yeah, tru re cane… it makes a substantial difference, huge, that i dont have to take the reed off mp every dang time to get it wet, to play… i’m becoming a better sax player because its here on the stand next to me and i can just pick it up and play instantly. plus im even finally getting a growly sound (you motivate me a lot, ur growly tone is outstanding), plus hi notes way easier, using copper carbon classic 2.5. many thx
