Correction my mouthpiece is a Selmer Jazz C**
PostPosted: Mon Apr 24, 2006 6:55 pm


I've got four mouth pieces (all hard rubber):


-Selmer C* Cs 80 for marching band

-whatever crap mouth piece that comes with a Blessing horn for friends to use or during marching if I need it for some reason

-OttoLink Tone Edge 6 for jazz

-Sigurd Raschard for concert band heart (dark tone) if I ever need a light tone I pull out the C* but all the kids in my section play on Raschards so it's great for blending our sounds 3nodding

Um... tripping is a bad idea, and make sure to keep an eye on the state of the screws in your sax. A school nearby had a kid accidently trip while jazz running and his bari wasn't pretty afterward.

Bah bah bah...I haven't been to this guild in forever.

I just found this amazing little repair shop today. I'm in love.
They gave me an old C* mouthpiece for my soprano.
It's kind of old, so if I decide I want it I can have it for like 30 bucks.
So I use that, and a regular C* for my alto.
Some generic stock mouthpiece for my bari because I hate it and don't play it.

Hey everyone. I survived marching with the bari(which i can't say for some of my friends who play lighter instruments). Just incase anyone was curious. It wasn't so bad. It was akward doing the horns up and down the first time, but otherwise it was easy.

I played on my C* for the first time in maybe half a year. We had pep band practice for a local marathon, and I pulled out my student alto from my locker in the band room. I forgot my regular piece, so I dusted off my old C* because it was with my student alto.

: (

I don't remember it being that uncomfortable. I've been playing on bigger pieces long enough for this thing to feel really small.

My soprano piece never feels this uncomfortable.

-currently having troubling hitting the really low notes.
-I would also appriciate some tips on improving my tone oh! and vibrato.
