| Re: Heavyweight Mouthpiece For some players including myself, switching to megatone will make dynamics a bit tougher. You will have a tendency to play too loud. What I did to remedy this was use the Earl D. Iron's book. My megatone was custom made for me(goldplated rim\Satin finish bore) and it is a 1 for size.
I will be honest with you. It took me nearly 2 months to learn how to use and now my sound has never been so deep, so controlled dynamically etc.. I had to sit by my electric piano and buzz the pitches to figure out where they were. I would start on Concert f and move down chromatically to the f below that. Then eventually I was able to produce some very clear pedal tones.
Just remember that if you do make the change, you must do longtones and longtone interval changes to get used to it. |
