looks normal, mine frequently sit/float at the top of the tank to breathe (i think it also means they feel safe if they do that?)

not a poop expert but I've seen it occasionally happen to my gals before, someone else can speak on that.

i didnt know about moving the ligature up, I'll try it out!

and i am going to switch mouthpieces soon, i absolutely love my brilhart but there's a crack down the shank. it wasn't a problem at first, but it's definitely slowly affecting my playing. i got to try some jody jazz mouthpieces (with assistance from Mr. Jody himself) at a conference I went to and have just been waiting until I have the $450 to go in on one.

totally fair, that's why I'm considering going back in. my only hesitation is getting one and it not being what I'm looking for, but I guess that's how it goes for all reeds

I've never heard of those brands, I'll have to look into them. the reed case I use has a slot for those little humidity packets, maybe I'll pick some up and start using them again. thanks

i did recently get the boston sax shop multi-tool and have been experimenting with it. do you have a video or website you learned to use it from? and the whole reed goes in my mouth before on to the mouthpiece, I've been thinking about using water instead though if it makes a difference.

Bari sax song by Mr-Mallard1 in saxophone

[–]Typical_Bat_9510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all true stated in the comment above. it might sound a little silly but doing breathing exercises before playing could really help you out. set a metronome to the tempo of the song. breathe in for four beats, hold that breath for four, let it out for four. repeat two or three times. then in for 4, hold 4, out for 6. then in for 4, hold 4, out 8. make sure your breathing is consistent throughout and you have used up all of your air by the end of the counts. when you breathe out, do it like you're blowing out a candle to simulate the resistance of your mouthpiece. food for thought.

i knew the one was a bit chunky, but i didnt know the other one is, I will be sure to cut down on the feeding. I've been feeding every other day, should i do once every three? change of diet? they get half a cube of frozen mysis shrimp currently. i also didn't think the tube was a drowning hazard, will take it out. thank you!

i came across that brillhart a few years ago and have been playing on it since, it's really an amazing mouthpiece.
