It might be your mouthpiece and reed together. Sometimes, when you get the wrong amount of resistance it doesn't sound right and tends to squeak. Either look into getting a new mouthpiece, or test a lot of different reed types and strengths out to solve the problem. If you're using the Blue box reeds, you might want to look into ZZ's or Javas, sometimes the french file cut doesn't work for people unless they go softer. Also, I've been having tone quality problems lately when I don't breathe enough, maybe that's it. -tenor562

lol...funny.....it was just fixed so that shouldn't be it but you never know....but i didn't do anything but get a new reed (same brand just i threw out my old one) and it stopped so mayby there was a nick that i didn't see, and one person i know said he may be nervous jitters since i have a competition coming up, and when i really relax its ok so i think it was that all my muscles were really tense. Well thanks everyone for all your help i will try all of your reoccomendatins. -shanz-
