| a lot of times for me when i play my 1B i'm way too dark to play jazz or play in marching band. i switch between 2 mouthpieces now and i'm probably going to be getting a 3rd. I use the 1b for concert, 1.5c for all the rest. I can play about 3 notes higher on the 1.5c but my tone is a lot brighter... still not as bright as i like for lead and i can't force myself to get any brighter. All the stuff that you mentioned really does depend on the player and the music. i would reccomend trying out mps with the same rim size but a more average cup depth and see what you think... the 1B's really are deep. |
