! Very interesting. Glad to hear your all better :)

Thanks :)

I always keep rubber bands in my case, incase a spring breaks. I've been adjusting springs since I was 14. It's really pretty easy, minus the risk of breakage.
It is probably better to just buy...

What did you think of the Silver Shocka??? I'm thinking of trying one some time.

Thanks for your reply!
Your probably right. The main reason I want to try one is because they're suppose to be a lot like Dukoffs. I tryed a couple of Dukoffs a year or two ago and like them,...

Are Brilhart Levelairs known to be somewhat consistant like Runyons, Yanas and Vandoren?

I looked around online and couldn't find it available with a tooth deck. I guess I'll just get some patches for it if I like it.

I play a stock Meyer 6M right now. I have wanted something brighter for a long time but really wanted to master this thing first:banghead:. I hear Quantums are great on tenor but haven't heard much...

I listened to the video a few more times and I definitely like the DV more. You played much more confidently, and I don't mean louder. I think it just depends on the sound you want. Go with you gut.

I have mixed feelings. At first I liked the DV a lot, but I'm starting to lean towards the Selmer. I personaly would go with the DV.

The Yamaha 875EX is a beast! Very solid horn.

How long have you been playing? Do you play at all? Soprano, Alto, Tenor? Why the big four? Why do you have "a personal preference towards the Yamaha 875-EX?"?
What works for you is all that...

I completely agree!

I tryed a bari soft not to long ago. Maybe it was just a bad reed but it played much harder than a soft. Felt like a #2 1/2.

I think some players move there jaw towards the body on low notes and vise versa. Pulling your jaw in but leaving your lip in the same place will put more lip touching the reed and help you low...

Those videos are amazing!
