If this is the case you might want to try a larger tip opening of that make, or use a harder reed. If the facing length is longer on a different mouthpiece of the same tip opening, there is a good chance that you might find it more easy blowing. In reality, what this means is that just because, for instance, you are comfortable with an Otto Link 7*, you may not find that every other 7* or. Ideally to compare mouthpieces you would also want to be comparing the facing length and curve as well as the chamber size and baffle dimensions. This is because tip opening alone is only one part of the story. One important thing to be aware of is that the response you get from any two saxophone mouthpieces with the same tip opening can vary enormously.
