I think I am going to have to go to the technician for opinion. I have 3 mouthpieces and on all these newest reeds I can do the first lower register fairly well for a few times but then it turns into lots of very high pitched squeals for no obvious reason. Tried double lip, single lip, moved mouthpiece up and down, tightened, loosened, re-greased joints. Tried soaking 5-10 minutes or lightly wetting. Room humidity is around 25% on my Acurite. Have gone back to the original buffet E11 OEM mouthpiece and using 2.5 and 3 reeds. Cannot seem to get rid of the squealing and run out of things to try. Have handled instrument very carefully but being 5 years old without hard use could need a tech checkup by now. I have all my original reeds and plan to try some of them first but am running out of ideas. Never been this bad. In fact before I learned I think it was better.
