Re: Airy Sound

Which reeds (brand, model) do you use?

I also play the BD5 and know that it has some tendency to sound airy under some circumstances. At the same time (when I started with the BD5) I deceided to use stronger reeds, 3.5 instead of 3.0. The airy sound only occured with (some) stronger reeds, in particular when new, and when my embourchure is tired or my diaphragm support too weak.

Since some months I am quite happy with Vandoren V21 3.5 reeds and hardly have a airy sound.
