Hole 1 louder that the others
Hello,
On my low F Rocket, before recording myself I had not realized that hole 1 was much louder than the others. When playing a chord or an octave, the result is unbalanced in favor of hole 1.
If it was only together with 2 or 3 draw, I would suspect I still have progress to make in enhancing those tones, but it also happens in octave with hole 4 or in blowing.
I like the sound of hole 1. I just wonder if it being louder is usual for a low F? On David's recording for "Sonny's bird", for example, I don't hear this.

Hello, I was not sure about this, but here is my take for the moment:
- Hole 1 is not too sharp.
- I do not yet have gauges to check the reed gap.
BUT I suspect it may be my technique, after all, even involving hole 4, because I have found a new kind of tongue position that seems to partly correct this. Only partly -- but I will explore this area before touching the reed settings...
I'll come back here then (and when I have feeler gauges to check the gap).
Thanks!
Good plan. Thank you Eric
