That´s the same with spectacles. If you clean them, but the towel has just a minimum of grease from your fingers probably, you will have a light rainbow effect on the spectacles. = -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If the mouth piece is more or less corresponding with the instrument, THE PLAYER HAS TO ADAPT HIS LIPS (better said: has to get his lips used to the mouthpiece) TO THE MOUTHPIECE. Admitted, there are some better designed mouth pieces today than in the past. Better designed means here that some

But, William, how about the sound quality of the low notes if played on the F alto ? All overtones gone ? It is a fact that the F alto just sounds as the main tone without all co-sounding overtones. But it can be precise, off course. The Bb side is better for technical things in the low range,
