Julian Klimczyk If you’re going to go with one of the Xymox pads and can afford it, try to get the new tenor kicks if those are up your ally. I can’t afford one of them and I’m interested to know what other people think of them.
American all the way. French is too wrist limiting and there are too many trade offs for it to be worth it. Some teachers say it is acceptable in certain scenarios but I think those scenarios are too broad. Great question. I have a video on this very topic coming soon :)

Yes, it is made of recycled rubber. Prologix is going in an eco-friendly direction with it's production and getting away from laminate is part of that vision.
This channel has been helping me a a lot I am a new tenor player for my hs

Steven, what are your thoughts on French vs. American grip on tenors? What were you taught by your teachers?
