Re: Why do I sound awful?

AP, I would submit that you shouldn't purchase new equipment until you have had a lesson or two with a private instructor. For a few reasons:

- You admit that your embouchure "isn't great" and your technique is "rusty." If the foundations of playing aren't there, then no equipment will be of benefit.

- It would be unfortunate to spend your hard-earned money on equipment that may or may not work for you in an attempt to solve the problem.

- Plus, it's frustrating to make purchase after purchase with little improvement, and playing the instrument should be enjoyable, not frustrating. :-)

Look into visiting with a reputable teacher, and here's hoping you hear progress soon!
