I have been fidling around with my alto sax.

What If I turn my alto sax mouth piece up side down?

Will this help me?

Go to your local music store and buy an oboe reed.

you just like to get your points up, eh ?

Today for the first time I actually paid attention to the reeds use by oboists
during the annual basson & oboe bash here in Brisbane.

They are quite tiny I find. I'd be scared breaking them. The kids didn't seem to have such
problems though and were happily quacking on those oboes.

Was great, over 20 bassoons and over 20 oboes, some english horns and a contra bassoon.

Makes me older beginner amateur humble though, some of these kids are awesome.

Back to practice !

Cheers
James

ps : It's NEVER too late
