you can go for a wider tip anytime,
if its hard to play then drop down
reed sizes.
I started on a yamaha 4c & got up
to reed size 2. Then about 5 to 6
months later jumped to a .86 mouthpiece,
and had to go down to a 1.5 reed, after
a couple of months i got it back up to
a 2, reed wise i’m not ready to go
any higher!
