 Re: Playing on the Tip/Reed Style

Hey vboboe,

Actually, to play way on the tip the very tip of the reed needs to be super-thin. I would say the problem is that the reed is missing enough internal strength to keep it from collapsing. This could be from the cane/reed simply being old, a gouge thing, or lack of rails or a spine. Who knows! Also, remember that when playing on the tip you can afford to be really relaxed and just blow a lot. Maybe it's lip pressure that's causing the reed to close down? Maybe you're used to using lip pressure and that's what's causing it. Who knows! :P

That weird feeling of feeling like there's nothing in your mouth is normal, try to get used to it. If it's still feeling really weird after a long time, try taking a *tiny* bit more reed in. Unfortunately, there is no real substitute for a godo teacher to help you with this.

Good luck! Let me/us know how it goes.

Graham
