Equipment/ trumpet issues

mattcraig06 · 12-06-2006, 07:56 PM

Hey tony,

I have been trying to play on the shew yamaha stuff (lead+jazz). I love the jazz, I like my sound and it's a very comfortable piece. At first I couldn't play on the shew lead at all, than for a few days my high chops were the best the have ever been on the lead (sound wise)! My sound was huge compared to normal! However, now I am having some issues playing that shallow piece. I was wondering if you have any tips for getting used to a piece like that as well as how long you suggest trying before giving up? I like the feel, just not the bottoming out or double buzz effect! Thanks

MattCraig06 -

If you are bottoming out, you may need a larger cup. If the rim seems to be working, maybe exploring some slightly deeper cups will help. See what is available with the same rim:

Playing softly on your lead mouthpiece (in all registers) might be a good way to work into it. Concentrate on producing as warm a sound as possible in the middle register. Give yourself a few weeks. If you are still bottoming out, try something a tad larger (cup only).

Good luck -
Tony
