| Hey all,
A short version ( question ) of that long post is - Does a mouthpiece have a " sweet spot " and if so, is that so-called " very efficient slot" always in-tune , ( answer no ) , and would it really help your playing efficiency if it was in-tune?
Mind you, you have to be a player of a certain level and sensitivity to make this assessment to begin with. For me, the mouthpiece I play the most and like the best, when I buzz it to try to find the best sound and fattest pitch, once it locks in to the ' Sweet Spot" that's inherent to it's design , it's right on the money in-tune.
With all that said, I just realized that if the mouthpiece buzzes in tune then it's my trumpet that built out of tune because it certainly can't be the only other variable in the mix, me, right?
