It seems as though my Yamaha ycl 250 is getting harder to blow. Yesterday I sat down to practice and air started leaking from my lips almost immediately. I have been rotating a half dozen Mitchell Lurie 2 1/2 reeds. One person from this forum tells me to tighten up my embouchure, another says I shouldn't have to. I'm using single lip and I have an upper full denture. From researching mouthpieces the only conclusion I come to is that everybody's lips, mouth, gums, teeth are different. I can't afford to deposit money with a dealer to try out different mouthpieces. I'm 71 and in good health. I'm buying a new mouthpiece, ligature and synthetic reed in the next couple of days, and I won't bother saying which brand and model, because I am not interested in hearing from naysayers. I believe it will be better than the used Yamaha that is on the instrument now. I'd like to hear from others with similar experience
