In this video we explore simple techniques to improve reed response, projection, and playability. Using the BetterSax Geeklet, we demonstrate quick adjustments that can make any saxophone reed more consistent and responsive. These refinements help you get a clearer sound, better attack, and a more effortless playing experience. If you’ve ever struggled with reeds feeling too stiff or unresponsive, this video will show you how a few small tweaks can make a big difference.
