Chipping Bari Reeds over and overHi, this is my first post on this forum or any forum. and its because im desperate. I played bari for 2 years in middle school and now im a freshman in highschool and the BD asked me to play bari in jazz band. Anyways, Im go through reeds at a crazy pace. I dont know what Im doing. They reeds are usually tearing down the middle. not chipping just tearing. then after it tears it will usually chip off. Ive gone through 5 reeds in two weeks. and as you probably know bari reeds are pretty pricey. i dont have this problem on my alto as my reeds last atleast a month. Im desperate for an answer. I've asked one of the older sax players he said i must be hitting the reed on something but that doesnt make sense since its not chipping. my thought was that Im tounging in a weird way and some how breaking the reed. I thought i might of gotten just a bad batch of reeds so i ordered some more from a different brand and the same thing happened. I play strength 3 if anyone was wondering. Thank you for any tips or ideas. |
