Re: Group Mouthpieces?

Since I wrote the original post, I have changed the way I feel about this thanks to everyone's input. I do see how giving everyone the same good quality mouthpiece is an improvement over the whole section playing their stock mouthpieces. My jury is still out over whether or not it will provide the unified sound the director seeks. Perhaps it will, though, provide a better sound. I'll let you know what happens at school.

To get a more unified sound, I think that, instead of stopping at mouthpieces, there needs to be some individual experimentation in reed strength, tuning, and an examination of instrument quality/condition to go along with it. I remember the first time a teacher "tuned me in" to the fact that you can hear the sound vibrations faster or slower, depending on how "in tune" you are with another instrument. That was fascinating, and probably something that should be demonstrated to this group.
