Wanted some input on a new mouthpiece. As soon as i got to interlochen my teacher put me on an M13-Lyre..big change from my B45!!
I'm now finding this mouthpiece really closed and resistant and am dieing to change! It's hard to explain but i get too much of a wood-hitting-plastic sound and the harder i blow it gets to a point of completely closing off. Most of my reeds are starting to feel like toilet paper on this mouthpiece. I'm using 3 1/2 V12's now...4 was wayy to hard for me.
So i was thinking maybe a mouthpiece like the M15 (slightly longer facing + more open) or M30 would help?
any suggestions would be great =D

M15 and M30 are both nice mouthpieces, I played the M15 for about four years. But, if you would really like to try a "magical" mouthpiece, I suggest any of Richard Hawkins' mouthpieces. His mouthpieces really open up the sound, you will also notice that the tone color is more brilliant. I love all of his that I own!

Ask your teacher to check it out....did you try several?

I'll post my inquiry here, since the subject of moutnpieces came up. My original post was about mouthpiece diferences between an HS and a bundy #3. I've forgotten why I had a HS (Selmer) on my Malerne many years ago in HS Band. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We'll i tried a bunch of M13 lyres and choose a good one..but he didn't let me try others.. i think he wanted to put me on an M15 but forgot
I'll ask if i can try the M15 and the hawkins you mentioned, he actually taught at interlochen a few year ago before a new teacher came in! Wow, didn't know it was the same hawkins!
any particular hawkins you would reccomend? something closer to M13/M15 as opposed to B40/45
thanx
I also heard about Cheddevile? dont know much about them

Hawkins has three professional mouthpieces: "S" model, "B" model, and "R" model. All are great...it just depends on what you like. Glad we could help.

First of all the city name is Tel Aviv, not Tele Viv, and I did see him when he was here. Both in the concert and in the master class. He had good advice to the students in the master class.
