| Endurance and range can be related to your mouthpiece but not to the size, to the match.
You can't play something too big for you because you'll be huffing and puffing and trying to stuff your lips into the cup and you'll be out of steam in no time. On the other end, if you mouthpiece is too small you may hit a few extra high notes but after playing for a little bit your chops might swell a little and you'll be bottoming out before you know it. And obviously, finding a good mouthpiece match won't give you X number of hours of endurance, it'll just make things easier and reduce the general struggle of things. Endurance is based on your ability.
If the 10c is working for you then why not play it all the time? Because it doesn't sound good? What about the 1c? If it sounds great but you can't last long enough then you have to make a decision. You have to play the mouthpiece that feels great and sounds great and deal with range and endurance after. |
