Re: Intonation Nightmare

The 13 Series is marketed to us in the States as a mouthpiece that will play at A=440 on an R13 horn. What it does is play LOWER than their standard mouthpiece because it has a larger tone chamber. Whether this is better or worse can be a matter of debate, but others have also commented on the number of students that now have rather unattractive intonation problems with them. I stand on the side of wanting to keep the 12ths even and allowing room for comfortable downward AND upward adjustments with the embouchure.

The mere fact that band directors like the 13 Series because it keeps students from playing "bodaciously" sharp is just another reason for me not to like them.
