Re: Large Bore - Articulation problems
The problem seems to be that I can only articulate fast and cleanly when playing very quietly, as soon as I start blowing freely there`s a lack of sync between fingers and articulation that isn`t usually there...
The baffle is removable, but I`ve been hesitating since it was set up by a pro mpc technician, and I just love the sound. The problem doesn`t happen with a Bari 66 ebonite, but I don`t like the sound so much, plus the intonation is hard work on that mpc which feels too open for me.
I`m playing abroad as I write, so don`t have any other mpc`s to compare with, and no decent sax shops around until I get home next week - trouble is I`ve got 4 important gigs coming up here in the Edinburgh Festival and would like to sort this out asap.
I think the only solution, as you suggest, may be to remove the baffle... and pray. I suppose this will increase resistance and slow down the air stream - but I`ll have a darker sound than I had :(
Thanks for listening
