Mouthpiece on its Way

Author: Brother Joe

Hello all,

My name is Joe Faith, a woodwinds teacher in Indiana. I've been playing and teaching for many years now and have been playing for the past 25 on a Gigliotti P34 with Mitchell Lurie 5's. I have played on many others for experimentation and have always been able to make most mouthpieces sound good, but I've been "muscling" my sound for a long time. My breath support is , well, severe. I can play an unstopped staccato like a Sumo wrestler!

I have felt for some time that a change is in order and have read so many great things about Behn mouthpieces that I ordered one. Brad seems like an awfully nice man and used to play with a former teacher of mine-so we're practically related! I ordered the model A from his Vintage collection. It should be here in the next couple of days. I think it's time to stop working so hard.

I'll Keep you posted on the mouthpiece.
