Re: First-time Pit Band Gig. Any Tips?

WRT sax mouthpieces. I don't recommend the selmer C* for the following reason:
I play yamaha saxes and my S80 C* only seems to be able to play at A440 when it's pushed in all the way. This doesn't leave room to go up in pitch if the overall pitch of the ensemble goes up. Furthermore, when I play in a pit situation, I frequently have to pick up a cold horn and if the mouthpiece only plays at A440 when the horn is warmed up, I'll always be flat on a cold instrument. That's why I prefer to use a sharper mouthpiece for doubling.
