Wow, Crazy, I will try to look at overblowing , Wow
what brand of mouthpiece you are using mr.Clark
Beechler Belite.
Is that a beechler bellite mouthpiece? If so, how is it and did you hard a hard time getting used to it?
Yes it is. It's a custom 7 that's been opened up just a bit. I've played one since I was 14, so it doesn't really take much getting used to for me, however I switch between other mouthpieces a lot, and I have no trouble going back and forth.
@@randalclarkmusic4333 ok i was planning to buy one but everyone kept saying that it's a hard piece to play and they usually get rid of it.
@@sp33dyg82 it’s all about getting the reed strength right. It is not as “easy” as some others, but it is but no means resistant or hard. That tiny bit of resistance is what gives it its characteristic sound. Some people love it, others don’t. All personal.
It’s a little more narrow than most other mouthpieces, that throws some people off. It doesn’t bug me.
@@randalclarkmusic4333 ok thank you for clarifying that.
Brazil love u
What mouthpiece could I get to achieve a better playing of altissimo notes for my alto sax ?
What mouthpiece are you playing now? Altissimo should be achievable on almost any mouthpiece.
@@randalclarkmusic4333 a yamaha 5c
SHOW!!!
I cannot go over D#, I lose the " grip " on my reed when I try to reach the E, does using harder reeds may help ? Or should I just get used to my normal strength of reed to reach it ?
It depends, what mouthpiece and reed strength are you using now?
@@randalclarkmusic4333 Jumbo Java A45 with Legere American cut 2.5.
I think that’s around a .87 to opening. A 2.5 is probably enough, however it’s also a long facing mouthpiece. Sometimes a long facing needs a little bit stiffer reed. Possible that the reed is slightly too stiff too if your voicing is incorrect. I’d experiment with reed strength. If you’re still having trouble, that’s probably an issue with your voicing in that range, or embochure setup.
@@randalclarkmusic4333 Ok, thank you !
and what size or number
This is a Beechler Custom Belite 7 in this video
