The Stage 1 mouthpiece - Page 2

Clarence · 11-10-2005, 05:00 PM

i have big chops as well,
at first i thought it was shallow as well, but then having that double rim really set,s it off!

I ordered one and liked it but I liked my Reeves 42M better and before I sent it back I had my wife try it. She said it was the best mouthpiece by far that she had ever tried. so Felix made another sale. I will have to say it does have a beautiful sound and she also complimented it by saying the intervals were easier and sounded great in both the upper or lower registers. Dave

Glad you guys and girls like it.
Any more thoughts?

What is a concise attack exactly? I understand clean... but the definition of concise is more or less "clear and succinct".... so, you mean that you have clear and clear attacks? I am not patronizing you or anything. I just want to know exactly what your opinion is and your methodology behind using such a specific term as "concise". Maybe that is a desirable sounding attack that I should look into.

I've had it for a few weeks now. I let some of my friends play on it and lol, poor guys, they want one now too. I just find that it is so easy to play and manipulate. Highs and lows I have no problem controlling in terms of volume (loud AND SOFT) and range (pedals to doubles). In all my searches I always find myself going back to my trusy Bach 3C... but man Felix, great job on this one. The Stage 1 and the 3C are the only pieces I carry with me to most gigs. Thnxs again for your work.

Bear,Why don't you leave that 3C at home?

Bear · 11-19-2005, 06:21 PM

lol, lack of faith prolly... It's a crutch or security blanket I guess....

Teddy Bear <--HAHAHA

OK,got you.

BTW, there is a new model of Stage 1 Bb Trumpet in works,"Vintage" or "USA",not sure of the name yet.I am getting prorotypes next week.
Completely different from all of my previous models,very traditional looking horn,with a very traditional price tag as well.
You want to give it a blow for fun?

Bear · 11-19-2005, 06:43 PM

I don't mind givin' it a blow, but I must tell you: I'm in love with my Zues line horns and I've played on a bunch of Monettes. But sure, I'll give the axe a ride.

NYTC · 11-19-2005, 06:50 PM

Ah,I see,you've played Monettes.
There is no way back after trying a Monette.

I would really like to try one,never did I have a chance to.
Who over here has one to share with me for a bit?I will trade it for Eclipse for a couple weeks.
