| Sound
Often times in reading posts (usually regarding equipment), you will read the comment "it doesn't matter what he's playing, he'd sound like that on anything". So alas, I must ask, do you feel that you can achieve your ideal sound on any equipment (although it may be more difficult than on your current set-up), or do you feel that equipment is a serious factor when considering sound concept? I ask because, although my sound is very flexible and I can color it many ways, it usually requires a good deal of effort, and I fear that in manipulating my embouchure to achieve the "dark" sound I find myself frequently striving for, that I may be sacrificing range (a major weak point for me). My apologies if this has been addressed before and I overlooked it, and many thanks for your time.
