 Re: Mouthpiece question

As an oboist first, and saxophonist second...it sounds like you're using too much embouchure pressure. What mouthpiece pitch do you get if you play with just the mouthpiece and reed? Aim for A 880. If you're getting much higher than this, you're bitting.

As far as mouthpieces, what mouthpiece facing are you using, and what reed and strength?
