I normally play clarinet or bassoon, but I play tenor sax for our school's jazz band. Usually I can play for about twenty mintutes just fine, and then I start to squeak really bad. Sometimes I can't even play anymore. My director has checked over the saxophone, and it was okay. I've tried lots of different reeds: new reeds, older reeds, harder reeds, softer reeds. Usually the medium hard reeds are the best. A lot of my reeds quickly become wavy too. Could this be it? What do I do to prevent/cure wavy reeds? I also never really had a director teach me really good sax embochure, so any tips on that are needed and will be appreciated. Thanks!
