Hi Johnny ..
I’ve been learning the sax now for about 8 weeks and using a 2.5 Vandoren reed on my alto .( What’s that saying where angel’s fear to tread fools rush in ) The problem is my bottom lip is red raw , I’ve got to say it looks more like an allergy to the reed . Tonight I’ve tried swapping it for a plastic covered Rico 2.5 and although my lip is still sore from last night it doesn’t feel any worse . Would appreaciate your thoughts on the matter .
Thanks Carol
