Re: 63mm barrel for Yamaha Custom CX

I'll be out of town for a bit. On tour, however whenever the upper notes go a bit flat sometimes it's related to reeds that are just a bit too soft. I'll try to stop in if I can. Try using a half strength harder reed if you can. Let us know if this helps at all. Often the lower notes don't go flat but the upper notes might. If you can record yourself playing half notes up the register this will help us readers perhaps decide if it's the horn, the barrel, or maybe your something with your mouth muscle formation. Are you making an E or an O sound with your embouchure? Both? Too much of an O can cause the notes to go flat. Yet an E isn't correct either. It's complicated. Perhaps check out Lee Gibson on youtube. He is a really gifted player and talks about this a bit.
