Need help switching mouthpieces

blueicedj · 09-26-2009, 10:23 PM

I'm going to be getting a new mouthpiece and I've decided I either want a Monette B2 S3 PRANA, which is the same as a 1 1/4c, or a Monette B3 PRANA, which is the same as a 1 1/2c. Currently I play on a 1 1/2c. The b2 s3 sounds better to me only because of the description. I'm just wondering if I would loose range changing to the 1 1/4c from the 1 1/2c or if it'd just give me a nicer concert sound. Thanks for the input.

The BEST thing you can do is call Monette and ask their advice.

There is nothing we can help you with or advis you on on this forum.

You can speak with the experts at Monette.

What Chuck said. The Monette folks are very helpful and know their stuff.
