 Playing at altitude
Author: EaubeauHorn

My winter digs are at 2500 feet in the desert. My summer digs are at 8000 feet in the desert. The air is thinner up here, and my tone is AWFUL. Thin, strident, and...what can I do about it? I am still pretty much a beginner but was getting a decent tone down below. Up here it stinks. Given the lesser density of the air, the only thing I can think of is use more air to get the same sound, but maybe also a lower number reed?
