| Re: CKB Accoustic- Balance Trumpet or Cornet mouthpieces
A very good student of mine came in with one yesterday---it was a 1C trumpet one. He always had a lovely "musical" sound on his Bach 3C, and when he opened up on the Arutunian, I almost had to leave the room! This piece had effectively changed his sound to white noise. We then did a series of exercises and compared his old 3C to this newcomer. I think these pieces go from a leaden dull sound from mf to pp and very quickly change to stainless steel and then on to aluminum foil above ff! Trouble is they bypass brass, bronze, or gold totally. Needless to say, I wasn't very impressed. |
