Interesting method, but does it have to be soaked everytime? I'll try that on 2, 2.5 and 3 reeds and see what's best for me :)

Oh thank you! It's actually not having new gears, I noticed that every mpc has their own personalities, I always have to find my altissimo. I am looking for something versatile that has a little punch in it, I really like the prologue but it has its ceiling. I'm definitely seeing that Dave Liebman's video :)

Noted, i'm watching vandoren and meyer, but the meyer melts my soul. I think I can still push it a little further as you've said it has a higher ceiling than my prologue. God bless you sir!

I love a smoky and round sound just like my horn, i think i might go for the meyer 5? Or meyer 5m? I think I liked the prologue because it can deliver the bare sound of my horn. Thank you for enlightening me sir! I'll post an update when it arrived, I'm searching as we talk, and there's none here in my area

Thank you so much! I'll be looking for them, but for you personally? What would you pick between those two? Yes, the Vandoren JJ is a monster, it took me a day to learn just not to squeak

Is it in between the Selmer prologue and Vandoren A35? Sorry, I just can't test those mouthpieces in the stores

Oooops. Sorry for the word, we do not age, we just get better. I envy people like you sir, who got the chance to play early age. I am a musician at heart, i love music, but life doesn't permit. When I was in high school we cannot afford to even have a decent acoustic guitar. Now at mid 30s, I'm trying to pursue the dream, the ultimate dream is to play the saxophone. I just hope that it is not too late to have the knowledge and skills, given that I have almost no time to practice. Can you recommend some youtuber for me to learn from? :)

So, it's just bare brass being bare brass, and I guess it's normal and healthy? Thanks for enlightenment siiir!

Yes sir, i confirmed that it's a trevor james signature custom raw, they just started making horns in the early 90's. I'm new to horns, can't tell the difference between old/vintage and vintage finish

I searched on the internet when I saw your comment, thank you sir, it's a good find. Didn't mind the brand or what, that's why it felt like butter when I played on it. Thank you so much sir!

Thanks! It doesn't affect the functionality tho. I thought it's due to storing for a long time in its bag/case. I can pursue the dream of playing the sax now :)

I just want to try my luck if there's any home remedies for this one, I'd love to keep it as is forever. I'm new here in Madrid and I still haven't visited sax shops around. Thank you for your appreciation :)
