<< How does your Concerto do as far as achieving different colors on the
instrument? I've played them quite a bit and I've always had problems in
this
area and most people I've talked to who DO play them have agreed. I'm just
curious to see what your personal experience has been. Thanks.

-----I havent had any problems changing tone colors on my Concerto. It could
be your mouthpiece -it's possible itss not a good combination with the
Concerto. I acheived bright, dark, mellow, jazz, and other types of colors,
from "baroque" texture to modern. I use an Ignatius N. Gennusa mouthpiece,
BG Revelation ligature, and Grand Concert Thick reeds.
