Re: Finding a Mouthpiece

I don't believe there is a mouthpiece that can work for everyone. Just because you like the tone produced by Vandoren artists like Michael Lowenstern, it doesn't mean you'll get his sound by playing on his mouthpiece model, or even his mouthpiece. I think we should all develop our own sound. Hear the sound of what you want to sound like in your head, and work hard to achieve that sound through mostly practice. Mouthpieces and other accessories will definitely help, but nothing beats practice.

You don't have to play on Vandorens if they don't suit you. Whatever mouthpieces makes you sound the best is the mouthpiece you should play on.
