Don't get discouraged. It doesn't take as much air, but still practice breathing. Don't break it.

Soak your reeds and use the Van Doren abrasive glass to plane the back of the reed and gradually remove the kapok that makes for a fuzzy tone. And use a tuner & metronome. Consider a better strap arrangement such as the Oleg model that rides on shoulder not neck. A trip to the shop to check pads and keys and make adjustments usually is worth the effort.

There's another video about his equipment on RU-vid

Brian Billings thx

Peter Kang super balanced action👍

And it looks to be a aftermarket neck Possibly a silver one. Had the good fortune to play a new MK VI in ‘66 with Selmer mouthpiece (didn’t pay much attention to tip openings then). Years later, on alto, had the hint to soak reeds and not merely soften them up in mouth. Then got into planing the back of the reed on Van Doren abrasive glass tool and got an immediate improvement. Mostly the improvement came in a sort of clarity. It’s easy to overdo it and several good reeds were taken too far and got ‘floppy’ and ruined. But small increments and getting a feel for the job comes with time. Obviously it requires a stiffer reed than usual in order to bring (shave) it into desired range. Meyer 5 was pretty good for alto, (SA80 Series II). Kept the choice reeds in small bottle in case in water. Used boiling water from coffee in morning to rinse and prevent funk growing. And if done that way, no problems arise. Performing would require a reedcase and I found that microscope slides with a clamp or even a rubber band work very well. But the Van Doren case holding 4 reeds is conveniently pocket-sized, and was used mostly.

It a Super Balanced Action that I bought from Jack Nimitz in 1985 and eventually sold to Joe. This is the original neck but it has been silver plated. Joe went out and found a vintage Selmer mouthpiece from the same period for the horn. (He usually played a Conn with a metal Link mouthpiece.) He was definitely not a Selmer baritone fan but occasionally borrowed this horn from me on short trips to the UK and kept bugging me to sell it to him. I don’t believe he used this Selmer horn and mouthpiece on big band gigs as he could not get enough volume but liked to play it with smaller groups.
