As the mouthpiece that came with the saxophone is just a bog standard one I was advised to upgrade. Back to the shops I go!
I found a great video on YouTube - Upgrading Your First Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece although that just confused me even more, too much choice. I popped into JG Windows for some advice and based on the description I went for the A17 V5 Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece, I guess back to the Vandoren reeds?
Perfect in every register, with a rich sound
