Jordan that's fine. Gotta love Leo P. What you said is sound, but harmonic/throat glissando's an advanced technique so maybe getting a mouthpiece that's better facilitate that would be better. If you and/or your friend's playing clarinet, then ask Walter Grabner through e-mail and he could suggest a mouthpiece for you. Vandoren pieces also work for these things and they also make saxophone pieces.

The OP was that many beginners, adults too, sometimes blame their instrument for not sounding good. You have it all figured out Jordan. Since you are advanced though, you'd definitely benefit from a pro set-up. As long as you have a repaired student-intermediate horn with a decent aftermarket mouthpiece, then you have everything you'd need to facilitate your advanced playing. Well, when you can afford $40-50 on just a mouthpiece... I digress.

Fun fact: usually the quality of intermediate instruments don't justify the additional thousand dollars. Do your research before buying any instrument and make sure it's checked by a repair person when it arrives at your door.
