Hi Shannon, guess who? It is Zych! You have a beautiful sound but I
do understand where you are coming from. I to play on a Johnston H4 mouth-
piece, and the same reeds>
I try to take one step at a time. You use a
Rovner ligature, correct? You really have to be consious about your air stream.
I know that sounds kind of vague but it is where my problem is because
I have a problem getting a clear focused tone in that register. Stay open
and keep your throat consistent throughout each register. Let's just say
I am still working on it so if you by chance figure out something let me
know because we are in the same boat sweetie!
