Hi! I would like to know if anyone using a Curry TF mouthpiece has experienced any problems in going back to playing a more traditional depth mouthpiece after some time playing the TF. I play a Curry 1 1/4 TF and when I go back to a regular Curry 1 1/4 C my tone becomes airy, I experience a double buzz toward the bottom of the staff, and tend to bottom out at times. I know bottoming out should not be a problem with a 1 1/4 C. So, am I making a drastic change in my embouchure by playing the TF that screws up my more legit embouchure?[/img]
