Re: An end to a mouthpiece search?

My dog ate my mouthpiece.

That's a good one.

The best thing to do first is ensure that you are playing your current mouthpiece correctly. One of the best pieces of advice I got off the board is to play an open "G" and keep taking in more moutnpiece until it squawks. You just back up slightly from that spot and VOILA, that's the best point at which to play that mouthpiece. I have been guilty of trying to get short lay mouthpieces to play with my long lay moutpiece embouchure....YIKES!

Now, I get a lot more, out of a lot more mouthpieces. Still, you need to find one that works for you........just settle in first before you leap.
