Re: Tone VS Articulation

Me too. Personally I don't like a mouthpiece where it feels like you're trying to drive a bus, having to work really hard to sound each note. Distracts from playing the music. I'm also biased that I don't particularly like an overly dark sound. Sounds good at first but in the long run just doesn't cut the mustard. And remember there are a lot of things you can do with reed choice.

In the past, my own decisions have been made in dress rehearsal in the orchestra pit, and sometimes during a performance. When the going gets tough, that's when the right mouthpiece will show its colours.
