Re: Jazz Mouthpiece for Intermediate Player?

I'm on the fence on this one. I don't think a jazz mouthpiece in an of itself will be much help...unless you already play jazz fairly well. Then, trying new mouthpieces ("jazz" and "non-jazz" alike) might open a new door for you.

For me, gear in general is dubious. If I think I "need" some piece of gear in order to sound the way I want to sound, surely there are hundreds of people out there (more talented than me) who could pick up my existing gear and produce the sound I think the new gear would give me.

So...personally, I'd just try to obtain the sound I'm looking for using my existing gear, and once I've achieved it - or have come very close to it - then, I'd try a few different gear items to see if any of them make that sound easier for me to produce.

I know everyone approaches these things differently, and comes to different conclusions - but the above is what I've found to be true for me...in instrumental music as well as sports.

Whatever you decide to do, best of luck and have fun!
