Subj: [kl] Mouthpiece Suggestions
Date: Fri, 21 May 2004 22:12:18 -0400

I am looking into changing my setup - primarily the mouthpiece - and wanted
to sollicit some suggestions as to what to try.

I've been playing exclusively on Bays (various facings) for the last 12
years and am not really happy with them anymore. They lag on articulation
and are a little too flexible - i.e. really sensitive to embouchure changes.
I tried out 6 of his other models T, H1, and H3 (2 each) a few months ago
and found them to be rather horrid for playing in the clarino & altissimo
registers. I don't know if those particular ones happened to be warped, but
I sent them all back. I couldn't get notes out above altissimo A to save my
life no matter what reeds I tried. I need something a little more stable
across registers that generally offers a focused, dark, and CLEAR tone, and
something that's a little easier to control.

Any ideas?

Bryan
