| Re: Asymmetric Woes
I realy like mine, but I have been playing it for a while now. For me it just starts to come alive above the staff. I used to switch back and forth between my Bach 3C and my lead 342 but the more I have played it the better I have been able to play even down low. So now I no longer switch I just play the lead 342 all the time on my trumpet I just got a cornet so if I need something a little softer I'll just switch horns. I did get the other 3C+544 but I am not that happy with it it uses a smaller upper rim and straighter lower wedge so it feels much smaller so it makes playing lower harder for me it does have a nice warm sound but it's just too tight. If I want to spend a lot of time playing it I'm sure I could work it out but instead I have decided to just stay with the lead 342. I think they are a great mouthpiece but you do need to play it a while to realy learn to play it correctly. I don't thing my range increaced much if at all but it did help my endurance.
