I'm interested to know what other Eefer players use in the way of barrel & mouthpiece set-up and for some advice on the various pros & cons.
There's a lot of dialogue on the BB about barrel improvements to help tuning consistency throughout the instrument, but I've not seen any specialist Eb barrels advertised in any of the stores I've looked at.
I know tuning problems are part & parcel of eefer play, but as well as making the most of lips, diaphragm & ears to improve the pitch, I wonder whether there are any technical improvements I can make. [I'm finding it particularly hard to get any effective use from my diaphragm during pregnancy and feeling that I'm playing flat all the time isn't really helping my confidence!]
My instrument is a B&H Imperial, with its original barrel and a Vandoren 5RV mouthpiece (for which it recommends #2 reeds).
All suggestions (other than ditching the eefer) gratefully received.
