Tenor Sax Reed on Alto Sax M.P.Hi Everybody For a long time now I've been trying to get that certain tone on my alto Sax. I am more than happy with my playing, but sometimes it lacks that je ne sais quoi. The brighter tone that I would like, never seems to come easy if at all. Now my Tenor Sax is so easy to get for me. which got me thinking what if ........I put a tenor reed on my Alto M.P. So, I found a tenor Reed and, to be honest to all the Plasticoat Haters yea you guessed!!! that is what I chose. One lick of the reed { habit ) I secured it to a Vandoren V16 A8 with a nice Vandoren Brass Lig to secure it. at the time I was blowing along with Candy Dulfer's Video ... Still I love You. I've almost got it off. with my new setup in place I started the video again..... Well I could not believe what I was hearing, my tone was so close to hers, not too bright not too soft. Ive not experimented yet, but my bottom notes were so easy to blow, in fact from bottom bflat up 2 octaves, It was fantastic. Im going to keep on this setup for a while yet. Has anyone else tried this
I must note the reed fitted beautifuly a bit long but heh works for me
