Re: Buffet Mouthpiece?

I believe most of us would agree that the Buffet mouthpieces are not so good.

The best advice I have ever heard (and pass on) is that you should only seek out new equipment to solve some problem you are having with your current equipment.

So if you are having some pitch issues, articulation issues, control issues, you can try a variety of mouthpieces to see how they alter those things.

I have always found that your basic sound is a function of creating enough pressure in your oral cavity. That is a function of actively pushing air with your abdominal muscles (playing should always feel like you're blowing up a moderately resistant baloon).
