I want a nice Flugel MP ....

gregc · 03-10-2006, 11:42 AM

I would like a Flugel MP for my Yamaha 700 series Flugel. I'd like a Bach modern 3C rim and a decent depth (something similar to the 14F4 Yammy piece). Any ideas on who or where to best acquire this would be a BIG help.
As always, thank you, Dames and Gentlemen,

I have a Yamaha 635st flugel and couldn't find a decent mouthpiece for a while. I had been playing on a Bach 1.5FL and it just didn't sound all that great. Then, I learned about the different shanks in flugels and found a Curry 1FL with the correct shank. I was amazed at, both, how much better it sounded and how much easier it was to play.

So, take a look at the Curry's, the Bach will not have the correct shank for your flugel. Look at their 3FL or 60FL as a similar size to a Bach 3C.

Yea, I know bout the shank tapers. That's why I've been palying the
Yammy pieces. I really want a Bach 3C rim though so I'
ll be looking for someone to make me a piece. I will check out the Curry stuff.
Thanks,

The Curry 3C rim is a scan of a Bach 3C.

If you want a big sound, check out Flip Oakes' mouthpieces. His flugel piece #3 has the same rim as a Curry 3, but the FO's cup is deeper and the throat is larger.
Flip offers all three shank types as well.

HI

Maybe you should go the the Kanstul site....they can make any mouthpiece you want and in any shape or form...Auggy

The Warburton 4FL is a lovely flugel mouthpiece - the 4 rim is similar to the Bach 3 rim. The GR 3FD is also good (this is what I play but I wish I had gone for the Warburton instead) it is based on a 1970's Bach 3C rim, and is a good deep funnel shape. The GR 3FL is too shallow for a flugel mouthpiece in my opinion.
