Mouthpieces   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2271 of 2691 |
What can anyone tell me about mouthpieces. I'm only just beginning again after a
decade or 2 off and the mouthpiece that came with the horn is a 12C. Looking
ahead I am inclined to think I want to be more effecient in the upper range more
than the lower. Does the 12C mouthpiece seem like the most right mouthpiece to
begin again with and to carry me over into the future with what I am thinking,
at least today, that I want to do? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

I agree with Clay. Find a mouthpiece that is comfortable. Support and air create your range. Also, how much upper lip to lower lip ratio in the cup does....
