Choosing A New Headjoint

Searching for the "perfect" headjoint can become an incurable disease! Many people know that they are unhappy with their present headjoint but don't really know why; they then end up trying hundreds of headjoints and never really know which is an improvement and which isn't. Make sure you know which facets of your sound and response are lacking, seek advice if you're not sure, then concentrate on headjoints which improve these aspects without losing the things which you DO like. Second opinions are always useful, but do remember that YOU have to play on the headjoint so don't choose one that you aren't happy with just because someone else likes the sound.
