| Mouthpiece jargon
It was suggested to me today that I research and experiment with some mouthpieces. My front lip seems to protrude somewhat, and my director (also a trumpet player) feels that it would be valuable to experiment with a piece with a deeper cup and maybe a wider rim, as it might help me obtain my desired tone a little easier (sometimes my tone seems to fuzz out a little, but the fact that I CAN play with a good tone most of the time makes me thinnk it's not entirely me.) Obviously, I agree that it would be good to do this, or I wouldn't be asking the next question, lol....He suggested checking into some Schilke or Yamaha pieces as he thought they made some pieces with rims and cups that I might find easier to work with. However, when reading the specs. for their pieces, I instantly become confused and almost spontaneously combusted. So anyone have any suggestions for any pieces to experiment with? I'm open to any auggestions (of any brand). Right now I'm playing on a Curry 3C. Thanks.. |
