RE: What's the right mouthpiece bite?

The more of the mouthpiece you 'bite' the harder it is to control the sound but the sound will be larger. You have to strenghten the muscles by practicing long tones every day. You should be able to blow easily throughout the range, so you have to choose the reed which makes this possible. It may be a large bore mouthpiece which requires a weaker reed...anywhere from a 1-1/2 on up. I have found the VanDoren to be a very good reed especially for jazz. Good luck.
