Thanks again, as I am not sure if the reed is the problem, since I used 4
and 5's as a kid.

But I will try the original Buffet Mouthpiece I have, as that is horrible.

The mouthpiece I have is a Vandoren 2RV as I think that is no longer made.
I am not expert enough to see if it warped or chipped as to me, it looks
fine, but I will take it to my shop to get there opinion. Hopefully they
will give me a honest opinion as not to sell a mouthpiece if not needed.

Mike
