I share your observation with more down the bore and spray from the Csharp
(LH pinky) key. I believe the problem is mainly in the production of saliva
rather than reed or mouthpiece. Just become adroit at removing and wiping
the reed or using cigarette papers - at least you don't have to swab
frequently.

Subject: [kl] Spit leakage on mouthpiece

Hi

I've noticed that during when I play (especially later on into a rehearsal),
I
have spit that leaks on the outside of my mouthpiece where the reed
connects. I
know this happens on my Bb/A (Vandoren 5RV 13 mpc w/ Optimum ligature); I
haven't taken the time to pay attention to see if this happens on the others

(eefer/bass/alto sax).

Could this be a reed problem, a mouthpiece problem, or both? I'm looking to
buy
a new mouthpiece (Vandoren M15 I'm thinking) to see if I can get a better
setup
with the thick reeds I play on (56 Rue LePic #4). But, since they're pricey,
I
need a good excuse to buy a new one.

One of these days when I get some time, I'l take a moment to introduce
myself
(limited time on library Internet, ugh).

Thanks! :)

Rachel
