Dear whoever,
I recently got a Selmer Paris Metal Jazz mouthpiece.
It is a C**,
I`ve been trying to play it with a Vandoren size 3 but for some reason I have been unable to play notes from the high G and down.
So I switched to a 2 1/2 but it is still doing that. Any advice would be fine. Please help...
Please keep in mind, I have been playing for 5 years but I am not very smart when it comes to different kinds of mouthpieces and it is also my very first time ever using a metal mouthpiece.

Hey guys i`ve been playing on a metal mouth piece for about 15 yrs. now. All I can say is keep plugging away at it. It takes some time to go from plastic to metal. Using a softer reed for now might be best until you are used to it. They take a lot of air so get your lungs ready. Good luck!
