| Re: Mouthpiece position in the horn
I never gave this theory any merit until I was in a masterclass with Ingrid Jensen and Terell Stafford, and both said they have a "sweet spot" position for their mouthpiece. They said Bach mouthpieces were made to be inserted with the number facing the bell crook. Since then I have always inserted my mouthpiece the same way.
Do I play better? Probably not. Does it make me feel more secure. Yes!
