Hello, have a mouthpiece question

08Bulldog12 · 10-05-2009, 02:35 PM

Im looking at purchasing a mouthpiece that will let me play in the higher register more easily but will not sacrifice tone quality.

I've looked at Schilke mouthpieces but don't know which model would best fit my needs.

If you could offer any input that would be great

Check out something with an A cup! 14A4a (3c rim size) 11A(7E) etc....

There are no shortcuts!!!

PRACTICE!!!

I was waiting for that...3C is a fine all around mouthpiece.

Love the picture Solar Bell

3c's are what I call a "universal mouthpiece" which means it's good for any genre or piece.

HIGH NOTES COME WITH TIME. Rome was not build in a day, and you chops are no different.

PRACTICE

OK Listen up and listen good, I assume youve played on a 3C? try a LOUD 1.5C its deep, soft rim, and small opening so for somereason you get better tone than a 3 but you also have alot more ease on the high register once you get used to it, takes a feew weeks to but its worth it

08Bulldog12 - you have to get used to the people on this site. Some are a raisin short of a fruitcake (oops - I mean they have enough raisins to be a fruitcake - or something - I forget which way it is).
