Re: playing time
Sounds like a combination of things. If you haven't played in a while and you're just getting back into it, you need to work on your emboucher again. It will all come back to you in time. Second, I would try a 2 or 2 1/2 reed instead of the 3 1/2, and I would not recommend a filed (french cut) reed. I haven't had the best luck with Vandoren V16's either. Go with a Med. soft LaVos, or even a plain old orange box Rico. Finally, what mouthpiece are you using? You may want to choose a different facing.
