I played on a Yamaha when I started, as quickly found it limiting. However, I should have stuck to my mouthpiece rather than search for the holy grail. Which I’ve not found, although the current mouthpiece is close, as was the 4AL which preceded it.
In order the mouthpieces I used were; 51, 4AM, SM4M, SM3M, SM3.5M, 4AL, 2AL, 4G, 4G Megatone, 4GB, SM4, SM3, SM3.5, SM4U, John Ridgeon 1LT, 4AL, John Ridgeon 1LE.
There’s a whole lot of blowing in the wind right there. I should have focused on the basics, and developing a properly broad sonorous sound rather than chasing high Ebs!
Please don’t waste the time and money I did, by not knuckling down and working hard. I’ve simplified my equipment and approach, and am playing better than I ever have done.
