Barb,

It sounds like you have a mouthpiece with a facing which is WAY too open for an advanced player like yourself. Your eb mouthpiece facing should be very similar to the facing on your Bb mouthpiece.

It sounds like you're trying to play advanced stuff on a beginner's mouthpiece.

All I can tell ya without looking at it.
