| I prefer the rim everyone hates, the jagged one with the saw-teeth that will tear apart any trumpeter's lips, the rim you could break an egg or a diamond on it's so sharp, the rim of my large-lettered Bach 7C. It's the rim that forces me to play with the least pressure and use the most embouchure strength and greatest airstream. As a result, I generally sound the best on that mouthpiece. |
