What I mean is that the resistance is a bit too much and therefore is more difficult to "bend" the musical line.I don´t know if that fact is related to the quite concentrated and focused sound quality the instrument has,which allows me to blend better with my colleagues in the orchestra.I own another Marigaux 901 which is brighter but more flexible,and it can speak more easily than the new one with less air flow.But,again,the instrument was bought 5 months ago...hope it will soften a bit.Ken Shaw wrote:
