I play alto sax and lately, I've been experiencing a lot of squeaking
when I go into my highest D, E, and F. Occasionally my middle D will
squeak once in a while too. I haven't been noticing this since I
opened a new box of reeds (Vandoren 2 1/2). I soaked my reed in my
mouth about 20 minutes prior to playing on it the first time, but
after just hearing a bunch of squeaks I kept it in longer. I never
experienced this problem with my older reed (same brand and strength).
I use a Vandoren A27 mouthpiece and a Rovner ligature, if that
matters. What can I do to stop it from squeaking?
