Re: Mouthpiece facings

Is it too late to post on the "long face," "short face" thing again?

It is MANY factors which are all physical in nature and NOT based on purely subjective grounds. I believe the most important factors in players tending toward one over the other is the amount of mouthpiece you are comfortable taking into the mouth, and the angle at which you hold the instrument. There may also be factors such as the size of lower lip (amount of lower lip you place over the teeth as well), where you place the tongue, how you execute tonguing........etc.

and for what it's worth......at this moment.......LEBLANC is BETTER!!!!!!
