Holton Heim 10 1/2c Vs Bach 3c

Rick Chartrand · 02-22-2005, 06:44 PM

Hi Guys

I just got myself a great Holton Heim 2 mouthpiece and love it. I have a concern though. I am used to playing a Bach 3c and have really developed lips. I found out just after getting the Heim that it is roughly equivilent to a 10 1/2c which is a huge difference! I just LOVE this new Heim because the notes just sing and it has litterally almost doubled my endurance to 4 hours and my high notes are STILL there after 4 hours! This is no doubt due to the fact the this piece is so small. Heres my question...will continually playing this mouthpiece have any negative effects on my lip cause it has such a small cup? Im thinking that if I play till Im tired with the Heim like I did with my big cup Bach 3c, it will be the same. Thoughts & Inputs???

a positive result is that you will be able to pucker up and kiss better.
