| Hi bigaggietrumpet,
I played Bach C-cups all through school. Last year I was given a Monette B4LD and instantly fell in love with it. In case anything happens to my Monette, my back-up mouthpiece is (currently) a Parduba 6.
The Monette has a fuller sound. The Parduba takes less air. Articulation, etc. is similar (for me) on both pieces.
Personally, I don't necessarily consider the Parduba a "screamer" mouthpiece. Either you have the chops or you don't. But...the Parduba does have a fairly wide rim, so it can "aid" with endurance.
This is only my opinion. Take it with a grain of salt. I hope this helps. All the best. |
