Re: Reed/Mp Setup for Bulgarian Music

Author: reed_squawk  Date:   2003-10-24 15:55 hmmm...after reading this post yesterday, last night I broke out my 5jb, which had been shelved for some time after I (desiring a more lyrical tone ala Rostaing) got my V B40, and also broke out a thinner reed (been using V12 3's on the B40). WOW! I could really make the thing HONK! But, it seemed to sound more like an Alto sax, where Papsov still has the deep woody cl sound...I'm of couse sure it has nothing to due with the fact that he's -great-, and I -suck- I did notice that where the Bb and B, C notes have been stuffy (B & C) or buzzy (the Bb) using my B40, they rang loud and clear with the 5jb and the thinner reed...strange... The main problem I ran into, was trying to go to the higher notes...seemed like I would 'pinch' the thin reed too much, causing it to stop vibrating alltogether...I guess it is a whole diff. approach to embochure these guys use for these thinner reeds???
