| Re: Playing on new mouthpieces I have no experience with LOUD mouthpieces, however I do know this: the shallow cup will not increase your range. It will brighten your sound. A brighter sound tends to cut through more easily, making you have to work less to project over the band. The thing that will increase your range is hours in the practice room. There is no magic mouthpiece...
