Re: Jazz and classical setups

I always use the same mouthpiece/reed setup but I don't necessarily recommend this. I recommend to think more "globally", meaning do what you need to achieve what you want/need to achieve. I'm not sure how to explain but to give an extreme example, sometimes a "bad tone" is a good tone. For anything I've played so far and I managed to do with the setup I use. If I ever find I want to do something that is, for whatever reason, only possible with a different setup then I might change for that purpose. I do change the "instrument setup" to achieve different things that are impossible, for example remove the lower joint, to do things that are otherwise impossible to do. So don't just follow a recipe, do what you need to achieve what you want.
