Re: Gennusa Exellente and projection

Bob, Thank you for the offer. I'm going to work with what I've got for now.

I think I needed another reed. The Gennusa is a dark piece, and the Gonzalez FOF probably weren't the best match. I love Gonzalez reeds, but the Grand Concert are working better. I don't like them as much, since they aren't as consistent, and don't last as long for me, but I'll try some others.

I think the piece also needed more air. I just wasn't blowing hard enough to get FFF. I'm loosening up my embouchure as well, which I can do with harder reeds, and it's working for me. I might like something a little brighter, but I love the way the Gennusa responds over all the registers.
