Hey Tony -
Thanks for sharing that information! It is always fascinating to find out how the true professionals warm-up and how they choose to spend their time depending on what their playing day brings to them.
So, from my understanding you do this particular routine twice--once on your Bach 5B and then again using your Monette B5LM. Are those two mouthpiece comparable or do you consider them to be different? My main mouthpiece is the Monette B4L, but I like to switch to the Monette B4 in a practice session to achieve a darker, warmer sound. Do you think that if a trumpet player decides to use two mouthpieces (which you do not “condone” but may be hard if you are playing a variety of styles) that they should at least perform some of their routine using both of them? How do you select one mouthpiece for all types of playing? Do you have any suggestions?
