I probably misused "resistance." Most of the time we mean a reed's resistance to vibrating, needing more air and embouchure pressure to overcome it. I mean instead a mouthpiece that presents a smaller aperture with a reed that vibrates easily with minimal air flow. Easy-blowing might better describe it than resistant.
I'm wondering if using a very open mouthpiece with a reed that needs some embouchure pressure to control will make circular breathing harder to do than, say a close-tipped mouthpiece with a more flexible reed.
