Re: Wonderful new video on Robert Marcellus

"How was it that Robert Marcellus got by without a Chedeville?"

I recall Marcellus saying that there was a refinement or elegance to the Chedeville sound and that he preferred Kaspars as more of a "working man's" mouthpiece.

FWIW- Odrich pictures a Kaspar mouthpiece that he says was used for the famous Mozart recording. Perhaps this was used for a performance of the concerto as he did perform it at various times with the orchestra. I was fortunate to have studied with Marcellus for a time. I had asked him about that mouthpiece and distinctly recall him telling me that the mouthpiece had been broken.
