You know that whole pencil thing is kinda tuff. My co-workers look at me funny when they walk by my cube in the office and see me working with a pencil sticking out from my mouth straining to keep it horizontal and grunting.

All in the name of a Double High "C"

Just be thankful you don't have to do the reverse exercises (pulling out rather than pushing in)
I do them while driving and if I have to stop at lights I get very funny looks.

Mind you the exercises plus the quite playing and the tongue level work has made a huge difference to my reliability as a player.

I have played a 3D on my Bb for ages and recently went to a 3B. It gives me a much deeper sound. (duh?) I have played a 7E on my picc for years. I recently started trying the Vizzutti Marcinkowiez on the picc. Man does it ever increase my range. I was pushing for G's on the 7E, and I've got easy A's on the Vizzutti. But the sound doesn't have the depth that the 7E has. Do you suppose that I can learn to produce a deeper sound with the Vizzutti?

Manny, the avatar thing is starting to bend my mind. I'm starting to check the forum just to see who you will be today.

My teacher lent me a BP5

It works great. I used to play on a b15m.

I wounder if he will make me pay for the mouthpiece at the next lesson.

I was playing on an AP1-5 with the Kanstul (F. Besson) piccolo I was using and did okay. When I tried the same mouthpiece with my larger bore Schilke picc I found the that the upper register really sagged. I just had to work too hard to keep the pitch up where it needs to be. I have since spoken with Dean Comley at Monette and he recommended I try an AP4-LD mouthpiece. This will give me a smaller rim with a fairly shallow cup that has been deepened just a bit to preserve some warmth to the sound. I am to have the mouthpiece delivered in a couple of weeks. I sure hope it works out!
