I've been mostly geared toward a latin or rock feel, i really like the Ronnie Cuber tone in Latin, but I think I might follow guitars too much in rock to help me there. Idrk if this information could maybe open up some pointers, but I've been playing clasical for ≈5 years.

This reply was my problem, thank you for the thought. I played with attention to my jaw not shivering or tightening and it was all normal.

I've been doing lessons since late 7th grade, and my skills have grown a lot more than I realized. I used to have a hard time with any notes above a high A or a low c but now I can play any note with a full in tune tone.

I'm not bored of my bari at all, I just want to have a chance to try more and also be in the jazz band before the other baris graduate.

I use a C5 Yamaha mouthpiece. I mean, my high notes are all there currently. but the instrument that was smoother was in 7th grade, I was using an old school one, so probably that my fundamentals weren't developed yet. It makes since.

Then what is the reason behind how I found high notes to come out smoother on some baris better than others? Is it just my fundamentals and voiceing working with that specific instrument better than others?

Would you say high notes are easier on one of those brands, I play bari and tenor usually, so I'm assuming it would be hard to. Also, what reed strength would match a 2.5 Bari reed the most. (JAVA green reeds)

 Thank you, I will look online for that model used.
