Re: Air pressure

Paul is dead on. I have a friend who performs throughout the world, and he had to perform in Peru (I think?) at 8000+ ft. He went with a more open mouthpiece and a much softer reed.

I’m in central Virginia (~450 ft) and frequently find myself performing in the blue ridge mountains (~1000-1700ft)...and I use a softer reeds when I’m in the mountains.

Having said that — I haven’t noticed the same issue with the synthetics that I now use, but I’m also not changing a really significant altitude.
