 H-Frame and A-Frame mouthpieces
Author: rgoldem

What are the differences between an H-frame and an A-frame mouthpiece in terms of tuning and also tonal qualities?

I own a Grabner CXZ-AW A-frame mouthpiece that helps me quite a lot with intonation matters and Mr. Grabner himself confirmed that the “A” provides a mellower experience in the throat tones and a smoother tone overall.

However, I don’t understand the rationale behind this. Can anyone provide me more details of this as a fact or it is just a subjective impression? Mouthpiece discussions are always relative but an insightful view may help me understand this phenomena. Also, if my impression is correct why is so difficult to find A-frame mouthpieces nowadays?

Thank you.

P.S: English is not my mother tongue; please excuse any errors on my part.
